My son I miss you so very much. My heart cries everyday and the hurt never stops. I do not want to let you go ever. I also do not want to keep you from resting in heavenly peace so I'm still trying to figure out how to get through this. I love Berlyn so much and I see you in her so much that I have to laugh! She brings you up in her stories, and thinks of funny things and sometimes she makes herself laugh. She like to laugh, as you did. As promised I'll make sure she is taken care of as much as possible, for the rest of my life. Rest assured she is very loved and you are in her heart. You are in all of our hearts. I'm sorry this has taken so long, I couldn't do this before. With all my love, mom. 

He was/is the love of my life.  Never did I think in a million years that he would one day suffer so greatly and then leave this earthly realm. Our daughter looks exactly like him in many pictures I've seen when he was a little boy.  She's the last living piece of him left, abd it's an ache in my heart that I don't know will ever stop hurting. I fell in love with him the minute I met him in 2012. We were friends for a long time before we got together and that's the man I remember falling in with. His kindness, generosity, honesty and sense of humor is what I noticed immediately about him. That, and his Mohawk, which was the best in the tri-county area, it was the stuff of legends. His musical talent and ability to sing was another gift he had given and I miss the many hours we would play our guitars and record our songs singing together. We went to shows, we went out on our anniversary and we celebrated holidays and our birthdays, which were a week apart.  

Then one day he started to give up on the things he once loved so much, and his health started to decline. The emptiness in his absence is vast, and the silence is deafening without the music playing . I will never love anyone else the way I loved Rob. I feel like a huge hole has been created in the center of my life now that he's gone forever. 

I met Rob through a mutual friend Migs. Rob had a big heart and was always fun to be around with. Hey Rob thanks for helping me Jumpstart my car and for offering me a ride when you saw me walking down Lampson. Rest Easy.

My heart is broken. There are no words to ease the pain that each one of us carry over the loss of Robbie. I pray that one day that our broken hearts are mended by the many memories of Robbie that we remember and share. 

I have as some of my fondest memories sitting in the backyard at the summertime horse shoe tournaments with Robbie, Jim and all the extended family and friends.

They live on as part of me and in all who’s lives they have touched.
