Mr. Robert’s presence will be missed on our neighborhood street. It was a delight to talk with him as his caretaker would be taking him for a walk on sunny days. My sincere condolences to Ms. Judy, his family, and friends. May God comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.
Thank you. He enjoyed those little walks. Will miss him dearly.
Bill and all the Family; My love and prayers are with each of you during this time of loss and sorrow.
Liz & Family – my heart breaks for you. May you find peace and comfort in your precious memories.
