Dear Joelle, Chris, and the whole Rouyer Family:

It is with great sorrow that I write these words. Words, alone, cannot express our feelings about Robert because he was such a heart warming mand and an inspiration to all with physical problems. I never once heard him complanin about the constant pain he was in and he always had such a positive outlook on life. He had such a great sense of humor, it was a joy to be around him. Again, you have our deepest condolences on his passing.
Joe and Pat Zaffuto, Father and Mother-in-law of Joell Jones.
