Dear Cheryl,
Though many of these thoughts
we shared with you and Bob at the services and luncheon we really felt it so
important to put them in writing for you and for us.
Your Mom and Dad were just so
wonderfully generous opening their home and hearts to Cyndy in her first and
second years at BC, and to me as well before and after we were married
12/28/1969. Special treats were the delicious dinners Pat would prepare and
share and any number of times Bob went out of his way to drive me over to UPS
in Watertown for my evening shift.
We spoke to many of your
family members who were also members of the “Third Floor Club”, beneficiaries
of your folks’ remarkable generosity and graciousness. What an extraordinary couple and example!
We felt so honored to be part
of the tribute to your Mom, and especially to share the experience with
Lois. It is amazing to think that they
met when Lois was 16, working at Edison when your Dad was first courting your
Mom, and their friendship flourished for the rest of their lives. The
similarities between Bob D and Bob R
were remarkable – both such loving, funny and kind men and Dads. Whenever we
drive by 982 Beacon we experience such wonderful memories and such profound
gratitude.
We will always remember your
Mom, our dear friend Pat, as the personification of grace, dignity, intellect
and kindness. Your total dedication to
her over these past challenging years was the ultimate return of the love she
shared with you.
We have made a donation in
Pat’s memory to Hospice.
Perhaps we can connect when
we are traveling in Florida in our RV Jan/Feb, happy refugees from the cold. We
will be in touch.
Peace and Love,
Mike and Cyndy
