Dear Leslie, we were so sorry to hear about Robert, his sudden passing is hard to comprehend, and our hearts go out to you. Robert was such a great family man and you meant the world to him. His smile was wide and genuine, and he clearly loved everything about his world - you, his children and grandchildren, and of course the farm and Tarn. Take good care, sending you our love and lots of hugs.
Graeme, Kay and Shirleigh Donehue (Australia)
