Merrilyn, My heart skipped a beat when I saw the envelope from Rideau afraid of what news it may deliver. I was very sad because I was so fond of Bob. I never told him, but he reminded me of my father whom I lost when I was 13. I'm sure you are right that he would want to leave this world with his family and friends remembering the fun and good times. It will be 2 years on October 23rd since Bryan died, but he is in my head and heart constantly and I still can't fathom he's gone. You are fortunate to have your kids and grand kids and I know they can provide the strength and love to get you through this new chapter in your life. My Bryan was so fond of Bob, and I can remember some funny stories of trips they took together. Let's assume the two of them are having fun in paradise. My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family, and remember, be good to yourself. Love, Georgia P.S. I stupidly disposed of the envelope with your return address and this is why I am sending the condolence on line. I hope the funeral home will pass this message on to you personally.
