To all of the Stewart family, I am so sorry for your loss here on earth but with the promise from God , you will get to see and be with him again ……I loved your family as I was growing up with y’all and will remember y’all forever…..we did have a lot of fun …..
When I think of Robert (and he was my cousin) I think of Walnut Hill Fire Dept. He and Diann made that Fire Dept. what it is today. I know he is in a place without pain or suffering now and God Bless his wonderful family.
