I was at Robert niece funeral wearing a black mask last year. he came to me wanting to know me. I told him Helen Knight. he then asked whether I was related to the Knight around Fayette County. I told him Emmitt and Minnie Knight. He told me that I was right, we are family. I have seen him at his brother's funeral, I talked to him. God allowed me to see him one last time on this earth. He always showed himself friendly. I am so glad that I knew him.
We are so incredibly sorry to hear the news of Robert's passing. We'll always remember his kindness and ability to make us laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this incredibly difficult time. With Deepest Sympathy, TLC Team (including 2 of his former BPI co-workers)
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
