Rest in Peace Robert

I apologize for not updating this before now. But given the circumstances, I think you all can understand. I don't really remember anything from before we found out about Robert so forgive me for not having more details. The past couple of weeks have just been kind of a blur.

My heart continues to break for the Moss family. They lost a very precious member of their family. Having to go through something as heartbreaking as this makes you put different parts of your life into perspective. For instance, the relationship I had with the Moss family has gotten stronger. I truly love that family and only hope that our relationship will get stronger with time.

I didn't know Robert that well but from the times I spent with him, I knew enough to know that he was a great, smart and funny guy that had everything going for him. He would always find the positive in situations and he was always the one that could make you laugh. He loved music and playing his drums at all hours.

What I knew the most about him was the love he had for his family and especially his niece and nephew. He had so much love for them and you could see it in his eyes whenever they were around. And they loved him. Two of my most treasured memories of him with Kyan was when he sat Kyan on his lap and let him play the drums and when he danced with Kyan to "Mama Mia." And the first time he met Kenna, there was no doubt that she had won him over. He had such a big heart for these children.

My dear friend, Barbie, gave me a quote that I hold close to my heart; "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal." There is nothing I or anyone else can say to heal the wounds on the hearts of the Moss family but they are strong in their faith and I know God will provide them with the care and love they need. During difficult times I look to my favorite bible verse and I was able to share this with Susan during their difficult time; "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10a

My deep and sincere thanks go to all who shared sympathies, flowers, encouragement and prayers to the Moss family. The outpouring of love truly warmed their hearts. I will not begin to explain how they are feeling but I do know that having all the support helped and is continuing to help them.

Please continue to keep the family in your prayers as they take their time to heal. Also, please keep Chase in a special place in your prayers. This has been a little more difficult for him because we live so far away. He can't be with his family during this time and that on top of everything else has just been difficult. So please keep that in your prayers as well as healing for the entire Moss family. God bless all of you. Love to all.
