Linda, I was so sorry to hear about Roberts death. Karl and Donna sent me a text last night and I just saw it this morning. Robert always amazed me with how he dealt with his diabetes, such a terrible illness. Lana lost her grandmother to diabetes so we saw 1st hand how difficult life could be having to cope with it. Our hearts go out to you, Ben, Lauren, and all your family during this difficult time. Please know that you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
