I was sorry to learn that Robert had passed away. He was a Childhood friend to the family. He used to be good friends with my brother Bobby (Robert Long) and Russell Long. Both of them are gone now. Bobby died in 2002 and Russell in 2012. My love and prayers go out to the family.

Robert, it brings my heart some joy that you and my sister Debby are now together again. She missed you so much and was sick for so many years, but now you are both healthy and together.
