My heartfelt condolences to Millie, Lorna the entire family. I knew the Blondets from St. Sabina. Robert & I used to cook for the youth ministry when they were on retreats & events. He was a great man of God. They were a wonderful couple. May God comfort the family and give you peace.

Dear Millie and Family, Know that we are praying for all of you, how God can comfort you I really don't know I just know he can. Robert was an awesome man of God and he was so easy to get along with and talk to. Many times I would call and ask for Millie and she would not be there and Robert and I would talk for quite some time, once it was two hours. I know your hearts are broken and that you will miss him desperatley, but the good in this is that he is in the arms of Jesus, whole and healthy.
