Robbie, You will forever be in our hearts. I have so many fond and funny memories of you. Losing you has left a void that is too big to fill. We just have the comfort of knowing that you are watching over us all and no longer hurt. We have the comfort of knowing that we will see you again. Pinky promise.
I am so sorry that you had to leave us. You are loved and always will be. That will not end. The memories made will also stay with us (though in my case, they may come and go!lol) All of your family will be hurting for a long time to come. Love you Robbie!
Aunt Vicki
Robbie,
This just seems so unreal. I think I’m still in shock. I can not wrap my head around you being gone. I have such warm and wonderful memories of you when we were little. Every Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter spent at Gramma and Papa’s house with all of our cousins. Pushing each other in the dune buggy and you calling my mom “Aunt Mommy Joyce”. You were the sweetest little boy. I hate that we lived so far apart for so long and we missed out on a million more memories together. You will forever be in my heart and our family will forever miss your beautiful smile and great sense of humor. You were a great cousin with a beautiful heart and spirit. I will miss you. Rest in Peace sweet cousin.
Love, Amy
This is so surreal..Im still in shock with the news. I cant believe you are gone. You were a really great friend to me, like a big brother. You were always there for me. Im so lucky to have known you. You will always be in my heart and memories. I wish I could have said goodbye..
Rest peacefully Red..I will never forget you!
I’m having a hard time believing he’s gone. Years ago we had a great adventure together, he was my teacher and lover..it was a different time. I regret not keeping in touch with him- that regret will keep with me until i die.
I remember being little and laying on the trampoline in the front yard with you. We would just lay there and look at the sky. You would tell me about your life back home and what it was like to go to a school you hated with people that didnt understand you. Because of our age gap I usually only understood most of your incredible vocabulary but you would just smile and explain. I would tell you what it was like to be me and you always made me feel accepted. I could tell you anything and I always did. Every holiday I couldnt wait for you to come down! As the years went by, our visits became less and less. We missed so much of eachother’s lives but everytime we would see eachother again it was as if no time had passed. Robbie I hold so many beautiful memories of you and I still cant believe your gone. I cant believe you wont be there when the next big event happens in our family. There will forever be a huge part missing in our family that will never go away! I love you so much! Kiss Gramma, Papa,Don, Aunt Doris and Thomas for us and hopefully we will see you all again some day.
Uncle Robbie.
I miss you more and more everyday , but I know you would want me to keep on going and keep my head up. I will never forget every moment I spent with you. The last few days I got to spend with may have been the saddest, but they will be in my heart forever. I love you to the moon and back! Keep watching over us , and give papa t a hug from me.
BABY BOY, NOW YOU ARE IN GODS ARMS. SAY HI TO GRAMMA AND PAPA, AND GRANNY.
ROBBIE, NOW YOU ARE NOT IN PAIN. GIVE GRAMMA, PAPA, GRANNY AND ALL HE UNCLE AND AUNTS A BIG HUG FOR ME.
MY GRANDSON, THOMAS WILL BE HAPPY TO HANG OUT WITH YOU. IF HE IS ANYTHING LIKE HIS DADDY, GREG, HE WILL LIKE TO TEASE A LOT. SO THE TWO OF YOU SHOULD HAVE LOTS OF FUN TOGETHER.
We miss you Robbie. I wish we had the opportunity to get to know each other better. You are loved and cherished.
I will see you in Gloryland!
Hugs to all.
Love from our family to yours.
It has been a month since you left us. The pain and sadness is still so real and raw. All we can do is wish that you are in a better place and have it better than you did here with us. I know it is selfish but I wish you were still here laughing and joking and being my best friend. I miss our games of “thats not creepy” no one will ever be able to play that game with me on the level you did! I love you little brother and wish I told you more. Please send me signs to let me know you are watching over us and ok. Give Nana and Gramma and Papa and Dad a big hug for me. I love you forever and ever. You made a difference in all our lives just by being here.
Little Robbie. I can’t believe you are gone. I will always remember you as that cute little boy with bronzed skin because you were always running around outside. You were always giggling with the cutest smile ever and enjoyed “getting in the way” of us grumpy teenagers.
Will miss you buddy. Love you forever.
Its been 2 months since you left us. It still doesnt seem real. I cannot believe still that you are not a phone call away. We all miss you so much. I think of you everyday. I still remember our last words, and brushing your hair and talking with you and then watching you sleep. I wish I had a magic wand to bring you back, healthy and happy. Please continue to watch over us and give us signs and guidance.. I love you Robbo Bobbo..
I missed you on your birthday. I hope that heaven throws a great party. I still have a hard time believing you are not here . I know you are watching over us all and are still with us. I love you little brother and think of you every day.
