Rob, and Clara, My heart sunk this morning when I heard of Bernie's death and read within the obituary that my dear friend Patty had also passed away. Such a huge loss for you and your families. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Robby, so sorry to see this notice of brothers passing. Was really surprised to see that Patty had also passed. Are you still full timing it in Texas? We booked a permanent site for the second year. Text me at 419-463-1467 if you want to meet up.
