Robert, I never thought I would find myself doing this I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to share a special connection with you. You truly are a beautiful, genuine person.

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Author Unknown

Heaven gained another angel in you Robert. All my sympathy goes out to Stacie and the whole family and God be with you all strength to you. He's presence may be gone, but not his love and memories he left with you.
