I came to know Robert as a baby(1 day old). He was the most loveable and sweetest child of his siblings. However, somewhat mischievous! Nevertheless, he was loved and I will truly miss him. He was my SON, and he saw me as a Mother figure, in his mind.

"Words cannot express how I feel at this time, but I do know, JOY cometh in the Morning!

Now, you rest in Purgatory, my SON; to get prepared for HEAVEN!

I have enjoyed knowing you and I LOVE YOU!

I still remember the heart and spirit of a very young child that was timid and somewhat shy. Yet sometimes the doors of life can appear to take away the most essential assets that GOD gives to us. But only for a moment, because when we have accepted JESUS Christ as our Lord and Savior, GOD will restore us with all that we have lost and even more. So weeping may endure for a moment, but joy cometh in the morning. And that right early. Also the peace that surpasses all understanding shall be yours if you would just hold on to GOD's unchanging hand. So be encouraged and know that JESUS cares !!!
