I first saw Robert as an adorable 9 month old baby. Went to his wonderful high school graduation celebration party ( with great photo of him on view for the occasion). Have known of his progress through life as a young man via Marti's news. That great face and smile that made sunshine all on its own. The agonizing passing of Robert will never diminish the value of him as a person and memories will eventually conquer the initial misery that stole him from our world. Most fondly Sherrill

Marti, I never got to meet Robert but is is so obvious that he was loved by all. I'm sorry you are having to go through this but I know you believe in God and I know you know he will take care of him and you. Try to remember that Grandma's and Grandpa's are up there with him and he is not alone. You will see him again. Love and prayers to you all!
