To the Wray family, please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. I will keep you in my prayers. My name is Yolanda Kirby, I, am from Connecticut and graduated from Norfolk State University. I personally did not know Robert, I knew of him, I know Bobby Wray, looking at Robert's photo, I see Bobby, I, clearly see the resemblance of the two. Years ago, Bobby, would walk me home to Norfolk State campus, which was very sweet of him. Although, I did not know Robert personally, I say all of this to say, just as he and Bobby resemble in looks, I know in my heart there lies a resemblance in their souls. Rest in peace, Robert Wray.
