Robert Douglas Stevenson

Bob, time is just flying by, it's been 7 mos already. Mom and dad are doing well, Pati and I are taking care of them. I think of you daily. We miss you and hope you have reunited with all the loved ones who have passed before you.
Love Deb

Bob, I can't believe it is 6mos today since you died. It's amazing how fast the time has gone by, I think it was easier when Pati and I were running around like chickens with our heads cut off, but now that things have slowed down, it's still too hard to wrap my head around all of this. Mom and dad are doing well, kids are growing like weeds. I still think about you all the time, and see you in my dreams. You will always be a part of me, regardless of the time that goes by. Until I see you...

Yesterday Robert was buried in his final resting place in the Sierra Foothills. His death is still such a shock and there are only brief moments that my mind allows me to take it all in. But when I suddenly feel him near I stop and listen. When I do, I feel closest to him and more at peace.

May God take care of you Robert, and rest in peace.
I love you, Pati

Bob, today is Sunday Dec 10 and we had your memorial yesterday. I hope we did ok. It was a very long, stressful weekend...but worth all the sweat and tears to honor you as you deserved. We met a lot of your friends who spoke highly of you and shared many stories. You were loved by many! One of the common threads was that so many people felt you helped them when they were out to help you! They loved your laughter, your humor and all agreed that you were incredibly talented. We played some of...

Most of you did not know Bob when he was young, so I will tell you a little about him. He found stray dogs, cats, tortoises, snakes, and many other creep crawlers to care for. He came home from the golf course where he was a grounds keeper with a jack rabbit about 3 hrs. old that mom had to feed every 2 hrs with an eye dropper. He went up to the top of Mt. Diablo and came home with beautiful rocks to build a fish pond. He added an old fashioned lantern to the top that hung down near the...

It's taken me some time to be able to sit down and write this. I'm still somewhat in shock over Robert's sudden and totally unexpected passing. It's been over a month and I can still hardly believe that Robert is gone.
Of course my thoughts and prayers are with Robert's family: his parents, both of whom I know are struggling with the grief of losing their only son, and his sisters. I'm always just a phone call away. I loved your son/brother dearly. He was one of my best friends for the...

Bob, today is Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for having you in my life. We had good times, we had bad times..we were/are siblings, but I have always loved you and always will. I con't to talk to you a lot, Im sure you know that, I wear your gold chain everyday, I think of you everyday and I miss you everyday. I hope that somehow, Pati and I can get to the bottom of this and get the answers we need. We are taking care of mom and dad and all the other issues. I want you to be peaceful and know...

To Robert's Family:
Know that his gentleness was recognized, his wonderful imagination appreciated - his humor and enthusiasm shared. Know he was loved dearly and will live on in the hearts of those he touched so deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.
