Our dear friend Rob went to be with the Lord yesterday afternoon. Greg and I are devastated. Neither of us can fathom the fact that it is really true.
2 Corinthians 5:8 says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rob's body was so broken and I know he is now cheerfully whole with the Lord. I think the angels are rejoicing to have him home.
Please pray for his family, for his wife, his children, his mother and all those who have been touched by his life. I sit totally in numb of this loss.
Rob you fought the good fight, you finished the race, you kept the faith (paraphrase 2 Timothy 4:7) rest in peace my friend.

I have been following the strength of your friend and I admire her in the journey with her dear Rob. I am truly sorry for the loss you all must be feeling now. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Our love to all.
My thoughts and prayers are with them and you. I'm so sorry Heather, I will be praying!
It seems so sureal, doesn't it? Rob was such a great man, a dedicated husband and a truly remarkable father. My heart breaks for his family. I feel so lucky to have known him...
Wish you were closeby so we could down a bottle of wine- or two.
Joe and I are heartbroken. Our prayers are with his wonderful family. What a brave and honorable man..
Very nicely put Heather. Rob was a wonderful American hero. We just have to continue to pray for Dena and the girls so they can be strong through this.
