Not sure what to say?

I still think of Robert often. He was such a humble and kind man. He had a special "mother/son" relationship with my Mom. I was always amazed that they both died on Oct. 21st, two years apart. May they be together praising the Lord and resting in eternal peace.

Dear Mary and Boys,

I can't begin to have the words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Robert was a wonderful man and a wonderful friend. I will never forget him being one of the first people to approach me at Burton Heights UMC and then when my Mom and I sponsored him for his Emmaus Walk. He was a real person who spoke the real word of God. My Mom will be so happy to greet him in Heaven with a big hug and some wonderful conversation they never had trouble having. I loved...

To all who knew Robert we have indeed lost a true friend. I wish to send my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Our world now has a void in it but Heaven has recieved a new star.

Mary, I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Robert was a wonderful personhe will be missed. I hope you find comfort knowing that he touched so many lives. I will always remember him calling you his "beautiful bride"

So sad. Mary, my heart is breaking for you and the kids/grandkids. I pray that your memories will bring comfort to all of you during these difficult days.

Mary,
My thoughts are with you and your sons and grandchildren at this time. Robert and I developed a close friendship over the many years we worked together. May the wonderful memories of the years shared help you through this time.
