Robert and I grew up together as kids in our rural Webb community.As too often happens, we lost touch as adults. I’m so happy to see that he led a productive life, was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. I’m not surprised because I knew he would become a wonderful man. He made our world a better place. My heart is heavy as I grieve the loss of my childhood friend. Peace to you and those who loved him. Judy
Joy, so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that I’m praying for you and your family.
