To Our Entire Family

Robert Lee was a devoted father, son, husband, brother, uncle and friend to all of us. Each and every one of us has a story to tell of a fond memory we shared with "Uncle" (as I like to call him) which we will hold deep in our hearts. Although this time is hard we have been truly been blessed in this family and should hold on to our strength and look to each other and God for comfort.

With love to all.
