To the family of Robert Gray,

I want to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one. I have known Michelle and her family for a long time and only knew of Robert through the times of his illnesses. Sandra, you were such a wonderful person to care for him the way that you did - giving so much of yourself and ensuring he had all the comforts and letting him know the place he was going to would be better than the place he was leaving. Bob, you were always there to ensure your dad was taken care of and had all he needed before he became so ill. Joe and Cheryl, you as well gave so much of your yourselves to help this family at any time it was needed. Robert was a lucky man to have so many care for him and his well being. Robert is resting peacefully now and his pain is over. I hope fond memories and laughter will get you through this sad and difficult time.

Sincerest Regards and Love,
Debbie

To my dear friend Michelle,

I know you are filled with sadness and relief all at the same time. Relief that your daddy will not suffer any longer and sadness to lose him when you really wanted more time to be with him. You were a rock for him. You cared for him and loved him as only a daughter could. He loved you Chel and I know he treasured the time you spent with him helping him get through it until the end - feeling the love you had for him. I spent some time with the family this week and heard some funny and sad stories on the life of Robert Gray. We laughed and cried and I can only say, he enjoyed life to the fullest in the way that made him happy. I am here for you Chel and love you and pray for my friend to return soon to the happy and outoging womand she is knowing her daddy is okay and in a better place.

Love you,
Debbie
