Eileen,

I am truly sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My tears of sadness turned to smiles of warmth as I read your post and the incredible strength you have shown me as well as your amazing way of looking at parts of the journey that many would be angry about and finding that bit of light in even the darkest of times. I was especially touched at how the time you and Bob had of late was not clouded by the devestation that accompanies the news of recurrence.

You were truly blessed by the chain of miracles in your life just as I have been blessed to be part of the journey with you and Bob. May your heart always be filled with His love and may your memories be filled with the joys of life you and Bob shared.

Ed
