Guestbook

  1. Bob, It is with such a heavy heart I write to you. I know how wonderful and sweet Maud was and how much you cared for her. She was by your side for so many years. I hope time will ease some of your sorrow so you can remember the wonderful moments that you shared together. I salute how much you fought to keep her well cared for and be treated with dignity. All my best wishes and sympathy, Margie Gordon

  2. Bob, I’m so sorry for your loss. I feel privileged to have had the chance to meet Maude when you brought her to the museum. She was so lucky to have had you as a partner. Thinking of you and your family.

  3. I first met Maude at George Washington’s Mount Vernon. A Historic Interpreter, her capacity to explain and entertain made her a sparkling representative of our nation’s Founder. Always thoughtful and cheerful she was cherished for her smile and laugh. She and Bob have lived only one floor above me and I had the pleasure of ‘cat-sitter’ for their silly ChiChi. As a decline set in I felt I could tell the words she wished to speak when they evaded her. Her face and eyes, so expressive; our walks were tender when she pointed to the pretty shrub, new flower, bird on branch—all beautiful things. As truly, was she. Bob, your care of Maude, and her dignity, is representative of the fine, good man you are. It’s an honor to be thought a friend of you both. Most fond, and prayerful regards.

  4. Maude was a dear and loving friend. We shared many wonderful moments and much spiritual richness together. Through sharing her delight in her gratitude journals, she taught me much about the joy of gratitude. Thank you, Bob, for your care and love. We shall miss Maude deeply and we will hold you in our prayers. Much love, Judy and Fred Ceppa

  5. Maude was a dear sweet spirit who was a joy to her family and friends. She had an enthusiasm for learning, sharing and serving others. Although she had been slowly slipping away from us she kept her smile and laugh to share with us.

  6. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Bob, as you have been during the past several years. You were the best caregiver ever. We will miss Maude’s smile and gentle ways. Suzanne, Fred, and Tucker

  7. Bob, I am so sorry to hear about Maude. As her first cousin, most of my memories are from childhood. Her sweet nature is what I remember most. Thinking of you.
