To my cousin and family in this time of loss; though I cannot be there, please know I share your pain and your sorrow. Robert did so much for so many to include my family, words can never convey the gradated for the things he did, nor can they convey the sorrow of his passing.
In my travels around this world, I learned two things, there are no sufficient answers to human tragedy, only moral ones and the world is full of suffering, but it is also full of overcoming it.
