I find it so hard to believe that Robert is gone. I talked to him on Monday at grocery store and he looked well and we had a nice little chat. You must be devastated and have my deepest sympathy. He remains a part of my neighborhood memories as do all the Cornett family. You will always have a special place in my heart.
