Family, (Shirlee, Ken, Amanda,and Vicki) we extend our sincerest condolences to each of you and the entire Ducksworth family. We are confident in God's Holy word when in the book of John, chapter 14: verses 1-4 he wrote…” Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that 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. You know the way to the place where I am going. Rest in His word and know there is no better place to be. We love you all and pray God's continuous blessings upon each of you.

My son was 1 of those very fortunate people who had Rob as his friend. Our
sincere sympathy to you, Jessie, and all your family. Rob, was indeed, special! He probably thought Gary needed his help, and they are friends
together again.
