“To my family, Auntie Mary, Annie, Juanita, Calvin & the entire Berry & Daily Family I am so sorry for your loss/our loss- Robert will be truly missed and never forgotten. such a beautiful heart, It’s amazing how you can instantly sit back and remember the good, the bad the happy and the sad times when our loved ones have gone home with the Lord. Well I surely don’t remember anything bad about Robert. When I heard he was sick which was not long ago I felt sad for him, but I know that God never leaves us or forsakes us, everything is totally in his powerful hands. I remember when Auntie Carrie and I use to just hang out and Robert & Aunt Mary would say I was watching y’all you thought I did’t see you or I heard what you all were talking about (of course we thought they were being nosey at the time) He was indeed our Angel watching over our backs. I will cherish all the memories, when I told him one day no more drinking the bad stuff he just laughed and said that’s good Doris I am proud of you it made me feel really good. FAMILY My heart goes out to everyone TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!! Love you all! “
