I am so sorry to hear about Robert’s passing. May God hold you in His arms and comfort you to know he is reunited with his beloved wife.
GOD received another Angel, I am sorry that your Dad was taken so soon but he is now with your Momma, he has no more pain and is happy to be reunited with his forever soul mate.
I Love You,
Aunt Rena
Thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss
I went to school from kindergarten to senior year. Robert was such a gentle soul! Bless his heart!
Sad to see you leave the physical world. Your giggles and sweet smiles will be my fondest memories of you. My heart is somewhat at ease knowing you are back with your truest love, Jackie. I can already picture you all back together in spirit watching over all of us kids. I know you had so many ready to welcome you to heaven with open arms. You will be missed, thank you for your kindness and love.
Dear family
So sorry to hear about Robert. His sister Linda was in my grade and I played often at their house. He was a very nice guy. RIP Robert.
My thoughts are with Robert’s family. It is so painful to lose someone, yet no one else can really know all that you feel except our Heavenly Father. He knows and feels your pain. He calls death an enemy and promises to remove it forever, Isaiah 25:8 “And he will swallow up death forever…” He also promised to wake up all our loved ones, in the memorial tombs, from death (Isaiah 26:19). What joy it will be to see our loved ones again and to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16). I hope these words give all of you comfort.
Dear family
My condolences to your family. Roberts sister Linda was on my grade. I played many times at their house. He was a very kind guy. RIP Robert.
