See Condolences

Robbie, Sorry to hear of your Dads passing. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Wayne

Rob, we only know each other casually through volleyball but having lost both my mom and dad over 11 years ago I know how difficult it can be at this time of mourning. I pray God is upon both you and your moms hearts and know that through His comfort you will get through this difficult time. Be blessed in His goodness and may your dads memories always bring a warmth to your heart and a smile to your face.
