All praise to GOD today and forever more. I am truly grateful for the time GOD allowed us to have with Uncle Robert. We have lost an AWESOME story teller and a man with an exceptionally huge heart. I will always cherish that smile and his ability to make others laugh with the stories of his life. Uncle Robert, trust me when I tell you that you will really be missed. Our loss is definitely HEAVEN's gain. My prayers of comfort and peace are with the immediate family and all that loved Uncle Robert. God had a need for a pillar in heaven and he filled it with my uncle.
