I need to share my story as I was coming to Robert's viewing. I listen to K-Love radio. I rarely use my CD's anymore. There was only 2 in the 6 hold player. I tried to play the 1st CD over again and forgetting how to use I changed it to the other CD. I got chills because it was the CD from when he and I went to a Veterans Blues concert across the bay. He was with me as I traveled. I am not going to be surprised and happy by your knocking on my door. Love you.

Robert, I just heard and I am saddened. We have been friends since you rode a bicycle up to the park. I am sure Brother Brad will be sad also. I last saw you 2 years ago and we were both doing very well. Your smile and up personality was a wonderful thing to behold. You will be missed.

Robert, I cant believe your smiling face isnt going to crack jokes about our crazy lives anymore. I only knew you for 8 months but you turned into a close friend. One whom had a heart and compassion. You listened when I needed a shoulder and never hesitated when a friend needed help. I will always consider you a true friend and Im honored to have had you in my life, if only for a short time. God Bless you sweetie...now you are one of the angels too.....
