To the Thornhill family,
Known as "Thornhill" among the Rke. City School family, your loved one was so admired for his work ethic and warm spirit - a dedicated employee. His smile and quiet manner drew students and co-workers to him even as a "floater" to school families who did not really know him!
May you accept his entry into Eternal Life. God's blessings to you....

Dear Aunt Florine and Family:

I am so very sorry that we were unable to console you in person, but our love, hearts and thoughts are with each and every relative of Robert's during this time of bereavement. May God bless each and everyone now and always. Robert is in good hands. I will always remember my cousin Robert Lee. We had some memorable times growing up as kids when I visited Roanoke during the summer.

Love,
Geraldine and family.

My dearest Barbara and Family, I am so sorry to have heard about Robert . There are no words to express what you are going through. Praying that God will grant all of you peace. Love,

I was blessed to have known "Mr. T." as I called him, during the time I lived in Roanoke. He was such a wonderful person. He always had a smile and loved a good joke. I will always remember his laughter. You will truly be missed Mr. T. Rest in God's arms knowing that you touched many peoples' lives, and that you made a difference in this world. You made it a better place.
