Im writing for bobby's mother. This is one of his good freinds rob. I just wanted everyone to know what a special child i had. Bobby was always concerned if i was alright. he always worried about his freinds anna, rob, and amanda. bobby was always concerned about rob being depressed about his girlfreinds. if he would hurt himself. bobby would be home talking to me alot. he was worried about anna and walked out of the house to see if she was ok even when others werent worried. he liked anna alot. but didnt want her to know.because he was shy. i was so glad he could talk to me.(mom)he would tell me rob was upset and anna was depressed. and he never would worry about himself. he would always say good night to me and nick and we loved each other every night.he said he wanted to where aeropostale because amanda liked it. i remember one day when i was coming home from work. bobby had different colthes on. it was to impress anna. i asked him if he likes anyone. because he was always in the house he said when she breaks up with her boyfreind he would talk to anna. he never got the chance to. i miss him soo much!! amanda was like a sister to him. love mom

very depressed

Bobby was one of the nicest people i have ever met. He was always thinking of others rather than himself. If you were feeling down there was bobby to brighten your day and put a smile on your face. I believe when something bad happens something good always follows, and i thank Bobby for it because he made us all realize how much we care and love each other. We should all cherish our moments together and live life to the fullest and have no regrets. Bobby will be greatly missed, but will always be loved from all his friends and family! My dearest sympathy to the entire Blatt family and Bless Debbie for having 2 wonderful sons (Bobby & Nick) I love you guys.. R.I.P Bobby!

Dear Aunt Debbie and Nick,

Bobby's death was as big of a shock to me as it was to you. I know this time is going to be the most difficult time of your life but I believe everything happens for a reason, I dont know why god would choose to take such a good kid who you adored with everything you have away from you, but he works in mysterious ways. Life isnt far. Dont say goodbye to Bobby because someday we will all see him again in heaven. He is in a good place and he is looking down and watching over all of us but im sure he will be with you now to help you build stength. If you ever need anyone to talk to you know where to find my mom and I. You have a lot of people who love you so im sure you wont be alone in this time of grief. Dont worry about Nick because he has all of Bobby's friends who care for him. I love you's both soo much and I know bobby is with you's. You are in my prayers.



R.I.P Robert C. Blatt

We will never forget you!!

I remember when Bobby first started school and Uncle Bobby asked me to keep an eye on him (that's how Uncle Bobby is). Bobby was shy and quiet. He was a great kid. This school year I had the opportunity to work with Bobby again while he was in the Academic Intervention Center at the High School. Bobby always kept busy reading or working on other assignments. Sometimes he and I would just talk to see how things were going for him. I did notice that he was not that shy little boy anymore, he had grown into a fine young man. That is how I will remember him, a fine young man with a smile on his face and conversation to share. We all know that he is in Heaven already. God Bless Bobby's entire family.

Andrea and Brittany

November 17, 2004

Even though i didnt know you Brittany did. We're deeply sorry for your loss. Brittany remembers him as a nice person and it makes me wish I knew him. We know what you're going through, Brttany lost her mom (Kim Leroy) and Matt Kable last year. I lost Brittany's mom who was not only my godmother but my cousin.Even though Bobby lived a short life he made the best of it. Deepest sympathy to Bobby's family. He's in our prayers.

Diane,Tyler and Bobby ODonnell

November 17, 2004

Tyler and Bobby grew up next door to Bobby B and Nick and were all best friends. We are so devestated over your loss words cannot describe how heartbroken we are and how much we will miss you. We will miss doing "switches" on the weekends,hearing your laugh and seeing your smile. I will miss talking about scary movies and books with you and the boys miss, well everything about you.--Life is so unfair--you were just starting to grow up. Debbie and Nick and Chuck..we love you and you will be in our thoughts and prayers always and we will all be there for you and Nick every day--whenever you need us. We will not say goodbye because we will see you again someday, and until then, we miss you terribly! Love always,

Diane, Ty and Bobby ODonnell

Bobby was one of my first friends...I believe I met him in the 2nd grade, he was always nice. One of the nicest people I've ever met. I'll miss him very much, it's really hard right now to admit he's gone...but eventually you'll hear from him again. It may be in a dream or you'll feel his spirit, but he'll always be looking out for you.

Caitlin

I didnt really know Bobby that well , but we were friends for a while. And in the time I knew him he seemed like a really great kid and I think it is tragic what happened to him. There are plenty of other people I know, but none that are just like him.
