I met Robert at my grandma Leonarda Serrano's funeral in North Platte NE. My dad was George Serrano from North Platte NE. I found out then that Robert was my cousin. I didn't realize that he was just one year older than me. I pray that God will give you the comfort that you will need through this difficult time. I am truly sorry for your loss. May God bless you all.
