Martha, Carol & Becky -
I am so saddened by Robert's passing. I have so many fond memories of time spent at your house, as a child. It felt like a second home to me! I felt such love when in your house and always remember Bob's teasing me about my name. I believe his favorite for me was "Rosie O'Grady"! He will forever hold a special place in my heart. Love to you all as you mourn his loss. I know God has a special place in Heaven just for him.
