Frederick James Robinson III

It's been years... I remember Freddy fondly. I see Tammy has his spirit for life and laughter. My most vivid memory is that of one of many birthday parties at Tammy's home. Sitting on the couch with Tammy and Freddy laughing and telling corny jokes! We miss those we love when they cross over to God, but they are never truely gone if you carry them in your heart. I'd like to say the grieving will get easier, but sorry my friend it does not. You eventually find a safe place to keep the...

I had not seen Fred since he and Tammy came to my wedding in Salem, MA in 2002. This was right after he had lost his leg and he was having a difficult time dealing with it. I remember being so pleased to see Fred on the dance floor a few times throughout the evening. I still have the video of him singing "Play that funky music, white boy" at the top of his lungs.

MY FATHER'S LEGACY CONTINUES

Almost a month has gone by since my father passed. Grieving is a process much like the ups and downs of life.

Thankfully I experienced many of the stages of grief while I was present with him at his bedside in his last month of life.

Thanks to all who left a message for my father and to those of us he left behind.

For all that life dealt him, he was a tough SOB. I can only hope I will be as resilient as he was the rest of my life.

Cliff,
Sorry to hear about your Dad. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Tammy, No matter how old we are when we lose our dad, we mourn as a little girl. I'm so sorry for your loss.trevor,s mom

Tammy and Cliff~
Please know you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost both parents (my Mom recently) and also being in my 1st trimester Tammy I know the emotions your feeling at this time. I hope you have a wonderful experience with this pregnancy. I hope you both find peace in the memories you hold of your Dad.

Love and Hugs,

Hadn't seen Freddie since high school. He was a good and humble soul, quick to laugh. Not surprised he lived a life so well. God must have figured he was ready. His family should all be proud.
