RIP Uncle Robert, it has been a long battle but you were always smiling everytime I seen you. Your arms was always wide open with the biggest hugs and nice words. I wish I could have seen you before God took you to be with the rest of the family but I am glad that my last memories of you was with a smile on your face even though it was a rough day for you in more ways than one...your health and the loss of one of your brothers. I will always cherish the loving memories I have of you. I love ya, Paula.
