Robert, you are where all the rest of us are waiting to see... We all wonder what it is, how wonderful it will be... You got to beat the rest of us.... I know you are in heaven with all of our loved ones that went before us, so tell them all we love them and everyone loves you to....

To the family, I know it is really hard to loose someone you love so much, but as we all know he is much happier, healthy, and he will meet us there when it is our time to go to heaven.... Lossing someone you love is so hard, just look to Jesus and find comfort.... God Bless You All Sheila T
