I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Bob and all the Delaneys during my grade school years at Lincoln when our families had such wonderful interactions. My sympathy to all the family, and specifically to those who, along with Bob, I knew best--Lora, Butch and Karry.
Lora, we are so sorry to hear about your brother. We pray for God to give you strength and courage as you face the coming days. God bless you and all your family.
So very sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in all you thoughts and memories.
Dearest Karry, Brad and Lisa, Michelle, Kris, and grandchildren. As you share, talk, and remember, may you truly find that the one you loved so much still lives in your hearts and minds. With deepest sympathy, sister-in-law and aunt, Lora Jane
