I'm so sorry you have lost Bob. You both complimented each other so much. Bob was always kind, thoughtful and non judgmental. I will never forget the time he willingly accompanied you Lyn to Christchurch when I had to have someone around during my stem cell transplant. Bob happily stayed there with you when you had to extend your stay until Sharon came down. He said "its family, you do anything for family". And of course all family was important to him. He will leave a big gap in your life which I know will be hard for you Lyn the family, children and step children as well as the grandchildren. I'm thinking of you and hope you don't hesitate to ask if you need a hand. Love always Heather
