Robert helped us start our program. Whenever a new challenge arose, he met it with such positivity. His thinking was solution-based and he always found a way to meet that challenge. His gentleness and grace under pressure were so calming and soothing. I am privileged to have known and worked with him. He is fully restored in heaven. My condolences to his parents. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that Robert was truly a follower of Jesus and walked the path every day until it took him home to glory.

We have missed Robert since he was admitted to UAMS. He was a very compassionate person, and a Good Samaritan. God blessed us by letting him come into our lives for awhile. We feel your loss and will continue to pray for all of you.
