Robert's wife posting
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2026 10:52 am
I just wanted to say thank you for the cards and flowers and gifts, we have received they mean a lot to us.
Robert and I had bought life insurance 20 ish years ago. We kept the account at the bank open all this time to keep the policy. They had apparently sent Robert papers to "renew" it. Only they changed it, they went from any type of death to just accidental. I know it was different due to having made him get the policy when he donated his kidney. I know he believed it was the same as we had just talked about adding a policy for both of us and he talked me out of it insisting this policy was good. My husband didn't lie one of the things that really irate him were liars..
My daughter is creating a go-fund me page, we hate to ask for anything. Robert was a very proud man in his humbleness. Taking care of his family was important to him. He would absolutely hate this for us and for me having to ask anyone for anything.
However with having to pay for two funerals, I don't have a choice.
I completely understand if you can not help out.
If you are able to do so any amount will help us.
WE took a pretty big hit on the house due to having to pay the montage for 16 months of it being for sale and then we took a lot less for it. We thought we had this year to put into our retirement but that is at a 0 at this time. We have no saving anymore either.
I have his SSI but that is it. It isn't enough to cover the bills. My daughter is here and will help with getting me to Doctor appointments. My health has taken a nose dive since his death. My kidney function is now at 50% from 79% last time it was checked. My liver levels are also very high. I do have a cat scan on Wed to hopefully find out more.
Again please if you do not have the $$ to help out, you can pray for, prayers are everything to our family right now.
If you can help out that would be great.
God is going to provide one way or the other. I still have my faith and my God.
If you want to send directly and not to gofundme. Robert didn't like the GoFUndMe because they took so much of the money donated. Feel free to send to us, us is my special needs 18 year old lives with me. He had an on and off again job but lost it right after his Daddy died.
My address is 605 E Lamar St. Palestine Texas 75801
Cashapp is $Smartz61
It is very humbling to have to ask.. Thank you for whatever you can do again prayers are much needed.
We do plan to keep MennoNet going. Until someone would like to take it and you all agree to that. We aren't going to just shut it off. Robert loved this group, we want to honor his memory. Thank you and God bless you.
