    Well I would like to start by offering my deepest condolences to sister Candice. I am so so sorry to hear about this loss. I cannot even imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. I pray that God will continue to send angels of both peace and comfort to be at your side at all times of the day and night.

    Secondly I would like to talk about how much of an impact brother Rob had on me during the time that he attended New Hope. Bro Rob was a genuine inspiration to me. When he attended New Hope I was always genuinely happy to see him. He had such a kind and gentle energy that made it easy to not only talk to him but to just be around him. The way that he supported and took part of the kids ministry was always a joy to watch as well. He had the same passion to teach kids as his wife and if you know his wife, then you know that is quite the feat. Rob will be missed greatly by me and everyone that had the honor to be around him. I look forward to the day when I will see him again in heaven and we will both hear “well done my good and faithful servant”.

He arrived early to our wedding and stayed right by my husband’s side the entire time for moral support friendship and fellowship. That meant so much to us both. Love ya Robert you will be so very missed!
