I pray and know that God will be with you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I pray even in this time that God will give you peace. Robert and I had twice been co-workers, but also had a great friend ship which spanned over many years.

To the Hicks Family,
So sorry to hear about Robert, who was one of the Linden Avenue family. A dear-hearted name we called ourselves from families growing up on Linden Avenue in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Robert was always so nice to hear from and respectful when we would run into each other from time to time. Because we grew up next door to each other and knew each other families, we would go down the list of family members names and asking about how they were doing
He was one of the first neighbors to stop by our house when we moved on Linden.
He will be sadly missed.
May God continue to bless each of you during this difficult time.
