Barb and children, so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Barb and Bob just happened to be with me and my family at my father's (Charlie Hovasse) passing in 2015 at St. Francis Hospital on the Hospice floor. You were so kind to our family at that difficult time. I also remember you both at my Mother's home days before she passed in 2012. Such good, kind friends! Sending love and thoughts to you and your family!

Mr. "T" was the best! He was part of my life since I was 4 years old, so 56+ years I've known him. Such a great man with a funny sense of humor. He will be dearly missed by all. To Mrs. T, Michelle, Mike, Monique and Nicole, who I've always considered family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Try to remember his humor and hopefully it will help you get through this difficult time! Love you all!-
