So sorry to hear of my dear friends death. We talked the Tuesday before he passed away. we normally talked every 7 to 10 days. Aimee, Celeste, Michayla and Luke Spano, who he talked about every time we talked, He would tell me the same thing that he told me the previous phone conversation but I know it made him proud so I would let him tell me as many times as he wanted.
He told me they had finally gotten his BP and Heart beat straightened out. He also told me he was black and blue all over from him falling a lot in recent weeks. May you rest in peace now and be at free from all the pain and suffering you have been in the the last few years. Thanks for being my friend for many years. All of his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you Poochie, Bob Stevens
