the Rhodes Family: you will always be in my heart. Since I was a younger girl and Robert was our musican for the Inspirational Choir. I always adored him and his family. Looking at that family and that structure when I was younger always made me want to have that same bond with my family. Yall just keep the faith. And as I sitting here sending you this I feel I can still here his voice. And as Robert always said "Bless you Bless your Heart." Those words will always be in my head.

I love you all and god is going to get you through this. Robert will be well missed.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

Robert's steps were generous, kind, giving, and helpful wherever he walked, and he walked with a smile.
