Saying goodbye to your eternal companion is so difficult and heartbreaking. Thank goodness we have the knowledge that we will be together again someday and never separated as a couple again. Gail was such a kind man and so patient with Robert. He loved his family so much and it showed. He will always be remembered for his strong testimony of the Gospel and his service to others. Hugs and prayers as you navigate through the grieving process. We love you Myrna. Love Rhonda & Brian Jacobson
