Mr. Robert, We are going to miss you so much !! You have always been a very sweet person to us, never had a bad thing to say about anyone. You always treated us with kindness and respect and treated my kids like they were your own. I know you are in Heaven watching over all of us, just as you did when you were here with us on earth. May you have eternal peace and happiness in journeys with God. We love you and miss you.
