Robert DeSpain

Dear Laura,

I am so sad to hear of Robert's death.... I have carried the two of you in my heart for a long time as a beautiful united front of radiance and warmth, and community embrace. Sitting here, tuning in to you guys, I would add, and living from the intelligence of the heart. I miss his presence on the planet and the two of you being together here.

I am wishing for you solace and deep blessings.

Much love, Shanti (Solala is in China right now.)

Oh my goodness....such a loss... I just learned of Robert's passing, and his celebration at OCF has also passed - just yesterday. What a sweet man and so kind. He was impressive in so many ways... patient and loving family man... He knew my husband, Alan, was in serious pain, and made it possible for him to participate in Spoken Word at the fair & then hang in the quiet of Alice's the remainder of the time. Thanks to his and Lara's kindness, we have some wonderful memories of Fair......

Long time friends of both Robert and Laura. Will miss his smile and warm heart always ready to listen and assist in any way possible. The Country Fair Land will always carry his energy to those who knew him. Peace my Brother.

You are in my heart, always. Thank you for being yourself, beautiful spirit. Fly free. You've graduated!

Dear Laura, So sorry to hear about your loss, he will be missed. Sending lots of love.

Robert, the red.
farm boy, loving Man.
Uncommon.....common sense with dogged tenacity and a heart of gold.
I miss you, my brother.
Until we meet again.
Nature speed.

My sweet brother...as I worked late for "Jug Cannon" service I noticed I have been making a more beautiful piece for family or friends to admire...you knew that I would love this job...I'm so glad that you inspired me to take it on!...
You "LEFT" this family to soon!...I wasn't done with you yet...You were the glue to this family...I'm lost right now...I cherish all the memories...I wish that a one of your big hugs would just surround me...it's just like Momma's...
Darn it anyway...what...

You will be missed.

It feels a long night again sitting with the loss of you
Time far too short to fully treasure you merry beloved friend
A ringing reminder, a sudden shaking awake. Our path is always uncertain

Live! Laugh. Be kind.

It is easy to tune inside and hear your mirth, my rolling eyes, another crazy joke, where do you find them? Your twinkling eyes a parentheses to warm hearted times we shared
Sorrow dark again mingles with light joyful memories
