Thanks for the Memories

On his death bed they asked him where he wanted to be buried and he said. "Surprise me." Enjoy.

Do you remember Bob Hope? You'll enjoy this.

I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and also didn't realize it has been over 10 years since he died.

Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show. He touched a lot of lives during his life.

Thought you might enjoy a bit of memory touching, so sent it along to you.

Enjoy and recall a neat comedian.

BOB HOPE IN HEAVEN

For those of you too young to remember Bob Hope, ask your Grandparents and thanks for the memories. WHAT A WONDERFUL E-MAIL.

I HOPE THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR HEART.

This is a tribute to a man who DID make a difference.

To the person receiving this, the grace to pass it on to others.
