    Mrs. Englehart, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know how much your and Mr. Englehart's friendship has meant to my parents over the years. I always remember the times I saw you all sitting around the dining room table at my parents' house playing cards. May the Holy Spirit be close to you in these difficult days. And may eternal rest grant until him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, by the mercy of God, rest in peace.

    Evelyn and family I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. We first met back when Evelyn and Bob joined our bowling league at Princess Lanes and I was so glad that they did as they and their friends, Betty and Norm fit right in with our group. Over the years, Bob was always such a happy and positive person who was so proud of his children's and grandchildren's accomplishments. You could tell how much he loved his family. Although he will not physically be with you, I am sure that he will be watching over you all and doing all he can to ensure nothing but the best. May he live on in your hearts and through memories of many good times through his life. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
