In loving memory of my wonderful nephew Robert. I love and miss you always. So many things has happened since you left us, some good and some not so good. I often think about you, there are days I laugh and there are days I still cry. I thank God for all the good memories I have in my heart that I still cherish of you. Your big smile with your deep dimples often flash in my mind and that’s when my smile gets as big as yours as I remember. I will forever love you nephew. Love your aunt Cakes❤

Dougie.... 13 years later and I'm still at a loss for words. My heart has not healed. The pain has not subsided. Time definitely has NOT healed this wound. I still miss you more each day and this day right here is exceptionally hard. Some things you just DON'T get over. Thank God however for the memories!!! I love you with my life!

Dougie...I visit your page often though I sometimes may not write. It brings about a sense of peace reading what others write and just knowing that I have a place where I can go and there's noone there but you and I. My love for you is still as great as it was the day you were born. My heart is still broken. Tears are still endless. The pain is still overwhelming. I still don't understand why you. There is one good thing in the midst of all this pain though; it's a constant reminder of you in spite of the sad times and in remembrance of the good times. Your memory will forever live. I luv you with my life Dougie.

Dougie,
Can't believe it's been two years since my world came crumbling down. Seems like only yesterday we were all hanging out at Days Inn. My heart still aches the same. The void has not been filled. Anger still rises up every now and again. My world is still topsy-turvy. I'm still longing for you. I'm still trying to understand why you had to go. My happiness is still as far as the east is from the west because I don't have you to share it with. Dougie, no matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you. All of the family have come together on this bitter-sweet day to reminisce of all the joy and laughter you added to our lives. It behooves me to comprehend how one person can have such a tumultuous impact on so many. We miss you like crazy; ever since you've gone away; every hour, every day. We miss you. Continue enjoying your eternal rest. Until we meet again... "Peace and love" I'll see you on the other side.....Aunt Peach

Dougie,
While You’re Up There
While you’re up there in heaven enjoying your eternal peace
Not worrying, hurting, stressing, or even tired in the least
I need to ask something of you because for me it’s just too much
I’ve searched high and I’ve searched low for God’s healing touch
Please tell Him I really need His help in dealing with this loss
Since He called you home with Him my life is set on pause
I’m finding extreme difficulty in dealing with this pain
It hurts so bad and I’m so sad it’s driving me insane
My clothes are saturated from endless tears that flow
Whether at home sitting down or even on the go
So many things remind me of you and all the fun we had
First I’ll laugh, then I’ll cry, then I’ll get so mad
Tell Him I truly know that He made no mistake
But the pain that lies within my heart is a never-ending ache
I often sit and wonder why your time here was so short
One minute you were in your prime, next you had to abort
I feel I have no closure, didn’t even get to say goodbye
Punishing myself for not preparing, constantly asking why
The signs, they were all there, as sure as the sky is blue
My not having you in my life, NO WAY could that be true
There was no way on earth, someone so precious and so dear
Whom I cherished with all of my heart would one day not be here
I know you tried to tell me, in so many different ways
Your time left on earth was short and you had limited days
If I were to be honest with myself, you really made it plain
You said “Aunt Peach, I’m going to die,” the words never penetrated my brain
I had blocked the very thought, of my Dougie being taken away
And if I had any so say in the matter you’d still be here this day
But what was I really thinking, knowing God makes the final call
The ball was never in my court, I had no authority at all
Please, tell Jesus I’m tired of hurting, and don’t know how to deal
With the loss of you special nephew, the pain is so surreal
I’ve prayed and still I pray but it seems to no avail
If Jesus truly has heard my cries I simply cannot tell
Perhaps I have some anger and God can’t get through to me
And if that be the case, ask Him, what must I do to be free
Tell Him, I feel myself dying, and slipping away in the night
Want to see many more tomorrows, but haven’t the will to fight
If He would merely teach me to erase this pain at last
Perhaps I can live again and keep the hurt locked in the past
But until He mends my broken heart, I really must confess
My happiness on this earth is as the east is from the west
I will never forget you dear nephew, if I live a thousand years
My life will be topsy-turvy and I’ll cry inescapable tears
Please do me one last favor, though I know He’s well aware
Tell Jesus I’m longing for His presence, while you’re up there
"I'll see you on the other side"
Peace and love!!! Aunt Peach

To my nephew: I miss you so much. I couldn't begin to imagine how life would be without YOU here. I was so angry, hurt and torn apart. When Khadere called me and said aunt Cakes my dad told me to tell you he's going to the hospital. I said ok, tell him Im on MY way to the hospital too! Call my cell and let me know how he make out, when I'm done I'll be there. Aunt Peach called and said Cakes did you talk to Khadere? I said yeah! She said what did he say (not thinking anything) I said that Robert was going to the hospital. She said to me Cakes Robert's gone. I can't remember what happened after that, I called the house and told my kids, and said don't nobody say anything to Khalil (Hoping it wasn't true) as I rushed from the hospital, Khadere called my cell and right away I said hey baby are you alright, He said yeah! but I can heard it in his voice and he begin to tell me. As we both sat on the phone crying, He said aunt Cakes, where's Khalil? I said he's home, I'm on my way to him. He ask if he could be the one to tell Khalil, I said sure, I'll call you as soon as I get home to let you know I'm there and you can call Khalil back, and he did! O my what hurt is was to see Khalil so heartbroken, Khalil asked his brother alot of questions, they talked until it was just too hard to talk anymore. Khadere said Khalil are you alright? Khalil nodded as if his grieving brother could see him. But you know it is the almighty God who gives grace and have substained us all. It brings us great joy when we can reflect on such great memories of Robert D. Hill, the one we loved and miss so dear. And yes you are gone, but you will never be forgotton. Much Love

Wazzup Dougie????
Although I know you’re enjoying life not being in anymore pain and for sure things could get no better for you however I thought I’d share a little 411 with you. Your ace boon coo William is home and boy is he looking awesome. He’s home on an honorary discharge. Boy I’ll tell ya, just when I thought my life was hopeless, the brother walked out of my door. He surprised the life out of Jeremy and me. We were outside talking about him and low and behold he walked out of the door. We almost passed out. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. A void in my heart was finally filled. Of course no one can fill your shoes or remotely take your place but I’ll tell ya, having Jeremy, Trey and William together again has brought about joy unspeakable. It was a family reunion up in this piece. There were aunts, cousins, brothers, uncles, nephews, your one and only neice and no doubt your little sister Khadeja Aigner. Boy, you would have thought he was a celebrity the way we all just sat around in awe. He is so built and handsome and looks more like you than ever. We’ll be sure to surround him with this family’s love and help him to come to grips with your absence because anybody and everybody knows you two were not only brothers but best friends. Slowly, but surely some type of normalcy/stability is returning to this family. When your mom answered her phone, not in her wildest imagination would she have expected to hear Will’s voice on the other end of the phone. You better believe she flipped the script. It was a bitter-sweet moment for us all but to God and God alone be the glory for the things He and He alone has done. Free at last; free at last; thank God almighty he’s free at last! Hallelujah!!!!!!

Happy 30th Birthday Nephew
Wow! Today you would have been 30
You’d be so excited about your day
Rising up before the sun
Anxious to be on your way
You were like a child on Christmas Eve
Who couldn’t sleep at all
Cause you knew when the morning came
You’d be having yourself a ball
You would have made your phone calls
Like you did every year
As if your family didn’t know
Your special day was here
You’d be sure to call Sha’Mira
And then you’d call the twins
Laying them out for stealing your birthday
While awaiting the fun to begin
You’d be dressed in all your new gear
Smelling clean and looking fresh
This day was such a special day
So you wanted to look your best
Then that moment would come
When you’d knock on the door
Knowing that this birthday would be
Even better than the year before
You would get all kinds of presents
And cards with lots of money
Then you’d start to do your dance
And boy you were so funny
Your birthday had really begun
And it started with a shout
We’d talk and have lots of fun
And then we’d take you out
We’d go to your favorite restaurant
Which was Sharon Zhengs
You’d eat till you felt sick
But that didn’t mean a thing
You would eat so many crabs
Until they would run out
And when they brought out more
You’d say, “That’s what I’m talking bout”
We’d be the last family there
And we never seemed to tire
It couldn’t have been any better
Than being with the ones we admire
Oh my God those days
Are forever alive in our hearts
If God would grant us one more chance
We would start from start
Just one moment in time
An eternal memory
Hoping in vain that you were here
Is all this will ever be
Of course we’re gonna celebrate
On this exceptional day
It won’t be the same without you babe
We’ll do our best anyway
So happy birthday nephew
We know this one’s best
For now you’re with Jesus
And that’s total happiness
“We’ll see you on the other side”
Peace and love!!

Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you and I miss you.I'm at Aunt Cakes house looking at all your pictures on the wall, Aunt Cakes said I look like a little Robert. Daddy you will always be in my dreams and I will never forget you, even the time when you had to spank us I still love you, and daddy when I die I want to be with you. Love you so much, your son Ty Ty
September 4, 2009
My Nephew...My Love:You might think that I looked at you as "just my nephew", but you'd be wrong, because you're so much more than that. You've been my heart, my crab eating partner, my sneaker buyer, (lol)the great and dedicated dad of my neice and nephews and the person that kept me broke(haha) and so much more. You've been that strong and courageous man in your kids life, despite all that you were going through. You set an example of what it means to be caring,unselfish, and we will never forget it. On this special day, my love, you are sadly missed and loved unconditionally.ps. Ty said Happy Birthday Daddy, He's here with me I'm sure he will be writing once he get back to nana's house. Khalil had school today we didn't mention your birthday because we didn't want him to be in school all Much Love "Aunt Cakes"

My Nephew: I can't believe it's been a year since you left us, oh how time flies when you're having fun and when you're not. I know i'm late writing but this is hard for me to do, especially when you don't respond back! Robert it's been difficult for us not having you here, but God has smiled on us once again, and again he took us through. Your kids are growing up and looking more and more like you. Robert uncle Morris and I went to Stone mountain Ga. to visit with your mom, August 8th we stayed in Ga for a week and went to see other family members, we had such a wonderful time with your mom, we talked, we laughed and,cried, talking about the good old days. What a blessing it was. Your mom has alot of your pictures on her fireplace and boy did your smile light up the room, I seen you wink your eye at me (lol) I miss you so much nephew ,i'm crying now! But I know it's going to be alright. And with your birthday quickly approaching and you not being here doesn't make it any better. But you know Robert we still have your cousins birthday to celebrate on that day 9/4 Sha'Mira, keleb and kandace, oh yeah we are definitely having crabs......Your kids are in Tomsriver visiting with their nana, they talk about you so much, how they miss you, but you know we are all here for them. just like we were when you were here. So my nephew i'm gonna go now cuz the water has filled my eyes again and I can't see the keyboard anymore. Love you and misss you much. Aunt Cakes

Hi Daddy, First I want you to know that I LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!! I am doing a lot better in school, I'm trying out for football, basketball, and wrestling(hope I make the team). Oh daddy you might be made at me but I got a hair cut- before you say anything- it was my choice. I saved 2 braids, nana has 1 and she sending the other 1 to mom-mom. I really like my hair cut, everyone says I look just like you, that make me smile. Nana has the t-shirt with your picture on it hanging up on the wall and she made a book that I keep on my dresser, she talks to your picture everytime me and Tyty are bad. She says you are watching us. Is this true? Daddy i have to go cuz it's to hard for to keep writing it makes me sad..I LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU WHERE HERE WITH US!!!!!

Robert,
It's been a year since you departed but, to many it seems like yesterday. I know GOD knows what is best for us all, so I will trust that in my heart. I'm glad you are no longer suffering and in pain but, how I wish here you would have remained. You are greatly missed but your love lingers on. I thank God for the time he allowed and I thank you for the love and laughter you shared and left behind. Rest my cousin in the Father's everlasting arms.
God Bless,

August 10, 2009
It’s now a year since my life turned topsy-turvy ; three hundred sixty-five days to be exact. If it be true that time heals all wounds then let it also be known that time does indeed stand still. There’s no amount of pressure that can stop the bleeding in my heart. The sleepless nights have escaladed into an infinity of unwelcome anxiety. On 8/10/08, life as I knew it was changed in a moment; the twinkling of an eye. If only I could have better prepared for the tragedy of my Hurricane Katrina, with its mighty rushing winds and its immense and onerous flood waters which caused houses and even cities to crumble and disintegrate. The hearts of man failing them for fear! How do you cope with losing someone you’ve loved for so many years? I don’t know nephew, my life is stagnant. I can’t seem to move forward or backward. I’m so angry you’re no longer here. Life is an eternal challenge. Things are not going the way I anticipated or desired. Trying to maintain a strong bond between myself and your children is abstruse. There are multiple forces trying to infiltrate the very essence of our relationship. Of course I will never abandon that which was predestined before the earths foundation by the almighty Creator. You know, it’s most imperative for me to interact with your children because in them I see you. I see your traits, your characteristics, your fears, concern, securities, insecurities, love, strengths, passions, compassion, struggles, triumphs, pride, zeal, exuberance, determination, courage, humor, personality, etc. I see in Khadere an adolescent rising to maturity oblivious of what is to come. One whose experiences and exposure far exceed those of the average child. A combatant strapped and readily prepared to endure the challenges and blows this world will certainly bring; trusting that he is not alone and that constant intercession is made on his behalf. A wounded soldier who has learned to camouflage pain and maneuver through the ranks knowing that he is more than a conqueror; a soldier who shall not be greatly moved. He shall overcome evil with good. Though he may fall seven times, yet and still he’ll rise. He shall live and not die. I see in Khalil a resolute, balanced and unique individual possessing great inner strength. His inquisitions of life and its experiences is challenging to the very elite. A fighter whose competitive spirit will allow him to travel the universe notwithstanding seen and unseen dangers. His belief in a higher power dismantles all fears the opposition has set in motion to deter him from reaching his goals. Knowing that no weapon formed against him shall prosper enables him to persevere in the eye of a storm. An energetic, talented, courageous and gifted son of a warrior; a mighty man of valor. I see in Khareem the reincarnation of you. The spitting image of the one I adore. His savvy and charisma warms the heart of man. His philosophical demeanor produces thought provoking conversation. A theorist who steal away to ponder in solitude yet is cognizant that there is safety in numbers. This brave young warrior surrounds himself with strong, positive and audacious individuals. A colossus who stares adversity in the face. His delightful smile and pervasive laughter rejuvenates even the archaic. His zeal to triumph negativity will generate an irrefutable metamorphosis. Though many shall fall at his side no harm shall come nigh his dwelling. He shall seek and find; knock and doors shall open. Endowed with mustard seed faith he shall remove mountains. I see in Ty’Shon a butterfly desirous of rekindling with its cocoon. An introverted yet vigilant child not ignorant of his surroundings. A recluse separated by fear and insecurities of the world he has been birthed into. This innocent being finds no comfort in a world where violence is on a rampage and death is imminent. His beautiful spirit however will convert many hearts. Knowing that a soft word turns away wrath, he speaks only with wisdom and diligence. His warm and gentle touch will bring about healing and hope to the afflicted. He is as David was against Goliath; small in stature yet a mighty man of valor. He shall not elude trouble but set his face like a flint and battle it with an iron hand. With great courage and resolve shall he succeed. I see in him a leader of the Crème de la Crème; and a child shall lead them! For these reasons shall I continue my plight. I vow to love your children with every fiber of my being. I shall not wrong or mislead them. I shall be a pillar and a shoulder for them at all times. I’ll be sure that your legacy continues through them. I will forever make mention of you to them so that they will never forget you. I will cherish every moment I’m afforded to spend with them. Nephew, continue to watch over them from above and I’ll do likewise here. Until we meet again; peace and love. “I’ll see you on the other side.”

Dear Dad,
I am so sorry that you died. I wish you were alive right now so I can celebrate your birthday with you. I'm sorry that you had to miss my birthday and now I'm eight years old. Before you died I was trying to tell you that I wanted to get in the ambulance with you and Khadere so I could say goodbye one last time. Khadere got good grades on his report card. He got all A+s and B's. When he's with nanna he acts really good cause when we went to aunt Wynita's house he really showed nanna that he really wanted to stay. And by the way, Khadere has gotten really big. When ever Ty'Shon got in trouble he said he wanted to stay. Now Ty is doing good in school and he really listens to nanna. Khalil has gotten really smart in school but sometimes he just gets in trouble. Khalil is really working on his attitude. Munch is doing really good, she's about to go to school. Mommy is okay and doing good. Uncle William will be home in two weeks. I love you dad. I really miss you and I hope I get to write to you again. Love your son, Khareem Christopher Hill.

"Missin My Daddy"
Oh wat a void it was March 18th "My Birthday" not havin my dad here with me to celebrate my 9th birthday. I was hurt n torn. But Aunt Cakes n Uncle Morris stepped right in as they always did and made everything alright. My family called to wish me a "Happy Birthday" my mom, nana, mom-mom, brothers, aunts, uncles, cuzins n many many more. Oh how happy was I!!!! I got alot of nice presents from everyone, we topped it off by going to Red Lobster wit the family just as we would have did if daddy was here. But that one special voice and your presence was missing. All of a sudden I heard your voice whisper in my ear "Happy Birthday my son, I luv you n will 4 ever be wit you. When I looked and seen a portion of my family here with me I began to see the memory that daddy left me wit... Thanks Dad!!!!!

To Khalil: From (Daddy) Through Aunt Peach
I saw the letters you wrote my son
And they filled my heart with joy
I was so very very happy
To hear from my little boy
I see you’re growing up so fast
And getting pretty tall
You’re also being a very good boy
I can see that most of all
I know you do your homework
And are doing well in school
Always listen to Aunt Cakes and Uncle Morris
And remember to obey their rules
Son, although you can’t see me
I’m there for all you do
And like I said to Khadere
My memory’s alive in you
In your letter you wanted to know
Why I was the one who died
You said I didn’t do anything bad
I’m glad you know I tried
I’ll do my best to explain
Why Jesus called me away
You have to remember my precious son
None of us are here to stay
Jesus gave me a job to do on earth
And when that job was done
He simply stretched out His holy hand
And welcomed home His son
He knew that I was sick
And when my health began to fail
He wanted me back in heaven
So He could make me well
He knew that I was weak
And was getting somewhat tired
So instead of having me suffer more
He gave me what I desired
That was to be with Him
So I’d be in no more pain
There I can better watch over you
Through the sunshine and the rain
You’re blessed with a great family
Who’s there for you everyday
All you do is call their names
And they’ll be on their way
Now I know our time seemed short
And to you it seems unfair
But Jesus wouldn’t call me home
If He didn’t need me there
The things we did together
As a family will always last
The reason they’re called memories
Is because they’re from the past
So remember all the fun we had
In the sun and in the snow
Remember our many vacations
And the fun places we would go
Remember all the times
We went to the Sharon Zhengs
With aunt Cakes, aunt Peach & all the fam
Khalil, don’t ever forget these things
I know it’s a lot to remember
But that’s what keeps me near
The memories and precious times
You hold in your heart so dear
I know you’re sometimes sad
And you go in your room and cry
It’ll be alright my precious son
I will be standing by
Continue to write me letters
To express what’s on your mind
I’ll be looking forward to reading them
Each and every time
Stay in touch with the family
So you can all be close
Of all the things I ask of you
This one I ask the most
Be kind to Khareem, Tyshon & Munch
And always respect Khadere
Call “Mom Mom”, aunts, uncles and cousins
Those both far and near
I know there are a lot of things
I probably forgot to say
But this one thing you need to know
I miss you more each day
Please be strong for daddy
Until we meet again
Not only are you my little boy
You are my special friend
I love you Khalil my second born son
With all my soul and heart
I love you now and forever more
And I loved you from the start
So as I close this letter
I send a shout from up above
Khalil Leon Emanuel Hill
You're blessed with all of my love
“I’ll see you on the other side”
I LOVE YOU KHALIL LEON EMANUEL HILL

(Pam) and Family
You Are Not Alone
African Kings and Nubian Princess’
I thought it not robbery to take the time
And express the way I feel
Confused, shocked, hurt and saddened
Yet the plan was all in God’s will
Robert was a precious jewel
Whose value outnumbered the sand
When he could no longer hold his own
God stretched forth His mighty hand
A treasure who was sent straight from heaven
For you to shape and mold
You’ve completed your job, applaud yourself
You developed him into precious gold
As we all know, saying goodbye, is really hard to do
So when Khareem speaks or Ty'shon smiles
Robert will be doing that too
For when God called home your wonderful son
He did not leave you void
He left his seed so full of love
To bring you abundant joy
God has never made a mistake
As we may sometimes wonder
He has a plan for all of His children
No man can put asunder
So be encouraged my sisters, my brothers
Do dry your weeping eyes
For in death there’s life, a new beginning
Within the silence of your cries
Robert’s not gone; he’s only away
Enjoying his eternal place
And whenever you want to see him
Just look in each others face
For he’s eternally a part of you
So you need not ever say goodbye
His smell, his touch, his voice, his laughter
All within you lies
So think on the great times, cherish the memories
For in reminiscing nothing dies
You may feel like you’re down and out
But yet and still you’ll rise
God bless you my family
May He always keep you in His care
And when those times of loneliness comes
Just know He’s always there
You are not alone!
Peace and love!
“We’ll see him on the other side”
Your sister, your aunt, your friend

To the Family of Robert Douglas Hill
Though words cannot convey, the pain that you feel
The emptiness inside, the fact that it’s real
The thought that he’s gone, as if he were just born
The times that he cared, the truths that he dared
The races he’s run, the jobs that he’s done
The tears that he shed, the burdens he’s bared
All for the joy that lies ahead
Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might
You have the victory, for Robert fought a good fight
Then God said enough! The war has been won
And He stretched out His hand and said, “Come home my son”
So be not discouraged and don’t be dismayed
Jesus died for this cause, so Robert’s debt would be paid
Yes, it’s alright to cry, to even ask “why”
For we’ll understand it better by and by
For God makes no mistakes, and for Robert He had a plan
That was to be a warrior, a father, a son and God’s strong man
He’ll never be truly gone, he’s only in a better place
And the day will soon come when again you shall see his face
Though he seems far away, he’s really quite near
And you will always see him, when you look in a mirror
With love and sympathy,
Aunt Peach
Peace and love!
We’ll see him on the other side!

To Mommy: From (Robert) Through Aunt Peach
I really don’t know where to start
Neither do I have the words to say
I know your world’s been torn apart
Since I was taken away
You were my mom for a reason
As it was plain to see
Life is but for a season
And God gave you to me
We had our ups and downs
And grew as we progressed
There were very little frowns
Our relationship was a success
You taught me so many things
About life, laughter and love
And showed me what great pleasure it brings
To have the three above
You held my hand when it needed holding
And hugged me when I cried
You chastised me when I needed scolding
And corrected me when I lied
You often told me stories
Of the way life used to be
And the wonders of God’s glory
When the truth has made you free
I remember all the times
When we would take a walk
Was so glad you were mine
On the boardwalk or in the park
I know that you’ve been stressing
And losing sleep at night
But our friendship was a blessing
I have endured the fight
Remember God gave me as a loan
For you to mold and shape
You raised me till full grown
Your love I can’t escape
I cherish you precious mother
Whose life is a valuable gem
I would not have chosen another
For you made me whole within
I remember my first big wheel
You bought when I was one
I was head over heels
And having so much fun
The way you used to rock me
In the middle of the night
I felt completely free
And knew all would be all right
I really miss you mom
You were the best friend there could be
And later on in time
You will come to see
That God makes no mistakes
For sure He knows what’s best
I was always His to take
And He’s called me to my rest
He said my work there was complete
And wanted me back home
The atmosphere is so sweet
I worship at his throne
It’s time for me to say goodbye
Although I’ll see you later
There is no need to question why
The latter shall be greater
Mom please be strong and trust the Lord
To see you through this test
And remember you can rest assured
God knew what was best
I love you mom with all my heart
That’s how it’ll always be
I loved you from the very start
You mean the world to me
“I’ll see you on the other side”
Your 1st love
“Robert Douglas Hill”

Dougie,
Thought I’d drop a line
Just to let you know
Your brothers and cousin finished your song
And did their talents show
When I heard your voice
It sent chills down my spine
The tears saturated my cheeks
You know I was really crying
Listening to you talk
Made me yearn for more
I wanted everything to be the same
Just like it was before
You know Troy, Jeremy and Trey
They’re talented, I won’t refute
But you were the first to cut a song
They’re just following suit
I see that they have learned
A thing or two from you
By utilizing their skills
They’re doing what they do
They were sure to honor your memory
And all the wonderful times
They were privileged to spend with you
Indulging in rhythms and rhymes
The love they have for you
Is pure and no doubt real
And when they honored you in the song
Their loyalty I could feel
They vowed to look after your children
And to guide them through
Keeping your memory alive in their hearts
This they promised to you
Troy spit the first verse
His content, strong and true
The words flowed like a river
I could see them floating to you
Then Jeremy took the mic
And said what he had to say
He broke it down to a science
Then handed the mic to Trey
Trey being the baby boy
Came off with a touching freestyle
He gave everything within his heart
And flowed for quite a while
I sat in awe and listened
To this wonderful thing they’d done
Imagining all the fun yall had
Before there was minus one
I know everybody is yearning
To have our Rob D back
We love you more than life itself
For sure this is a fact
There wasn't much we could do
For God made the final call
And though we love you with all our heart
He loves you most of all
We’ll continue to honor your memory
And keep your spirit alive
It will be difficult for everyone
But it will be done with pride
So R.I.P. dear nephew
This too shall pass some day
Just wait for us at the pearly gates
We’ll soon be on our way
I’ll continue to be the pillar
In keeping this family strong
Chastising when it’s necessary
Denouncing all the wrong
Troy, Jeremy and Trey
When they they fall I’ll help them stand
I’ll be their backbone and their strength
And lend a hand within a hand
So until we meet again
I’ll just look up to the skies
There I’ll see your aura
Until the day I rise
Peace and love!
“I’ll see you on the other side”
"Aunt Peach"

Gone But Not Forgotten
Dougie,
Christmas came as usual
Though not quite the same
All the family gathered around
And we played lots of games
There were all types of foods
And desserts you loved best
We did everything in our power
To make this day a success
Aunt Cakes' house was decorated
Like only she can do
There were presents, music, surprises
And a memoir of you
We had all of your children
They had themselves a ball
We were sure to remind them
Of the most important thing of all
That Christmas is about family
Not just giving and receiving stuff
We could have ended with that fact
But that wasn't quite enough
God called us as a family
One who has proven true
To bind together in times of crisis
We all learned this from you
For sure your mom did come
It was hard for her to bear
The thought her baby wasn't coming
Though she longed for you there
But we didn't let her suffer
So we sent prayers up above
I am elated to tell you Dougie
She was overcome by our love
But you know it wasn't easy
We all shed our tears
It's pretty hard to accept
Losing what you've loved for years
Still in all we tried
To see the greater cause
That God didn't just take a life
He gave us life within our loss
The entire day was successful
We had an awesome time
Reminiscing of the joy you brought
And how you were one of a kind
We all miss you dearly
Our spirits are somewhat trodden
But rest assured within our hearts
You're, gone but not forgotten
"I'll see you on the other side"
Kim R. Watson
December 26, 2008
Dougie,
Twas the day before Christmas
And all through my heart
The agony of your presence
Still tares me apart
I can't even fathom
This day without you
The one who brought laughter
To all whom you knew
You were the life at every party
Noone could take your place
And when you walked into a room
Jubilee would fill that space
Your jokes they were funny
Your stories even more
You had us all in hysterics
Until our insides were sore
Your imagination was vivid
Each detail left suspense
The thick of the plot
Made it that more immense
You interacted and played
And never grew tired
As I watched in amazement
Your courage I desired
You never allowed
Your sickness to interfere
Though times you felt bad
Your motive was sincere
And that was to leave
A legacy to us all
That even near death
You can stand tall
You fought a good fight
The faith you kept
And still to this day
It's abstruse to accept
The fact that you're gone
Never to return
For your presence Dougie
My insides do yearn
But I'll do my best
To maintain the faith
That I'll see you again
While my spirit awaits
That great day when Jesus
Opens the sky
And all of our loved ones
We'll see up on high
So until we meet again
I'll maintain for the greater
There are never (good)byes
I will see you later
Peace and love!
"I'll see you on the other side"

To Khadere: From (Daddy) Through Aunt Peach
I got a message from your dad
While I laid me down to sleep
He said he sees your heartache
And that makes him want to weep
He said he's very concerned
Because you are sooooo sad
But he promised you would see him again
And your heart should be mighty glad
He said he knows you miss him
And you're filled with sadness and pain
But listen when the thunder roars
You'll hear his laughter through the rain
He said you know he taught you
To be the best son you can be
To show respect, love and honor
To the family and people you see
He said he's kind of sad
Because you're acting out your anger
And since you're hurt you do not know
Some things can be a danger
He said he sat and talked with you
Time and time again
And don't you never ever forget
Your family is your best friend
Your sister and brothers need you
Because they know you are the one
Who have the longest memories
Of all the good times and the fun
So set a good example my son
And make daddy proud
I love you more than life itself
And I say this very loud
You are my firstborn seed
From my loins you have come
I thank God each and every day
For blessing me with you son
I know there is no other
Who can take your daddy's place
But when you see your brothers and family
You'll always see my face
Always call your mom mom
Aunt Cakes and aunt Peach too
They love you much as I do
And they want to help you through
I know you're having a rough time
Your small heart must weigh a ton
But you're stronger than you think Khadere
Remember, you are my son
When you go to cookouts
And start to eat your crabs
Close your eyes for just a moment
And you will see me laugh
Laughing about all the good times
We had each and every day
The times we rode our bikes and scooters
When we all went out to play
I did not leave you alone
But I left those memories with you
And when you're feeling sad and down
I'll tell you what you do
Close your eyes and pray to God
Say, "I need to see my dad"
He'll allow me to visit you in a dream
And that will make you glad
Hold on to those precious dreams
And all the memories too
They will comfort and keep you
And they will guide you through
I'm going to take a break now
To give my wings a rest
I've given you all I had to give
And that truly was my best
I love you Khadere, my firstborn son
And that's how it will always be
You are my pride and my joy
And you mean the world to me
So please be strong and hang on son
And try to do your best
And when you make it through this storm
You will have passed the test
I know it's hard and sad sometimes
And you don't know what to do
But even though you cannot see me
I am here with you
You'll hear me in your laughter
And the many, many smiles
You'll see me in the pictures
Of when you were a child
You'll see me in the sunshine
That lights up all the sky
You'll see me in my many friends
When you see them walking by
You'll hear me in the wind
As it whistles through the trees
You'll see me up in heaven
When you fall upon your knees
You'll see me in the video games
When you sit down to play
You'll see me in the neighborhood
When you go around the way
You'll hear me on the radio
When they play "Apologize"
And when they say "it's too late"
I'll be singing from the skies
You'll see me on the T.V.
When you watch the oldskool rap
You'll see me do my special dance
Hey Khadere, picture that
You'll see me everywhere you go
Because I'll never leave your side
You and I are father and son
And forever we will abide
So until we meet again my son
Let me stop and shout
You're loved with all my heart and soul
And to you I say, "Peace Out"
"I'll see you on the other side"
I LOVE YOU KHADERE HASSAN DOUGLAS HILL

Dougie,
I thought I saw your face last night
While trying to go to sleep
I thought you shed a tear last night
Which made me start to weep
I thought you wiped my cheek last night
And asked me not to cry
I thought you said you'd see me later
For there never are (good)byes
I thought you whispered my name last night
Which made me leap up high
I looked and searched but could not find you
Then I asked God "why"
Why did you take my nephew Lord
Who meant all the world to me
He brought me laughter, gave me joy
And allowed me to be me
There are so many others
You could have come to take
Why did you not just leave him here
If only for goodness sake
My heart it aches so badly
Like a piece of flesh when torn
There is no inner healing
Only sobs within my mourn
I want to scream and shout
For my worlds' turned upside down
His smile, his voice, his merry laughter
They've all been silenced now
I feel so very angry
For I've lost a part of me
And now I lack the essence
Of what love was meant to be
I know there is no other
Who can take my Dougies' place
For when I'm looking in a mirror
His face shines through my face
But Lord can you tell me
Does this pain ever cease
And if I search within the night
Will you grant me peace
I cannot go on living
With a heart so heavy laden
Neither can my shoulder bear
The brunt of this great burden
Although I'm broken and distraught
You knew what was best
Now let me pause and thank you
For rendering his soul to rest
So all the pain and anguish Lord
I commit into your hand
And when I awake from this dream
Let me be whole again
But Lord I miss him sorely!

I know it is a little bit late to be writing you for your birthday. But I am going to write it anyway.
September 4, 2008
I know today is your birthday and you are no longer here with us. Rob September 4th will be so different without you. No more hearing your voice telling Kaleb and I happy birthday. It was a real honor and a pleasure sharing the same birthday with you. Now Kaleb, Shamira and I will forever have bitter-sweet memories on our birthday. But it will always be in my heart with all the fondest memories of you. It is definately hard for me to realize that you are gone forever and never to return to earth. Even though you will always be in my heart and I definately will remember you to the fullest; with no lack of love a percent less. Rob I love you and I miss you. I know I promised you before you left us that I would try my hardest to not argue with Dee when she came back down. So since I promised you I'm going to honor your request. Rob I need you back here. We all do. I remember how you told me to do everything to my fullest and graduate from high school and college and do something with my life, and don't waste it. You actually cared and I thank you for that a lot. I just want to say I LOVE YOU, I RESPECT YOU, AND I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. Peace & Love

You said you'd promise you'd be there when seasons change........you would but God has taken your soul up with Him but your heart remains here on earth forever with the people you love the most; aunts, uncles, neices, nephews, sisters, brothers, mother, children, and many more. So it's really not goodbye, it's see you later because someday we will be together until the end. Love your sister Dee always and forever.........
I remember when u used to call us and say "look out the window, I'm outside with double burgers, porkchops, and crabs."
The children and I would be riding bikes and playing ball untill somebody fell or got hurt then the day was over. But you would never think thoses days would be over so soon, but it's not for us to cry or pout because you're in a better place where you're free of pain and hurt.

To The Family Of Robert "Dougie" Hill
From The Heart Of Robert
I Had To Go
Although it may be hard
To accept the fact I'm gone
I'd think it pretty selfish of me
To leave you all alone
But for some time within myself
I knew this day would come
For the Lord assured me without a doubt
My work down here was done
I didn't want to leave you
Believe me, I tried to stay
But I had no say so in the matter
And was 99% on my way
Through signs and little effort from me
I tried to let you know
Family, I didn't want to leave you
I just had to go
Always knowing without a doubt
That with living comes some sorrows
So when you saw me laughing and joking
I knew I had limited tomorrows
I could have been very angry
Could have started to complain
Instead, I lived my life to the fullest
Knowing the ball was in my lane
Every now and again I made gestures
And by doing so I tried to show
Slowly but surely I was slipping away
Didn't want to leave, just had to go
I've often wondered what life would be
Without me on the scene
Would it be sad, would it be dull
Or would it be like a dream
And when you'd awake and go to that place
Where you'd normally see my face
Just look to the heavens and say God I thank you
For your amazing saving grace
See I'm not gone the way you assume
Just in a better place
In a heavenly room
And when you're longing for my presence
Trust me I'll be right here
For you will always see my face
When you're looking in a mirror
See I'm a part of you
And you're a part of me
We're a part of each other
And that's how it was meant to be
So please don't be discouraged
You can cry but don't be sad
I've left this earthly family
To accompany my heavenly dad
But before I officially depart
Once more I feel you must know
I did not want to leave
I simply had to go
So to my wife, children, brothers, sisters,
And I could never forget my mom "Pam"
I salute you, I love you
And peace out to all of my "fam'
I'll see you on the other side

To our family and true friends of the late Robert D. Hill. To know Robert was to love him indeed and that we did. Robert had a special place in our heart, we are truely missing you and will forever miss you, and your smile and your saying, "I love you aunt Cakes". Robert fought as long as he could, we know it was hard for him to depart from his family, especially his children. But God knew Robert was tired and he assured Robert it was ok to rest now, after talking with God Robert agreed!! Yes Lord I will take my rest! So we say to my (nephew) Robert R.I.P as our hurting hearts are weeping, we know your heartache and pain is all over now. Sorrowfully missed, your true love aunt Cakes and uncle Morris

Wassup Cuzzo...I never thought that I would be writing this to u, but I miss u so much. We always think that we have all of the time in the world to tell those that we care about how much we love them but clearly that's not true. Thinking back I wish I could have told you how much I loved you because it's so hard for me to accept the fact that you're gone. As much as I wish you could be here with us, I know that u and Uncle Dougie have a lot of catching up to do. I know that u are definitely in a better place and u don't have to suffer anymore so jus save a place for me in Heaven when my time has finally come. I luv u so, so, Much-Reese

Pam I am sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you and the family. Let God be your strength and your stronghold and pray to Him for He is the Hearer of all prayers. Remember now Pam that your sons battle is over and he is no longer suffering from illness but sleeping in a deep sleep until God calls him out of his resting place into a new life in a new world, one without sickness, death or outcry. My heartfelt sympathy go out to you, your grands and the rest of your family. I will pray for you all and remember Pam to pray in this time of loss because God will make it a little softer to deal with and you will always have Robert in your hearts and there is where his memories will always be. Again my condolences and prayers are with you Pam and your family.

Mrs Pam,
This is Tama and I'm not sure if you remember me but years ago you took me to buy a car. I needed help dealing with the sales people. Rob and I were friends, and I am so sorry about your lost. I know that Rob is in a better place, where there is no sickness. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Pam,
Please know that our hearts will always be with you, especially at a time such as this. I was going through some things and found the picture of Robert, Kareem and Rev. Blackwell together. It bought back fond memories of their childhood.
We sometimes forget that we are ALL GOD'S CHILDREN and just know that now Robert has been called HOME to suffer no more.
You know you can always call us and count on us whenever the need arises.
The memory of Robert will still live on in your heart and through his children. So even though he is not with us physically, he still lives on.
Stay strong Pam.
With deepest sympathy,
Kareem, Sudie & Eldon Thrasher
