Dear Fern and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of adjusting to Robert's passing. He will be telling his wonderful stories in Heaven. He was always a pleasure to be around, so brave in battle during the war, and was a great provider for his family. He will definitely be missed by all who knew and loved him. ~ Charlsa
