I am so sorry to come across this listing for Bob. My name is Sylvia, (nee MacKinnon) and I was the flower girl in Bob and Janet's wedding. My dad Morrison MacKinnon and Bob were friends. I have the wedding photo hanging on my wall and look at it many times. I remember how stressful things were looking for the white shoes, or whether I would have a wee veil on my hear wear. I did. I loved it, my first wedding and I got to share a room with Bob. That was a big joke the next day. I do believe I give a cross on a chain for being their flower girl. It was one of the first big events in my life. My thoughts are with the family of Bob and Janet. - Posted by: Sylvia Carriere () on: Jul 17, 2017
