Robert was a former student I was delighted to learn and respect for his artistic talent and sense of humor. An endearing nickname for a young man of his charm and talent stuck and I just simply called him "Finesse." To the family, my prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I will cherish the times I had with my ray of sunshine in my classroom and always remember whenever I feel the tinge of laughter and ease in the room.

Dear Robert,
Words aren't sufficient to express what we feel for you and your family at this time, but please know that we
are praying for you and that we are confident that the God we serve will bring a peace that passeth all understanding.

Ada and family my heart aches for your tremendous loss for no parent should have to bury their child. I pray for your comfort and that God will heal your hearts that grieve for your beloved son. We are praying for you and thinking about you.
