KJV 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

He is in the presence of God; in the arms of Jesus; No more suffering and no more pain

My prayers are with you all.

Praying and thinking of all Roberts family today. So sorry for your loss. Especially Brenda ,she and Robert always had a special bond. June, my best friend ever, I think of you often and hope you are doing good. Also Kathy, Clarence and Donnie. And I know his children miss him already. Will always remember the good times when I lived with Robert and Linda. So glad to hear he is a Christian and is in heaven now.

After 8 years of marriage and a divorce, I still cant say anything bad about Robert. He made mistakes but, we all do. He wanted to be happy but, we all do. He was confused about where to find happiness, but that still didn’t mean he was mean, hurtful or spiteful. He just didn’t have that in him. He was always a good provider, a great tool and die maker, a good daddy and had lots of friends. Our house was always filled with cousins and friends, sharing a drink, sharing a meal, sharing a laugh or playing cards. It makes me sad that he finally got to home just not the way everyone hoped. Robert deserved to have several years of peace and quiet and family. I think he would have finally found that peace and happiness on the farm. But there is no doubt in my mind that he has found it now, back in the arms of his mama. And he has left his family here feeling sad for themselves because they wanted to share that happiness with him.
But don’t be sad for him……

Robert was my
Brother in law for a few years and I have always continued to think of him as such. He was always kind to me and we had a fun time when I was a kid staying
With him and Linda. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.
