Auntie Barb (and family), I'm so sorry it took this long for me to respond. I'm non-persona gratis with the Thayers and it takes a while for someone to get the information to me.
I can't imagine, nor would I dare a guess, at the depth of your loss. I look at the obituaries from time to time and realize that my husband Bill is a mere ten years away from a lot of people listed and I cry just at the thought that he may leave before I do.
Auntie Barb I remember all the visits we made to your house and how happy we were to spend the time with you and Uncle Bob. I don't remember once feeling anything but loved and Uncle Bob always had a lap to sit on and a story to tell. I truly regret that in the past years I haven't even made the attempt to visit; you and he have always been my favorite Aunt and Uncle. I have many happy, sometimes a little "off" (good gravy!), memories; more than I thought until last night when I was told and they all came flashing out of the recesses of my mind.
I love you so, so much. Please let me visit you when you feel comfortable with that. Robbie and Bonnie, I lost my Dad, I know how horrible I felt. I won't suppose to understand how you do. I will say that as the years go by, the love you have for him now will strengthen ten-fold. You'll hear him when you speak.
My love to all (for what it's worth)
Peg Luft (nee Thayer)
