    Elnora and family –

    So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Unfortunately we are all getting older and those things happen.

    I tried to get in touch with you but my records are so out of date I had to ask Jeff for help. Thanks to Jeff, he keeps me up on things as he hears of them.

    I’d love to talk to you so give me a call or e-mail and I’ll call you back. Hope you are doing okay yourself.

    Miss you!

    Geri

    Elnora and Family,
    I feel a great loss as I’m sure you do. What I will not forget is
    the things Bob taught me and the farm work Eric and I did for him.
    I remember when Bob , Eric and I packed our selves into that
    little gold pickup and went to spend the day buckin’ hay and he
    took us to Dairy Queen for lunch. If I remember correctly he liked
    the Blackberry shake? When my dad was not in the picture Bob
    was and I will never forget him for it.

    He is in a good place now because he was a good man!
    My greatest condolences- Love Randy Friedemann
