I worked with Bob for about 10 years at NG and in those 10 years I met and spoke with Aggie several times. Once I met her I knew why Bob loved her so much. She was very attractive, funny and dedicated to him. Things change as life advances but love endures. Memories endure too and I pray that those happy memories will bring the family comfort as they go on.
