    I am deeply sorry to hear about the passing of Robert - your beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather. I am celebrating his life and mourning his passing with you. I remember when he came to the MSOB during the eclipse (was it 2017?) to bring a better pin-hole viewing device because the ones we created were not working. My sincere condolences on your loss.
