Dear Allison,
My cousins and I were so distressed when I found this obit for Bob. Although I never met him, I had come to love him through his letters and through your book. I know he lived to a very ripe old age and had a very
interesting and fulfilling life, but it is still a loss to humanity when we lose someone like him. Too many of our
stories and history leaves us when we lose our elders.
Our family reunion will be here at Holly Lake Ranch TX on Oct 23, 2016. You and your sister are very welcome to attend. I know you are very busy, but just know we would love to have you.
I really wish I could have met your father, and I am sorry the opportunity passed us by.
We will keep you and yours in our prayers.
Your cousin,
Carole
