Dearest Rob and Keitha,
Rob - Mr G and I wanted to thank you so much for letting us see our precious Mom when we got back into town! We are so sorry to hear of your precious loss - we had no idea that you were going thru this terrible loss. Know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. They tell us that God never gives us more than we can handle, but at this time, when a precious baby is called home, it's very difficult not to question why. The only thing I can think is "That for what ever reason God needed a special ANGEL to assist him in heaven!"
Again Rob Thank You for being there for Us - and know how very sorry we are for your loss.
God Bless You and Yours,
Debbie and Neil Galpin

"When God calls little Angels to dwell with Him above
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love,
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold.
So he picks a rose bud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, so He takes but a few,
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows, will always be "goodbye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children & angels are hard to find."

My deepest sympathies are with your entire family.
