Dear Gill Family,
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers for comfort and guidance from our Heavenly Father. I shall never forget the kindness shown by Robert and Cindy when they visited our family after the tragic death of our dear Adrienne 10/24/2008.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful God-given tenor voice. No one could sing "Jesus, You're the Center of My Joy" or "I Love the Lord Who Heard My Cry" the way Robert sang! May his offspring soon realize, develop and share their talent. God will bless you!
