Uncle Rob

Today is your graduation day to be with our Heavenly Father. We celebrate your life as we suffer endless pain of your physical loss. You are the light in our darkness, you have given to many the gift of your selflessness and your endless teachings. God knew the suffering and gave you peace. May you always know you are loved deeply with joy of memories and sorrow that will only be until we meet in heaven. May you rest in knowing God loves his children and you reached so many through Gods works with love. You will be greatly missed. Rest in the glory that God has prepared for you. I love you.

To My Dear Uncle Robert, May you rest in peace in god's glory. You my dear uncle will be missed by all in this family. I know now your not in pain and you have now graduated at the top of your class. You are home now, teaching and mentoring all who have passed. I will miss our daily phone calls, your jokes, your wit, your humor but most of all I will miss my doting uncle Robert.

You raised a great son, anyone would be proud to have him as a son. I know this is extremely hard for Becky and we will be there for her as well. Rest in Peace my Uncle/Father, I wish I could hear your voice or see you one last time. I love you so much, I am devastated over the loss of loosing you. But I know what you would say, you need to go on honey and be the best you can be. You asked if anything happened to you to please take care of mom, we will do just that. I love you, Love your blonde hair blue eyed niece Adele.
