Palma,
It is with the deepest sympathy that I send this message. When our children grew up together, I had no idea that Robert was going to be my spiritual mentor. He was truly an authentic man that was unapologetic with regard to his faith and family. I pray that peace and comfort surround you and the family. Much love. Shelia
