Dear Sandy,

I was very sadden to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

John 14:1-3:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

While Rob's passing leaves me with a heavy heart, I am so grateful that God saw fit to place him in my life. I have felt as close to Robo as I have to any of my brothers. I will sorely miss his always positive, playful attitude. Why does it seem that the ones that our world needs the most are taken so young? Well done, good and faithful servant! I'll miss you.
