"Today would have been Bobby's 72nd birthday,” she began. "The reason I am posting so late is that I spent the entire day going thru 50,000 photos over the past 20 yrs. Bobby's birthday was always extra special because we always knew in the back of our minds that the cancer could come back at anytime and to live life to the fullest.”
She then brought up some special memories they had after his cancer had resurfaced. “We traveled, spent time with friends and family and most importantly loved each other till his last breath. He was beyond generous .. always picking up the check for everyone, driving everyone home even if it took him. An extra 2 hours RT in crazy NYC traffic and let us not forget Camp Zarin which ran like a hotel with every bed filled every summer weekend on our boat and in our homes.”
She concluded with a special message to Bobby which read, "Thank you for being the most incredible husband but more importantly my best friend.”
