I worked with Robert years ago and one thing I can tell you is he adored and praised Judy every single day. He was also do proud of his vyoung boys who had not yet made him grandfather and great. I have not seen Robert in many years but wanted to express my condolences to Judy, the boys and their families.

Ms. Judy , Randy , Ricky and Ronnie first I’d like to say I Love y’all. And so sorry you have to go through this. You know if it wouldn’t have been for Mr. Robert I probably would’ve never prayed out load in front of people. He kinda just said in prayer meeting Melinda pray , what was I going to do get up and run off Lol. My goodness it’s funny now but then I was shaking and scared to death.
Again I’m sorry for your loss.
