She cared for them, supported Bob through his grief, and even helped arrange for Mary\u2019s body to be transported properly. Bob stayed with her for over a week until the paperwork was ready.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"1081\">The two formed a deep bond. Bob continued visiting her every year with his daughter. After Mrs. Sticks passed away, Bob learned she had included him in her will.
