Crystal and family, Sometimes it is hard to not be selfish and realize that he is in a much better place. I know how much we will all miss Rob, but you must remember that there is a plan for Rob in heaven and he was called home. The most conforting way to think about it is that God needed him a little more than we did. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are a strong person, Crystal and you will be blessed for being there for Rob and how we all know how you truly loved him.
God bless you Mrs. Cram.
