Rob, Hilda and family members:
It is often said that "time heals". Although six years have passed since Robby was taken from us, the grief is still very real. However, we believe in the hope what God's word gives us, that we will be reunited in Heaven some day with those who have died ahead of us. I Thessalonians 4: 13-18
Looking forward to a reunion with Robby in the presence of Jesus.
Janice and Dave Burton Sr

A life ended much too soon here on earth, lives on in Heavenly Places. Robert, we love your family and continue to remember each of them in our prayers, knowing the grief never dissipates. We fondly remember you!

Hi, my name is Wendy (Mersiowsky) Selvaggi. I met your son many years ago at Facenda-Whitaker Lanes when he watched his father bowl. My father, Fritz Mersiowsky and I met the Braxtons at PECO. We have always had the greatest respect and fondness for the Braxton family. We send you our sincerest sympathy and we will keep your family in our prayers. Psalm 143, 8 "Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul."

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My daughter, Natasha and Rob developed a lasting friendship which began during their years at Temple University. I had the pleasure of meeting your son at her graduation dinner. He presented as a fine and well mannered young man. Their friendship continued and she would share good times and laughter. I am so saddened by such a tragedy.

Even with all the words in the English language, in this moment they are all insufficient to fully convey to you the depth of my sorrow in the loss of your beloved son Robby. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and I hope that in time you will find comfort in all the good memories of time spent with him. May you find strength in knowing that one day, you will be reunited with him for eternity and never ever part again.

Fervently in prayer for everyones strength today and those that follow. Love you so very much,

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Braxton family. I had the privilege of meeting Rob during our time at Temple University. We didn't know each other that well, but he was always friendly with me during our daily basketball pick-up games. We often shared quick exchanges on campus and he was also smiling. Sorry for your lost Braxton family.

Will always remember the times I shared with this awesome person. The time spent on the court at Spring Valley playing for hours. No matter what sport we played together he was the ultimate competitor even in gym class at NP playing tennis he gave 125% all the time and wanted to win. Great memories he always had me laughing and smiling. So sad this happened to him and his family. We lost a great person.

I love you Robby. Feels like just yesterday you moved in next door and we became closer then friends we became family. Between the days as kids playing man hunt, to driving to high school together, to having our nights at the village tavern together, and most of all being two days apart in birthdays and you being so happy you were "two days older". I'm gonna miss not being able to text you on our birthday. But I know in spirit you will always be here. Call me selfish but I wish you just were here...I love you Robby forever and always and I pray you get the justice you deserve because if anyone in the world you were the last to ever deserve this!! Until we meet again! Love you!</3
