Dear Rose and Robbie,
I just heard of Nat's passing from Ann. You had mentioned to me that Nat was very ill but it is always a shock. I have such wonderful and vivid memories of our lives on Livingston and Haviland Road. I'm smiling. I'm wishing I could just give you both a big hug as words have no place at a time like this. I will try and call you today. My cell is 404-313-1419. Please call me if you don't hear from me.

I love you both,
gemma

Dearest Rose and Robert,

I can't tell you how very sad I was to have heard of Nat's passing. You know I always thought the world of him. When we met, I very quickly realized what a wonderful person he was and how witty and kind he was as well. We had some very funny moments together and I'll always remember him with a beautiful smile on his face. He was so proud of you Robert and so dedicated to you Rose. He had a full life and a loving family that he truly appreciated. I will miss him. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Much Love, Bobsie
