Our heart and prayers go out to the family. Robert seems to have been an especially wonderful being. I know there is nothing I can say or write that can take the pain away, just know that we are here for you, Mindi and Sam and can take the kids or drop by food at any time in the next few weeks to help you through this. I can't imagine what your family is going through right now. My hope is that you will find peace in the wonderful memories of "papa". Much Love, Sylvia, Steve, Andreah and Michael.
