			Stephen has written to let me know. 
 
I have suggested to Stephen that the folliwing words might be appropriate: 
 
"Robert had many friends that he never knew. His gentleness of spirit delighted those whose lives he touched even slightly. He is missed worldwide."

			Thank you, Timmy, for those words - I am saying a few of my own at the funeral tomorrow and these shall be incorporated. 
 
The reason I am actually posting here, apart from being unable to contemplate even going to bed tonight, is to let all of you know that I have printed off each and every MB message and personal e-mail I have received since the death of Robert and had them all laminated.  I have had a two floral tributes made up - one says "The Scholar" the other "IOMFATS" and I am having those laminated messages pinned to those floral tributes. 
 
Why?  Two reasons.  One - because I wanted the few people who will be at his funeral to know that Robert had many friends who thought a great deal about him and two - because I wanted to.  I hope no one minds. 
 
Hugs to all 
Stephen

			My thoughts and prayers will be with you and him tomorow.
			
			
			
			
  
			 
			Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
