Not sure what to say?





Miss you Uncle Robbie! Wish I would have been able to spend a little more time with you the last couple years you were with us on this earth, but I do appreciate and cherish all the times we were able to spend with you. It sure would be nice for one more camping trip and one more pool tournament!

Love you,
