Dear Donna Jackie and the Bloom Family; Donna, I'm sorry about the passing of your beloved brother Bobby. I really didn't know him very well although you will always have your wonderful memories that will sustain you. At least knowing that he is no longer in any pain is a blessing. May he now rest in peace and may his memory be for a blessing to you. Sending love

Dear (Cousin) Helen and family and (Cousin) Donna Robert ('Bobby') knew sports! He loved his Boston Bruins. It was always an adventure to meet him at the Promenade and receive yet another lesson in (whatever) sport! May Bobby's memory sustain you now during these initial difficult days and always. And may Bobby's name be for a blessing. Judy & Michael Litvak and family
