We will miss our buddy, Bob, so much! We are so blessed and fortunate to have gotten to know him these past few years -- his gentle spirit, his room-brightening grin, and that endearing shoulder shrug that made him so special to us. We enjoyed watching you two as you made your home even more special, during your walks around the neighborhood, and sharing pizza together. Please know that Bob will always be in our hearts and you can count on us to be there for you. Love you!
