Mary, Jason and Keith,
We were so sorry to hearing of Robert's passing. He will surely be missed by all that knew him. He was such a loving and caring man. Over the years, we've heard much about the "Promised Land." In our hearts we feel that Robert knows this land as home.
May a lifetime of wonderful memories give Strength to each of you in the days ahead. We will never forget his smiling face. He was one of those extraordinary people who will never be forgotten. His life was like a sunbeam that lit up the world around him. Now we can bask in the rainbow of the memories that we'll nurture in the years to ahead.
