Hi Abbie, I’ve been awake since 3:00 am. Started thinking of you and my mom (Reba) your sister. You and my mom were miracles (Angels) on earth. You both accomplished far more than doctors said was possible. My mom even had children which they said was impossible. To have gone through so much at very young ages and grew up to be two of the most comforting people on earth is amazing. I’m so honored to have been in your lives. I will miss you both. Love,Rob.

LOVED MY BROTHER..

Met him as he greeted the many who entered the doors of Walmart. He was a gentleman, always with an encouraging word and extended conversation which would cover a variety of topics, not to mention the deeper spiritual discussions we would have. He so loved and spoke often of his family. I am sure all who knew him will miss him and his smile and twinkle in his eye. Mr. Al, enjoy greeting all those you are meeting in heaven. Blessings of peace and comfort to friends and family!
