I was surprised and saddened to read of Robert's death. His passions and concerns blazed bright with fierce authenticity and humble compassion. He spoke his mind with energy and humility. His heart and voice will be missed in the circles of fellowship we shared together. I grieve the memories we did not share making and the lessons of life we did not share learning. May his example inspire us to risk caring and connecting deeply.

Annie,

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Bob. I met him once and he was such a fun-filled spirit. I hope all the fun memories you had together remain warm in your heart forever. My sympathies.
