Not sure what to say?

Some people are born to shine-Robert was one of those people. He was a never-tiring champion for the Lord and a wonderful human being. A talented,kind,gentle soul has left the earth and we are all better for knowing him. Now,he can walk hand in hand with his mom and his King on streets paved with gold. We should not grieve, but celebrate the fact that we were touched and blessed by this amazing young man.

I sat in awe, as I read Robert's name in the obituaries. What a sweet and caring young man! The kindness he showed to others on this earth, can only be matched by the sweet kindness, demonstrated by his awesome mother, Becky. He, like his mother, will be sadly missed by all who love him. To the entire Simmons and Kessinger Families... be assured, there are hundreds, if not thousands praying for your peace and comfort, as you go through the days ahead, and adjust to life without Robert....

My sincere thought and prayers are with the family.Robert had a lot of good days here on earth . now he is meeting with the biggest day of his life he is with his mom and the lord. we will all miss him as he was funny and fun to be around if you got to know him . you had to love him. He was like the rest of the family. Lord look after them all. Chuck and Sherry fouts family

My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the Simmons and Kessinger families. Robert was one of my childhood friends and i will forever cherish the memories ive had with him. He was an amazing person. As soon as i heard about his passing, i thought about when he used to sing "grandpas rocking chair" when he was younger. He was so talented. His smile was contagious and he was one of the best people ive honestly ever known. To the kessinger and Simmons families, please try to find happiness...
