Donna & Family: We are so sorry to hear about Rob. When someone you love is taken from you so suddenly, there is nothing anyone can say to take the pain away. Just keep his memories in your heart and he will always be with you. He's gone to fly with the angels and watch out for each and every one of you. Now is the time that you need to lean on your family and friends for support, comfort and love. And they will all be there for you. Please know that you are all in our thoughts as you say goodbye to your husband/father, and I say goodbye to my cousin. I'm sure Uncle Jim and Aunt Alma will take very good care of him for you! God Bless!
