    It’s really hard to believe how fast God works sometimes. You came over several times after I lost Mike. It was a blessing from God when I felt I was so alone. I love you and please let all our family how much I miss them. We will all meet again in God’s plan

    We met Robert at Ebel’s. He always talked to us about cars, music, & his family. He was a very nice man. I can’t believe he is gone so suddenly.
