Robert,
May you be comforted and in peace. I wish there had been more time for all of us to visit together. I think you would have enjoyed spending some time up at Lake Camanche. You will be in our thoughts when we go fishing.
Blessings,

Robert, It is not goodbye, it is as my mother put it "happy trails until we meet again". We as family will all be united again. We will have to have a big fish fry with all the fish we will catch together! Love, Tiffany, Vince and Vinny
