My thoughts & prayers have been with you since I received the word.



I met your father a few times many years ago. I remember him at the river and how he was. I know he made a difference in this world.

Dear Priscilla and Family,



This is Jan and I'm a massage therapist at the Calla Lily Spa in Afton. I've worked with Robert for the past few years. Every Saturday, without fail, he would show up at the Calla Lily. He was able to happily accept any treatment offered, with the words "you're the therapist".

I know the last few months were difficult for Robert, but like the trooper he is, he decided to continue his weekly visits. I am grateful for his loyal patronage and proud to call him my friend. I'll miss his presence in my life.
