Dear Family, The passing of a loved one is always difficult. Know that we think of all of you in this time of sorrow. Robert in the face of his illness had such strengths. We witnessed that on his daughter's wedding day as he was determined to stand for his daughter's walk down the aisle.
Now, he is resting in the arms of the Lord. However, his memory will always rest in your hearts. Embrace those memories and his young grandchildren and generations to follow will know of him.

Dear Sue, Sally, Kay, Janice and Family,
Special condolences to you all for the love, and massive time you gave unselfishly to Robbie in his last years of need. He was fortunate to see his children married and enjoy seeing his grandchildren, though for such a short time.
He was quite a guy, quite a fighter, but finally did let go to meet his God.
May the beautiful memories of the past sustain you in your grief.
With much love, Janet
