Beverly and I (Bob) would like to deeply apologize to all her friends and acquaintances that this notice was not timely, as we had not been notified by the other sibling of her passing.
Our apologies again, and thank you for understanding.
Mother may you really rest in Peace. You will be in our hearts forever.
Bob and Beverly
