    Brother Robert was one of the most kind and loving men that I have ever been blessed to know. He always made me and others feel loved and appreciated. I loved seeing his heart for the Lord and the way he enthusiastically worshipped the Lord. I greatly miss seeing his smile and the wonderful hug and greeting. He was my older brother in the Lord and a great example of what a man of God should be.
    Sister Joyce, you are in so many prayers. May God comfort you, give you peace, and wrap you in His love! You are greatly loved! I know that Brother Robert in rejoicing in Heaven. He is now part of the great cloud of witnesses that is cheering us on from Heaven. I look forward to seeing Brother Robert again in Heaven one day when those of us who know and love Jesus, will all be reunited again. What a day of rejoicing that will be!
