My dearest son Bob,
I miss you soooooooooo... very much. I know that you know, with great sadness in September our Sonya Kolo Gibson has gone to be with the Lord and you. Her mom Ms. Louise is taking it pretty hard as any mother would, but we are here for her. As you know Aniya, your daughter and Brittany will be well taken care of, they will be alright. I shall never forget when you lifted Aniya while she was so young and said "You will be the head of this family, you will know what to do." He left her the head of his estate to share with her brothers and sisters. He always said that she was so smart. Oh Bobby I/we miss you so very much. I/we miss Sonya too. We know that you are now both in the loving arms of the Lord and that gives us peace. This is the ONLY thing that gives me peace.
Love always.....

Oh Bobby, my dearest son. I cannot believe it has been four years already. For me it feels like yesterday when I last saw your handsome face in person. My heart is sooooo very heavy all the time. I will be speaking at another event about gun violence. You will never be forgotten. Last week was spring vacation and as we always do we, Grandpa Rob, Granddad Ray and I, took all the children an Easter basket/bucket in honor of you. The boys spent the entire week with us. They are getting so big and I know you would be so proud of all of your children. We keep in touch with the children and their moms and always will. When I see them I see you and it makes my heart feel so much better. I miss you so.......................................
We love you always.....

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone with out you here. You were with us in spirit always. I was happy to see three of your children on Thanksgiving day. When ever I see them, I see you. Quan, Jalyn and Londynn are getting so big. They all love you so much as we all do/ Your Uncle Sam stayed for the weekend. Your other children went out of town for the weekend with their mother's families. Just think another year has gone by already. We have so much to be thankful for. All of your children are doing well and are doing good in school. I know you are so pleased. We all send out love to you always....

ALL THE BUTTERFLIES HAVE GONE AWAY
Every time I heard your voice or you came near
Flittering around in my stomach, “The butterflies are here” !
From day one to year 11, this always stayed the same.
I could not control the butterflies, they would not be tamed.
Even a text or email from you, the butterflies went wild.
I wanted to jump around, like being at the park as a small child.
I couldn't stay away, even when I tried.
And the butterflies wouldn't move, as if they had all died.
But then I would see you again, and those things where all over the place!
Anyone could tell, it was written all over my face!
I think of you and those butterflies every single day.
Since you left, so did they. All the butterflies have gone away.
I love you Robert.

I am in the library because my computer has crashed again. I may have to just get a new one. May 15 will be here soon. I will be glad when the trial is over and we can rest in peace. I miss you so much and there is so much that I want to tell you but I know you know. I am going to start writing information that your children and all my grands should know about their family on their fathers side. Most people do not know family pass their grandmother. That includes me but I know my grandmother which will be your and Tamelas childrens great great grandmother. We must know and remember our family tree.

She will know…
Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine you rocking Kamryn to sleep.
With one finger to your lips, telling me not to make a peep.
You said actions are loud and words can be cheap.
You told me I am good with words but yours can also be deep.
I remember your persistence, and how you were always driven.
You wanted something, you got it. You was a winner when you was still living.
You loved to help people and made a difference in people's lives.
When you walked into a room, everyone knew that you had arrived.
Kamryn will know who you are and I will not let her forget.
Despite the fact she never saw you and you two never met.
Love
Rena and your baby girl Kamryn
She will know… Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine you rocking Kamryn to sleep. With one finger to your lips, telling me not to make a peep.

My computer had a virus but it5 has finally been fixed now, Yeah. I have missed talking to you here. I used your sisters computer 3 times and the virus spread to her computer. Happy Birthday darling. I do not work on your birthday. You are 35 years old on the 18th. I, Rob, Sr. and Ray miss you so very much. I always remember your handsome smile, your loving and joking ways, your love for your children and their mothers. I know you were not perfect, no body on this earth is, you have a good heart and the only thing that helps me is God and that I know you are with HIM and are safe in HIS loving arms. You know you don't have to worry about your children because we will make sure that they are alright and will never forget you - their Dad.

My computer has been struck with a virus so I am using you sister Tam's computer. So much has been happening. The trial has been rescheduled for the last time I am told to March 11, 2014.
The holidays of course were not the same without you.
We saw most of your children this holiday and they are getting so big and are so smart. I will never let them forget you - their father.
You and I were in the Baltimore Sun Paper on Sunday, December 15, 2013 for Mom's Demand Action Against Gun Violence. I will not stop appearing and speaking on your behalf against gun violence.
We love you sooooooo...

My computer has a virus and it is being worked on. There is so much that I want to tell you although most of it you already know. Your children are getting so big. Jennifer and Londynn were in town recently. Londynn is getting so big and she is a good dancer. Kam has a cold. Your grandfather Robert Laney died. He is with you now so you know that.
There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you and I smile and cry. My life will never be the same without you physically here with us. My only consolation is that you are in the loving arms of our heavenly father and we will see you again. I love you and I miss you. For real, for real, that's what's UP.

I hope you can see this from Heaven
STILL...
I STILL think about you everyday
When you was here, I was STILL the same way
I STILL cant believe that you had to go away
God help me live with this, STILL I have to pray
I try to keep STILL waters, so maybe I can receive
The lessons from God, and STILL learn when to take heed
STILL I must move forward, without any bereave
Without any reprieve, STILL I must grieve
Although I am grown, in some ways I am STILL naive
To pray for God to rewind time, this notion I STILL conceive
I STILL and always will wish you didn't have to leave.
I love you Robert Laney
Always

The memories of you play over and over in my head, I still can't believe a person with such a beautiful heart is gone home so early. Niya is handling it so well. She always say daddy is in heaven ( with a smile) and one day we will see him again. I guess she's strong like you.

I'm still trying to get over the fact that ill no longer see you again on Earth. I know your spirit is here with us. I'll always make sure your kids are ok. You was the strong one in our family so it feels like someone took that pillar of strength that held the family up, away from us. I'm praying for our kids because this world is so cruel. You are the evidence. I'll be praying for them until my last breath. One of your friends just found out about your passing a month ago and he is soo hurt. Shawn said he wished he could have said his last goodbyes. I want you to know I miss you very much. In life we take so many things for granted. Even just not taking full advantage of just having someone in our company. Situations like this really make the small things so large. I'll love u always

That's ok it will happen make no mistake on that. We miss you soooooo... much Bob.
