Ross and Meredith no doubt does the pain of losing a parent hit close to home. Your father was very extraordinary and many people not like him. Through fun and flaws, he was a good man.
I pray you have peace and comfort knowing your father loved you dearly. Remember those good times and know you will see him again. God bless you both Ross and Meredith.
Robert was my brother in law and I will always remember all of the great and lively conversations we had about everything! From nick names, to fishing stories and just his great sense of humor. He valued his family and his children so much and told me many times how fortunate he was to have such super stars! He will be greatly missed and I am so thankful for our good times and the memories that I will always cherish!
Condolences to the Brito family, God be with you in this difficult time. May he rest in eternal peace and love with our Lord.
