Mr. and Mrs. Skidmore, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I loved Robert as I would a brother. Though it has been many years, and Robert's and my paths branched in opposing directions, I cannot help but join you in your sorrow. I wish I could have done more back then to assist him in his struggles. I must admit that my heart is heavy with each passing of those that graced my life, Robert included. He rests now and will struggle no more. God Bless You, Tom and Ricki. With Love, David
