Last weekend long time friend Arnold Schwarzenegger paid Bob a visit in Canada. Tosca Reno shared the memories in her blog and reminds us all that we never know what tomorrow will bring. Her last blog post shared, “Who knows what the night or tomorrow will bring, but we all love you Robert Kennedy. I love you.”
