Kelley, I will miss hearing your
Dad’s voice when he calls into talk with you at work. However, I will still hear a part of him through you. You have been and are a very trusted, responsable, and valued co-worker and friend. I am sure that is due in a large part to your Dad’s influence. I love you!

I will miss my Uncle Bod so much. He was always so kind and fun. All of our family celebrations are marked in my memory with his smile and laugh.

I was married to Bob’s brother, Paul Lindsey Peeden from 1970-77 and knew the whole Peeden clan well. I was a hippie at the time and remember how I thought Bob was such a conservative guy. When I got to know him I found him to be so kind and open and authentic. No airs at all. Cindy, I remember you too with love and I send you more love now…Also, I would like to get in touch with Samantha Mellinkoff and Pat Peeden. Could you or someone send me their emails or phone numbers at your convenience. Please be well and take good care of yourself. Carol
