I’m so sorry for your loss Thurston family. My heart is broken and I feel so helpless. I wish I could be there with you today to show my love and support. Growing up with all of you as a second family was always an adventure and having Robin by my side all these years has been a blessing. Your dad loved to tease me as often as he could, he always made me feel welcome, included and loved. Take comfort in the fact that he is now at peace and is no longer suffering or in pain.
