wende and family, I am so sorry for your sudden loss. You will all remain in my prayers.
I will sure miss Robert. He always made me smile and laugh at work. (Ht 102) I will always remember him asking me if I wanted a green card and if I’d broom his house. Rest in peace
Prayers and strength during this time of sorrow.
To Robert’s family, I was truly sad to hear that Robert had passed. I hope that thinking about all the good memories you shared will help to ease your loss.
Sending prayers to family and friends I met Robert when I started work at HT 102….he was such a character! Always joking around and always telling me to be sure I gave him his HT points on his customer card! He would come in when we were stressed and slammed with work and make us laugh! I will miss him very much!
Wende and family. Thinking of you all. So sorry for your loss.
