Unfortunately, it's come time to close this book, but never the memory of your smile, hugz and kissez, your silliness, your sweet disposition, your loving heart. All of that and everything you had to offer us here on Earth is awaiting our arrival to the Heavenly Golden Gates...
See you there baby boy!
Our Love is never forgotten or missed....it's with you ever day and everywhere you will ever go. God has given us that gift that no man can ever take away.....

I miss you Shake!! ='( I think about you a lot. Sometimes I come on here and I dont even know what to write or what to say anymore. Everytime I think of you is like Im talking to you. So you know already what I want to say and what I feel. I still wonder if your watching over me or if your out being an Angel in someone elses life. I even wonder if your back on earth and where....what shape have you taken now, who is the lucky one to cary your soul back to earth. I feel so lucky that I can still remember your smile and the way you sound when you laugh. If I think hard enough I can feel you wrap your arms around me for a hug. I miss you....I miss you....I miss you....

Robert was someone who was like a brother to me. I rememder when Robert and his mom and brother Sondie and Deionte had to come live with us in our house. Man those were the days yeah Robert was a little crazy at times but we all loved him for who he was and thats all that matters. Soon Robert moved out and grew up. We didnt see each other everyday but the last day I saw him was on his birthday and he got that big jacket from Demo. He was like the best friend I had and it was sad to see him go away. I hope he rest in peace. I miss you Robert.
Your memory will be loved and honored!

Robert...my baby boy!
Well it's your 1 year anniversary. There has not yet a day gone by that I wasn't wishing you were still here, rapping, laughing that goofy wonderful laugh, smiling, playing football (were you belonged!). You'll be excited to know that DeionTe' has truly turned into "YOU"! The way your bodies are shaped, the way you stand with your butt cocked to the side...where you stand on the sideline during the games..as well as your love for the game. I have never seen anyone with as much passion as you had for the game of football. We will continue to carry on in football and life in your honor. I respect,love,honor and miss you greatly! There will never be another quite like you.
As you fly around the clouds
As you drift thru the skies....
We know we'll see you again one day...
So the tears I shall not cry.
If one happens to fall...
Your sweet name I shall call.
Robert, you were truly a great man..
but now, GOD has you in HIS hands.
We will not say good-bye....
We will see you again one day
Remember all of us here...
For "US" please pray!

My dearest baby boy!
It's been almost a year to the date that they took you away and you flew up to the stars. We think about you and miss you so much every single day.
I'm trying very hard in the deepest part of my heart and soul to forgive them but it's not easy. I want you back here with me but know it could never be. So I wait for the day that The Lord will bring us together again. Then and only then will it be a joyous day for all of the Angels to sing.
~~~~ WE LOVE YOU ~~~~
Love 4ever and an eternity,
XOXOXOXO

and birth and death are no more. When in inner union he is

of the Spirit, is found, where the power of the All is, and man
has all: for he is one with the ONE."

Hey Sweetie,
In a few more days I wont be able to write to you here. But know that I still think of you and I pray for you and your loved ones. I miss hearing your voice and all the little stories you told. Its still unreal that you are gone =(
I will never tire of appolagizing, you, God and I know why. My last memory of you is fond. You were smiling and wished me a Good Night. That night was a good night, untill I heard what had happened. Your home now and I know that one day we will see eachother again, but untill then, I will not stop looking at everyface and every ride---you know what I mean------
I remember watching on TV once that everyone has a guardian angel...or angels who follow them everywhere. We dont get to choose/pick who we want over our shoulders watching us. But, I pray that you are one of mine. I feel realy selfish sometimes....I get so mad and angry at everyone. And I keep wishing that I could see you one last time, just for a minute so that I can tell you everything I wish I could have told you before. I wish I could hug you one last time. And then I think of how many people wish for that same thing. Your mom is such a strong person...Ive never met anyone with such determination and strength to move forward. And I wonder..."If his MOM can keep herself together so well...why cant I" I just wanna know that you forgive me. I keep this to myself now. I rarely talk to anyone about how I feel. But you know.....you know I pray for you...you know I talk to you...you know how I feel.
You were such an inspiration to others....and you never thought twice about helping others in need. I will do the same for you.....I miss you Shake....Im sorry =`(

It was always sooo easy to talk to you and you always knew the right thing to say when someone was feeling down. I just want to say that you have touched sooo many hearts and you will forever be in our hearts. I knew I have been blessed to have had met you and to feel like you were part of my family. Thank you for all that you have done and for making my sister shine with happiness. I Love You and you will be missed but never forgotten. Rest In Peace, my brother.

I dedicate this to you Auntie Sondra, You are my inspiration!
"Praise And Love For You"
I have watched you over the years as you struggle and drag your way through a day...
I have seen you with the weight of the family and life's cruel ways fast at your back while you call forth wishful dreams to quiet the tears from your eyes.
I have heard you singing on the edge of a nights dream as you pass your heart felt feelings to those in need, and as you recharge us with your smile and soft spoken words.
I have wondered with my eyes open wide and full fo glee as I say on to thee, what a woman my sister must be as she moves with great strength through earth's fog with such grace amidst the rain and urge us all to take onto another day.
...and although I can't carry a tune, I want to sing with you a simple duet with quiet echoes telling of love and deep emotions that spirit your fears away and calm the painful nights.
All this I say before you, to let you know dear sister, you are here on God's Earth for those who love you and need to hold you near.

They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I just might be going crazy....but if thats the case, then let it be...I hear you, I feel you. And when we meet again...Ill make sure to bring you a Carne Azada Quesadilla or a Burrito (which ever one you want) with no beans or salsa, a root beer light on the ice.....=)
Baby blue with shades of white....Ill never forget that night.
I didnt wright this poem....but it suits you well.....
I will not stand at your grave and weep,
You are not there, You do not sleep.
You are a thousand winds that blow.
You are the diamond glint on snow.
You are the sunlight on ripened grain.
You are the gentle autumn rain.
When I wake in the morning hush,
You are the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
You are the soft starlight at night.
I will not stand at youre grave and weep.
You are not there, You do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)
God holds you in His hands....how lucky can you get!! I'll c u soon =)

i cant belive youre gone man. we was boys since i was 7 years old. you put me on to everything. you were one of the few people who believed i would be something. you looked out for me so many times. and i love you for that man. you were like my older brother. i'ma miss you man. i couldnt make it to your funeral. i really couldnt see you like that. i still cant take it. i just catch myself saying "man my homie is gone" i cried when i got the news man. you were a true friend. i know you didnt want this. i remember when i moved to san diego and you were happy for me cause i was living my life away from trouble. you was my man, i really miss you, but i know you resting in peace.

My son, My baby, MY ANGEL!!!!
It's been more than 2 weeks now and it's still not real to me. I still look at the front door sometimes wishing and praying you would just walk through it. I know that won't happen. I just was hoping this was a really long bad bad nightmare that would end.
Your love, laughter, warm smile, intelligence, wit, character, charisma, generous, big-heart, talented, caring, sharing, giving ways shall never ever be forgotten. You touched all of our lives and our hearts,but best of all....you are a part of our SOULS!
I thank GOD for the wonderful 22 yrs he has given me with you. I feel it's not enough but GOD had other plans.
You grew from a sweet beautiful Gift from God as a baby into the wonderful man that we all know and love. Your spirit will live on in us all as the young, vibrant, talented man you are known to be.
We will DEFINATELY meet again. I don't know how soon or how long but I do know that it will happen and when I get there I expect to see you waiting at those pearly gates...arms opened wide to give me another one of those big bear hugs and kiss me on the cheek and hear you once again say "I LOVE YOU MAMA!" (I miss those...)

I know your watching over all of us, and with that you know that I still mourn for you. I am not trying to disturb your peace, and I pray that my tears dont disturb, but I cant help it. You are missed greatly!!! =/

It feels like it was just the other day when my son was hanging out with Robert on 4th of July. Robert was playing like a big kid, running up and down the street, lighting fireworks with all the kids much younger. Robert you will be missed!!! Johnathan and myself will always make sure every 4th there is a big BOOM in you honor.

To the family and friends of Robert Hawkins. Although I only knew him a few years, he touched my heart and many others at Greenville. We have lots of fun stories about Robert during those years at Greenville that the staff have told and retold. He was that special student that you remembered, not because he got in trouble occasionally...but because he was sweet, kind, gentle, smart, and funny. We also appreciated all the support from Sondra as she understood his needs and ours. We will never forget him. M.Champion

Robert,
What can I say? Things will never be the same. All I have now is great memories of you and the times your smile put a smile to my face. I never met a more happier, thankful, friendly person like you. Words can not describe the wonderful person that you once were. You will forever be in my heart.
"Rest In Peace"

Dearest Sondra,
Although I wrote our condolences on the 17th, I feel compelled to let you know how very beautiful the service was Saturday. I loved the Pastor calling all the "Valley High School" family up to show their love for Robert and one another. That was very special. Bob & I were there (standing in the back) because there were SO MANY people that loved Robert & you that we couldn't all fit in the Chapel. Coach Leyva walked in with us but he was overwhelmed by the crowd. I'm not even sure he had a chance to sign the guest book but I wanted you to know he was there. We can relate to your loss in the smallest way because Robert was our boy too. Even though we haven't seen him since he graduated from Valley, seeing him through all 4 years of h.s. playing so hard on the football team made him ours. Brett kept in touch with him and Larry and we were always "posted" on how they were. We just want you to know how much we remember not only about you, Robert, and your brothers but about your dear Mother and all the love she passed to you and you are still passing that love on. Thinking of you often.
This is the way we will always remember you, Robert. Love always, Uncle Sean, Auntie Yumi, and Cousins Sho, Micaiah, and Mackenzie.

Dearest Robert - We'll miss the twinkle in your eye, the grandeur of your smile, and the genuine sweetness in your heart. It's never goodbye...it's see you later. But until then, we'll miss you. Love always, Uncle Sean, Auntie Yumi, and Cousins Sho, Micaiah, and Mackenzie.

I love you Sondra and you and Robert have always been in my heart. I will always remember the little kid with the glasses that always wanted to follow me and Troy around. I loved Robert and how I remember him. He was a special gift from God. I know that he touched the lives of many people with the smile and his truly kind heart. I will be in prayer for you and your entire family. Although I am far away in distance I am very close in the Holy Spirit. Even though we will all miss him, and we will, remeber that he is truly in a truly place where there is not hurt, sorrow, or pain. Sondra remember that your are greatly loved for the wonderful mother that you are, Keep your head to the sky. I love you and miss you and Robert dearly. With love the of Jesus Christ and the Father.
