The family and I have been overwhelmed and deeply moved by the thousands of e-mails, letters and calls we have received offering support and prayers for my Robert.
I knew he was loved by many, but words cannot express the emotion in my heart and my soul hearing your voices, and reading the stories of how he has touched your lives. I feel so blessed to be married to this very special man.
In my life, more often than not I have traveled that dark winding road but the idea of quitting never even entered my mind. Over the years Robert would often say "you are a strong broad" and although the past 25 days have been the most difficult, dark days I have ever endured he knows that I will never, never give up on him. And I know he is putting up the fight of his life because he wants to live for me and for his children.
He cannot respond but I know he hears me. I talk to him and I read him your letters and I tell him how people across the world have reached out to touch him with love.
Your prayers have been a song of encouragement and a shining light giving me strength to help him pull through this veil of darkness.
From me and his children Nikki, Michael, Christopher our heartfelt "Thank You."
There is phrase in MacArthur Park, one of the many songs Robert has sung that simply states:
"There will be another
Song for me
And I will sing it"
I truly believe he will.
