My Love, This is only the beginning of many I fear of so called hollidays without you. I've cried all day and now all night it seems. I miss you so much. We did everything together, now what do I do? I can't hardley bear the silence. Now all I hear is my deffining crys tonight. I know you and Jesus are sitting and contemplating what to do with me. I have a suggestion. Bring me to where you are! You know your daddy always said you and I worked so well together. Well I'm not done, working by your side. So the sooner the better, OK? I am in no condition to do anything here but write to you. I would much rather be telling you all this face to face. I've done all I can do now. All the paperwork for insurances is done, your funeral is paid for, the bills are all current. The only thing left is paying for the other half of OUR marker in the cemetery. I am ready to be reunited with you whenever GOD says come home. Just think of the amazing things we could do for GOD together. I have been so extrodinarilly sad today. It may be because I've gotten so much done in the last 5 weeks and today was the 4th of July and I had no place to go like we used to. For the last 5 weeks it seemed like you have been here. Maybe asleep or something but it felt like someone was taking care of you while I had to be gone and when I got home I knew you were comfortable so I could relax a little. That is now all gone and reality seems to be beginning to set in for me. I don't like it. Not even a little. I want and need you. I know I am not the only one who has lost their only love and I thought I was stronger than this but you are my whole world. Everything I did and still do is for you. Now what? I am so sorry to burden you with this but maybe you can put in a good word for me with the BIG GUY for an early departure. Then watch the miracles happen. You, me, and GOD, what couldn't we do together! Well, I feel a little better just knowing I can write you like I did your daddy when ever I want or need to. Good night, my love.

Don't weep at my grave
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance on the air.
If I'm missed, find a flower,
I'll be there too,
Sniffing it's fragrance
Right next to you.
Don't be sad
When you remember me,
For I'm singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Flirting with the lighting,
Playing tag with the wind,
Chasing the thunder
Time and again,
Soaring with the eagle,
Swimming in the sea,
Enjoying all of nature
While I'm waiting for thee.

Your in my thoughts and prayers. .hugz.

Kathy & Judy...We, of course, are so sorry that Robin is gone. His suffering is over now. Kathy, without you...what would Robin have done??? You were so good to him...your love showed in everything you did for him...whatever he wanted...you made it happen. And Judy...what can I say about you??? You were such a wonderful sister to Robin. You gave him so much comfort and strength. Think of the memories you made with him...memories that no one can ever take from you. You were there for both of them when they needed you and you couldn't do enough. All I can say is...thank God for a wonderful wife that loved her husband with all of her heart...and a sister that couldn't do enough for her brother...never thinking about herself...!!! Neither of you will ever have any regrets...because you...the TWO of you made his life easier and you both filled it with love and laughter...clear up to the end. I love you both.

My love to both of you...

Kim and Corey, Bob and I want to tell you how much your Dad meant to us. Bob has known your Daddy since 7th grade. I've know him since Bob and I were married 40 years ago. Robin is our oldest friend. We had so many great times with your Mom and Dad. I know just how you are feeling right now because I felt the same way about my Dad as you do about yours. Kathy, I cherish the last 30 years with you guys. We had so many good times with you two. We lost a really good friend and we'll never, ever forget the good times we've all had together. Remember that we'll always be there for you.
