Not sure what to say?

Dear cousin, although we never met in person we shared love of family, caring, laughter, and concern for each other through Facebok and Messenger. You helped me continue enjoying life to its fullest. I watched you and your girls go through good times and bad. We enjoyed the announcement of your fiancé and how well things were going for all of you. As you travel to your Heavenly home don't forget to say hello to your Aunt Judy. She and my dad thought a great deal of you. Your laughter...

I am so sorry for your precious loss i can’t even imagine your heavy hearts love and prayers.

Robbie was a cousin that loved to have fun. Growing up we would play with match box cars and help grandma with gardening and the yard. He taught me how to swim when we were younger. We always had lots of fun together when I would come up for the summer.
Even though life got in the way as we grew up, I love him dearly and will miss him a lot.

To my aunt and uncle , I am sorry for your loss.

Robbie always had a smile on his face and ALWAYS went out of his way to see Hello. He was definitely a fun loving guy.
