Dear Aunt Thelma,
Dad (David) told us about Uncle Robert. I'm sorry to hear he has passed but know he has joined many others from our family already in heaven. I have fond memories of visiting with you all at grandaddys and at Shealys. I especially remember how much my brother Dave used to love to climb up in Roberts truck. :) Please know we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
