Robert, even though we are different, in a lot of ways we are the same. We never met, but yet we know each other. I'm sure you have taken this with you; so I'll write it as a reminder to myself:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
All we have is today, for tomorrow is never promised. Keep Comin' Back brother. And if no one has told you today that they love you, you are loved by many.
Peace...see you on the other side.

Robert was recommended to us as a wedding photographer last June and he was talented, sweet and accommodating. His vision and artistry were apparent as he captured precious photogrophic memories for us at the Jefferson Hotel, downtown Richmond. He is gone too soon and his family and close friends will remain in my prayers. Godspeed, Robert!

A poem of encouragement for your loss.
Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,
Then disappears tomorrow.
All that we are can quickly fade away,
Replaced with tears and sorrow.
If a man should die, can he live again?
Hear the promise God has made:
Friends of our God, though they may pass away,
Will never be forsaken.
All those asleep who in God's memory stay,
From death he will awaken.
Then we will come to see all that life can be:
Paradise eternally.
He will call; The dead will answer.
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work of his own hand.

Robert & Natalie, I can not express how sad I am to no longer have Robert with us. I so much enjoyed his friendship and I will miss his bright smile.
With deepest sympathy, Sherry

Hey Berto, you definitely know who I am by that nickname. It was great spending all of those days together at work tackling those massive distributions! Wow, remember Inventory, going out to the floor, every day! Talking about virtually anything between us both? Thank you for Janaya and I's Valentine's Day Pictures, Our Pre-Engagement Pictures, and our Wedding Pictures. Thank you for making magic happen when you hid behind the bushes at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in the HOT 100 degree weather for 20 minutes in order to capture on of the most magical moments of my life. Man, certainly will miss you; your photography is . . . and will forever be amazing! My prayers will always be with you, and your fam . . . certainly your very kind, sweet sister . . . Erica. Man, gone too soon. But, I'm sure we'll meet up, you're certainly in a better place. Rest in Peace friend.

Robert was a very talented and gifted young man who spoke through his photography. He drew us in through the warmth he caught with his camera. His passion and creativity is not lost to us. We can view his accomplishments. Hopefully we can use part of his vision to view life and appreciate those around us.
