Hey babe,
I tried to post something here on the 1st but it seems that it did not post properly for me. It is hard for me to believe that it has been a year since you left us to be with nanny and your grandfather. Sher and Colby dont voice it but i do think that they are aware of what time it is because they are extra cranky and moody lately. We all love and miss you very much.

Robbie,as I sit here in the dark thinking about you on this one year anniversary of your passing,my heart is breaking as if it was the day you left us. I know that you are no longer in pain, and are in a much better place,but that's just night helping the tears tonight! Your Dad has gone to bed he has been real grumpy today, he misses you just doesn't know how to let it all out ! We were planning on the family getting together this evening,he just couldn't do it , he wanted to be alone, to deal with things in his way , you know how he is! Good night son we miss you and love you very much !
All who believe in God's mercy and grace will meet their loved ones face to face where time is endless and joy unroken and only the words of God's love are spoken...

Colby is same as ever but seems to be liking boy scout, he just worked the poquoson seafood fest with boy scouts. We all miss you think of you. Love you lots.

He will live in the hearts of the friends he made and be known always for the foundation he laid, Because Goodness and Fairness never die-they go shining on like the sun in the sky,Just as Honor and Truth endure forever,Death is powerless to destory or to sever...So his gallant soul has taken flight into a land where there is no night,He is not dead,he has only gone on to a brighter,more wonderful dawn !
Happy Birthday Son we love and miss you very much !

I would have to say that this is the hardest thing i have ever been through, Losing my only brother I wouldn't even know how to began to explain the pain that i felt and still feel... I think that this experience had changed my outlook on life, that there is no explination why things happen they just happen. I will say this Rob was a wonderful brother, friend, son, and husband and i will never ever forget him, He will always be remembered.

No one will ever know how hard it is taking care of someone that you know is going to die and someone that you love. It takes so much out of you to watch someone them suffer and diterate in front of your eyes, it’s a hard thing and I would never wish this upon anyone. I feel for those that have someone in their life that they know isn’t going to be there very long. I know I’ve been there and yet to be over it, I miss my brother so much and no one will ever know but me and I wish so much that he could here with us today. Some reason God choose him and I’m grateful for the time I got spend with him. He will always be in my heart. People don’t realize the psychological involvement in caring for someone has a disease or cancer and I wish people knew cause they would see the big picture in what people go through that care for those that are going to die. I love and miss my brother so very much and I will see you someday and at this point I hope it will be soon.
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY MY BROTHER HAD TO DIE AND WE ALL GOT TO LIVE, THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT I GUESS. DEAHT IS JUST DEATH, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS IT. I REALIZE NOW THAT I HAD A BROTHER AND HE WAS FANTASTIC AND I KNOW ILL SEE HIM AGAIN BUT UNTIL THAN OUR RELATIONSHIP CONTINUES.

Rob,
Babe I miss you every minute of every day. I hope that you do not mind the decisions I have made since you left. I know that you are with your nanny and grandparents and you are no longer in any pain but I want you to know that losing you took a gigantic piece of my heart with you. My leaving the area was a mixture of running away from all the memories and running from the negative comments that I have heard about you, me, and our relationship. I want to you that your were right I do love you very much and I don't regret a single moment of time together even at the end. Mike and Arienne have been great and during the christmas holidays they were able to distract my thoughts so I would not be so terribly sad. Arienne is on strict orders till the first of the year she is to distract me endlessly. I love you and I miss you.

Robbie, I sit here two nights before Christmas, in the quite. Your Dad has gone to bed.The reality of you not being here for Christmas is setting in and it hurts.Tiff is gone she moved with Arienne, which you already know! We miss her too.. If we had known that you were going to get sick again and not be here for Christmas,we would have never gone away last Christmas.. I didn't even put your favorite decorations out this year,the deer stayed put.. It just did not seem right to put them out this year without you to rearrange them for me :) !
We know that you are now in God's hands and are no longer sick, but we still have a lot of healing to do ..
We love you and miss you very much!
I've kept the guest book online so we can come and write our feelings.. I'm also going to set up a memorial website soon !
Love you , Merry Christmas

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brandt Family. Robbie put up a good fight and is now in a better place. Robbie was always there to help us out over the years. It won't be the same without him running around the pits helping out. Robbie touched a lot of us and will not be forgotten. Robert, Jodi, Krissy and the entire 5 Alive Family.

To: Tiffany, Beverly, Jim, Katie, Kinsey and Shannon - Bobby and Terry Brandt and Family.
My heart aches for you at the thought of Robbie's Passing. May you take solace in the fact that Robbie is in the hands of the Lord now. He is suffering no pain and is at peace. He is with his beloved Grandmother Nanny (Polly) and his Granddaddy Bob as I am writing this. I realize it really hurts for him to be gone, but with the family members he is with and our Lord Jesus Christ, if he had an option he'd choose where he is today rather than the pain he's suffered for the last few weeks. Please remember he is not alone! I wish there were words I could say to ease your pain more, but there isn't. All I can tell you is that in time your grief will be less. It takes time, but you will always have the beautiful moments he brought into your lives. They will never go away. You had a wonderful son. I believe his spirit will always be with you. I am grateful to GOD we had him for as long as we did. I believe we're brought here for a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled GOD will bring us home to be with HIM. GOD bless all of you and give you the strength to carry on. If there is any time you feel alone and want to talk, or anything else, I am here for you. I loved him too. He was a thoughtful, lovable young man. Peace be with him, GOD's peace. Love, Aunt JO

To Tifany, Terry, Bobbie, and the rest of the Brandt family,
I had a hard time finding the words to help get everyone through this, but I will say that Robbie is in a better place where he can watch over us untill we meet again. When you are alone at night and feel like you are being watched, do not worry for it is him looking down and telling you everything is alright. just remember he is in heaven now and free from the cancer, and now he can race on that speedway in the sky. You will always be in my prayers.
Robbie you will always be in our hearts

I knew Robby for a long time, he was a friend of mine when we were kids and I lost touch with him. His parents and my Parents hung out.. I briefly raced in the Grand Stock division at Langley against him in the 2003 season.. I regret not reintroducing myself to him for fear of he not knowing or remembering who I was.. I am sure Robby is racing with angels now. Me and my family send our deepest condolances to the Brandt family. Jonathan, Robert & Cyndi Delatte

Race Drivers 23rd Psalm cont:
Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
when I run my last lap and take my last breath,
no evil will I fear
because ,Lord,you are near.
Your rod and staff and guardian angels,
they comfort me
as I given the final checkered flag
and ushered into eternity.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life and my racing career,
I now enter heaven's victory lane with my Lord
and loved ones that are already here.
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
and drive a golden chariot,
whatever color or number it may be
But Lord, could you make it black/white with number 42?
Forever and ever amen!!!!
This is the second half of the poem Mom did... Written my Rev.Potter

Race Driver's 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my Shepherd and my Spotter
in his tower up above
He looks out for me and takes care of me, it's all part of His great love.
He makes slow down in pit road and
brings me to a complete stop.
As my crew refuels,changes tires,and makes adjustments with parts from the shop.
He leads me beside the still track after the red flag has stopped the race,there is concern and uncertainty expressed on every driver's face.
He restores my soul and gives me peace of mind,He helps me restart and come from behind.
He leads me in every lap and shows me what is right.
Some NASCAR official is watching.
I am never out of their sight.
So for Your names sakes,I make a few changes in my plan,with Your help, I will give it everything I can.
He prepares a table of strength and courage for me in the presence of my competitors on the track, The good Lord takes care of my every single need
and with Him there is no lack.
You anoint me with blessing, my cup runneth over, so keep looking up
even when I don't always win a trophy or the prized Sprint Cup !
