In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
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.

To the First Family of the "Ville", You've lost someone who was a special part of your family. Words, however kind can't mend your heartache, but may those who care and share, bring to you comfort and peace of mind.
May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends. God Bless you all.

To the entire Hawkins Family: I knew Robert from CYO basketball and from Jr Highschool and he was a great individual at that point in his life. My thought and prayers are with all of you at this time and may Robert be safe and happy in his new home. God had a plan but we are all blessed to have know him. I hope he sees my brother Eddie, Maybe they can play some basketball.

To the Hawkins Family
Our condolences on the passing of Robert. To those who remember "Hawk" in his adolescent years will always remember his fun loving spirit and kindness to others. His basketball career was cut short, but as he told me many times, He was "the best hooper" of the three brothers.
I will always have fond memories of "Hawk"
God Bless him and The Hawkins Family
