Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Robert,
You were always a great guy, a great friend and so much fun to be around at the horse shows! I never will forget the last time we showed in juvenile together. When we came out of the arena and gave each other a hug and I told you "now its your time to shine buddy, go get em'!!!" I can't imagine what its going to be like going the shows and not seeing you there, I know there was five years difference in our age man but god I loved ya man! I'm sorry we never did anything outside of the shows but trust me I was always looking forward to getting to see you! Your the man buddy!! You'll never be forgotten, I've got our picture up in my room. I miss you man!
To Jane and his Grandma: I'm deeply sorry for your lose, and I hope you know Robert's friendship meant a lot to me! If you ever need me feel free to contact me! Jane I hope to see you at the Washington Co. Show!

To Roberts family,
I did not know Robert but I know his mom and her side of the family, from growing up in the same community and going to school with them. I have read the entries to Robert's guest book and cried. I have a 16 year old son and can't imagine the pain and sorrow you all feel right now and for a long time to come. What a shame for such a young life to be gone and to wonder why when you read all the things people have wrote and what a fine young man Robert was. Maybe there is a lesson for us all in this tragedy, that we must make it known to all those that come into our lives no matter the circumstance that they mean the world to us and their life does make a difference. Don't just take it for granted that they know that. Tell them out loud, in the moment, whatever and whenever, so maybe just maybe we want have to when it's to late for them to hear us.
My thoughts and prayers are with all Roberts family and friends, and know that the grace of our Lord will see us through any thing

I'm sorry to all those who loved him. Ask God to help you through this difficult time. Robert was a great guy. He helped sometimes with my Algebra homework and i used to laugh when he'd try to stuff everything into one of my friend's locker. My brother Kyle will miss him too. He played video games with him a lot and was amazed at how good he did it without a thumb. I'm sorry for the family's loss. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

I did not know Charles Robert Blair, but I know his dad. Eddie works with me on a daily bassis. I cant think of a finer person. I just found out today about this tradgedy. The pain my heart feels for the family is unthinkable. I do know that Eddie loved his son very much and I know that the hurt will linger for a long time.. As for Roberts mother I cant imagine the hurt that she too will endure. All I know to say is Im here and I pray to god that he cover them with his grace and mercy and help shed some light on this most difficult time. To the family I say I am sorry for the hurt and pain just keep your focus on god and he will bring you through.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

Robert even though I only knew you for a couple of years, I still got to know a person determined to better himself in every thing that you were in. I'm glad that I was able to call you a friend, teammate and I wish that our friendship would have lasted for years. My thoughts and prayers go toward your family. The world has lost a very respectful, determined person.
