I am Don Paul. Brian Josephsen´s brother and Robbie´s friend. I still think of those 2 inseparable clowns. I use the word clowns because they were always clowning around together and they loved each other so much.
My mother Merry Josephsen passed away on June 27. 2021 from her battle of cancer. I don´t know what heaven is like even though we were all once there before coming here, but I certainly hope the three of them have reunited together and my mom will now have the energy to keep up with Robbie and Brian on their adventures . Robbie, I miss you and I think about you so much and your laughter and the amount of energy that you just had to go go go- you were such a delightful person to be around. I can´t understand why my brother passed so soon from this earth. I can only imagine much of his sadness since you passed was a part of his passing, because he grieved so long after you left him. Robbie I look forward to the day when I can put my arms around you again and tell you how wonderful you are. I hope you´re gonna be there when I leave this earth to give me that hug and I look forward to receiving it. I love you Robbie. You take care.

My brother Brian who passed away six years ago was Robbie´s best friend. I mean they were inseparable. Bryan was devastated when Robbie had passed but I have no doubt that they are together again in the next life living it up. We lost my mother to Cancer last June. Weeks before she passed I was talking to her about life and what happens in it with us and I passed her to look out for Rob and Brian to give them both my love and I have no doubt that They have reunited. I can only imagine where Brian and Robbie are living now. I hope that heaven has welcomed them with open arms. God bless everyone of them and all of us.

I still think of you a lot and remember our days of playing when we were growing up. We had such fun playing paper dolls and spending nights together. Your cousin, Sandra

Family,

I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Robbie, she was a dear friend of my brother Brian Josephsen. I feel his life will be sadly empty with her passing.
There was quite an age difference, but regardless they were dear friends and I know age has no limit for those you are fond of.

My condolences,

Nancy Stoller

Crystal and Andrea,
You girls don't know me but I am your mothers cousin. We grew up together in Shafter. No one had a bigger collection of paper dolls than we did. We played together and were best friends. We lost touch after we got married and had children. Your grandma and my mother were sisters.

Even though I haven't seen Robbie for years I thought of her often and about all the good and fun times we had growing up. I will miss her and the good friendship we had forever. You girls and your families are in my prayers.

Hey Robbie, You are the sweetest person and everytime you came to our house to see Brian, I loved visiting with you. You have such a unique character and love to the neatest things. I will miss you so much. It was hard to sleep last night as you kept coming to my thoughts.
You and always will be my brothers BEST friend.
I love and miss you much-
Don Paul Josephsen
