I am so sorry for the loss of Robert. I remember Robert, as the younger sibling of Jay and Barbara. Robert was a friend of my younger sister, Leslie. It is so hard to lose a sibling and I pray the your hearts will soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.

My condolences for Jeff's daughter and family. Jeff was a good friend to my family, always thoughtful, always helpful, ever keeping watch to make sure we were safe. I'm honored to say that it was our privilege to have gotten to know him even more in the recent years and the one thing that stayed true was his loyal and respectful nature. Jeff was one of the good ones. Gone too soon, fondly remembered, painfully missed. Rest easy my friend.

Love and light,
Benny, Samantha &
