To Anne Marie,
I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your husband Bob! I vividly remember the one time meeting him. You introduced us at the Folk Festival several years ago. It was a pleasure chatting with Bob and would've been great for me cross paths with him more often. Bob clearly had great love for Belvidere and the city of Lowell as he did for his family. He shall be greatly missed. Please accept my condolences and keep all the wonderful memories close. Bob will forever be within you. My very best to you and your children, remain blessed.
With Love,
Ken (Former St. Anne's parishioner)
