Dear Bob,
It's hard to believe that today is your 1 year Anniversary. I so often can hear your laughter, your friendship and love that you gave to me as a friend, your arms that opened wide and embraced me over some 4 years ago. Sad to say that your Beautiful Daughter Nikki who's life was shorten at a very young age, put us just that much closer. You never went one day without forgetting me nor did your entire family ever forget me and my family. I feel so very special and honored in having known both You and Nikki. I will never forget all the great times we had, the laughter, the conversations, the man to man talks that we shared on how you felt, how you opened up your heart to me and what Nikki and your Family meant to you, how you always managed to call, text message or make some contact with me. We had some fun times out on the town.... The memories will never end. The conversations we had about you being a Father and the Love for his Daughter and the pain you felt and heartbreak after losing Nikki, I will always remember. I can still hear the way you spoke to me, how genuine you were, how special you felt about me and how a man went through so much hurt but managed some way to include me as a life time friend. There are times I think how and what would we all be doing now if You and Nikki were here. Though its not that way, there are times I can feel you both and what you meant to me. On this day I do hope that you are embraced with Love, Happiness and Arms Wide Open as the Two Angels that I feel you both are. Shine down upon your Parents and Family, Blessed them and FEEL their hearts, their LOVE they have for your two, their pain, their hurt and Enlightened them with Hope,Comfort and Understanding in your memories.
Be their Strength, Protect and Heal your Family!

May God Bless You Bob and Nikki.

R.I.P.
With Love,

Hey Bobby B!!!!

I miss you so much! I hope you are ok. You have been on my mind so much today. Everywhere I look I see you. Today I was at Matt's to take Bunter to school & Matt came out. I looked at him & my eyes teared up. I see you all in him. We are so lost without you & Nikkers. I ask God all the time why? I know I will never get the answers. It is so hard to look at mommy & daddy. I see the pain in their eyes. They are hurting so bad. Daddy holds it in, but mommy she cries all the time. It breaks my heart. I hope you know i much i love you. I miss my big bro so much!!!! I hope you know how much you are loved & missed. Till later Adios Amigos

Hey Son, Tomorrow's date is your special # tomorrow is 080808 it will be your date. Visit if you can I really need it. This weekend was bad as you know, I find it so much harder up the mts, your clothes,sneakers, your writing on the board the rock you wrote to Nikki (black w/red rose) and also we spent more one on one time up there then at home. It was nice to see you every day when we were up there. I would love it if you or / and Nikki would visit. I know you and Nik know how very much I love and miss you two. Ron text us,calls us and emails us, what a very special person he is to us. I call him my G.S.I. L He really misses you Bobby you were really a F.I.L to him. I think he loved Nikki more than he realized. I know you two are watching over our family especially the little ones. How about Robert Nicholas is he not the cutest he is so good, Daddy and I can't call him Bobby yet (especially Dad), maybe someday but for now it is too hard. I wish you guys were here to see the shore house I know you 2 would love it. But I know you will be there at times with me and Dad.

Hey Son, (Bobbby B)
As stated on the message you are the one and only,without a doubt. I am wearing your gold initial ring along with Nikki's. Today is not a good day I have your license in my wallet, I look at your picture and I see sad. I was so caught up in my grief and pain I really didn't see yours and that I will never forgive myself for. I let you down and I am sorry. Why is it I am finding out things now that I can't fix. I hope you are ok, really ok, give me a sign that you are. We will be up the mountains this weekend,stop by you and Nik although Nik will probably be down the shore in in florida, you can also visit Tracey,Matt, Bobby B, Hunter,Kelly and Matthew Jr down the shore. They would like that. Has Big Grandpop taken you fishing since you got there (is there fishing in heaven) I hope so. Give my mom a big hug and kiss for me. Til tonite sending you and Nik hugs from my heart........Mom

Hey Bobby B!!!!

I am not doing good right now. I have so much anger in me & I cant get it out. I am so mad that you Nikkers Big & Lil Gram & Pop are not here. I am so tired Bob. No one gets it. Just because they are ok I have to pretend I am? I am not. Kims viewing upset me so bad. I cant believe everyone is leaving. I am having issues in my life & it seems that as usual I am all alone. Not that its anything new. I hope you are at peace and that you & Nikki are doing the things you both love to do! Please tell every1 I said hello & I love & miss them all. Watch over Mommy & Daddy they are having a hard time they need your support. Adios Amigos

I got the most beautiful niece that lit my heart & the world and I have a brother that other sisters can only wish for. Thank you for being my brother and a man I am truly proud to say is my brother.

Hey Son,
Just me saying hi, I am sure you are happy with your condo or as we call it "the 808" Mike did a nice job painting it. Isn't Bobby B so darn cute. I am sure you and Nikki check in on him and his brothers. Also do you see how beautiful the girls are and how they are growing up. Kenna is at a tuff age and she giving her mom a hard time. Keep an eye on them also. I am trying to keep a happy face about Mothers Day for the others but it is hard . You are the first one to make me a Mom. And you gave me Nikki who was the first to make me a Grandmom I am so thankful for you, so proud of you and am so sorry I didn't realize how much you were hurting I guess I was to much thinking of me with my self. I know you are so very happy now with your daughter and best friend. Words cannot tell you how much I love you both and how proud of you both I am. Til later....................MOM

May 8, 2008

Dear Son, You know how much I love you and miss you and I can't stop thinking I could have saved you if I had only listened to my heart and not you when I would calll. I didn't help you Bobby and I have to live with that. I'm sorry,so sorry..................Mom

May 5, 2008

Hi Son, I sure hope you are ok with Michael moving into your condo. I think you are fine with it. He has painted just what you were doing and over the door he has put 808. That is was he calls it, he is going to 808, did I tell you in the morning when I look at the clock getting dressed it is always 808. How is Nikki , please give her a big kiss from me I know she knows how much we love her and miss her, as well as you. I had a bad day yesterday. I just feel so bad I didn't help you I should have ignored you telling us not to come down and just went. I wish I could change things so that you and Nik are back in my arms. Please give me signs from you and Nikki. Till later................Hugs from my heart, Mom

May 1, 2008

Hey Bobby B!!!!

Thats all you have ever wanted. I just want to tell you that I am sorry! Please be ok! I cry all the time because I feel bad. I wish I had 1 more time to talk to you. Thats why I say you never know what tomorrow may bring or take. Daddy gave me your masks I will take good care of them. I love them. I'd rather have my brother here but I will see you again that I know. I love my new career & I have the last message you sent me on my computer. I will cherish it forever.

To the Schwartz Family:
I just found out today about Bob. I know my name means nothing to you, but after you hear how I knew Bob and Nikki, it may refresh your memory. My daughter Jenn was on Nikki's Hulmeville soccer team for many years. Jenn and I hold the fondest memories of those years. Bob and I always hung out at practices.We would joke about our love lives, since we both were single. The girls' always thought we should get together, but he was just a really good friend and soccer companion on ALL those soccer torunaments! My best soccer memory is of Nikki and Bob and our trip to England. I dragged him around for a week. I am so grateful for the video i have of our trip. He was a really great friend during those years. in fact, i use to work at the Delta School in Parkwood, and he would visit me. We lost touch as the girls grew up. Jenn went away to college and Nikki did her thing. The last time we saw Bob was at Nikki's funeral. In my heart, i knew he would never be the same without her. He was a loving, devoted father. I am sure he is where he wants to be..with the love of his life, Nikki. I can't image what it is like to lose a grandchild, and a child. i just wanted to send this note on behalf of Jenn and myself. Our prayers are with you and your family. Love, Cindy

Hey Son
It was one month Sat. that you left us. I miss you so much, I think about you , how loving and caring you are and you were such a good person and what a rotten hand you were delt in life You of all people didn't deserve it. I only wish I could have done something to help you,in some way. The only thing that gets me through each day without you and Nik is that you are both together again.I have wonderful memories and beautiful pictures which I am so thankful for..My love for you two grows more each day and my missing you both hurts more each day. I try not to cry because it will make you both sad and I don't want that. Please give Nik a big hug and kiss for me. Sending you hugs from my heart..........Mom

Hey Bobby B!!!!

I missed that phone call today! I waited for you to call but I know if you could you would have. I miss the card game we played. Having our B-days so close was so special. We are both Aries & that meant we had a lot in common not just zodiac signs. You are the most compasionate, loving, honest,loyal and BEST brother friend father son cousin etc... anyone could have. I am so proud to say you are my older brother. I just wish I had a chance to tell you again. My birthday was ok. I worked & i am so tired. I wish I could hear you & Nikkers sing to me. I miss & love you all so much. One day we will be together again. Till then I know you 2 are keeping eachother & us safe!!!! As yousaid to me Adios Amigos!!!!

I Love ya!

To the Schwartz Family,
I was so saddened to learn of your loss. I did not learn of Bob's passing until after his services and I feel terrible that I was not able to personally say goodbye to Bob as well as pay my respects to your family. Bob and I were coworkers and friends. We worked together at SPIN for many years and we were neighbors on Harrow Rd. Bob you were such a great guy. You were full of love,compassion, friendship, dedication and respect. The only comfort that I find in your untimely passing is that you are together again with your daughter Nikki. I know you missed her terribly and struggled with her loss every second. You will be greatly missed. Your memory will live forever in my heart.

March 23, 2008

Hey Bobby B!!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

I know this is the best Easter you have had in 3 1/2 years. Enjoy your day with Nikkers!!!! I love & miss you both!

Love U

To the Schwartz Family,

George and I extend our deepest sympathy. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time...

"Safely Home"

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Melinda & Patrick Maloney

Dear Bob,

You were a great friend to me and as you so often stated to me when calling....S.I.L. this is F.I.L. You always delivered that line with so much dignity in your voice, with honor and love in memory of your Loving daughter Nikki when speaking to me.
I miss those talks we had, I will now communicate with you in our very own special way. In your memory I will never forget how you never forgotten anyone with your love, kindness, and on going friendship. What your family values are and how you managed to
always be "A TRUE GENTLEMAN"
A Special Friend to me. Not being able to text message you or call you as we always did will be difficult at first to understand, I already caught myself more than a few times starting to text you or dial your number but then realized I no longer can.....It's all good, I know you are laughing as I am telling you this, playing those pratical jokes on me as if you got me again. Both you and Nikki are getting me. I want you to know that my faith will be strong in knowing how much you have missed Nikki and how we talked, how you felt since her unfortunate mishap and her life being shortened, how some day you wanted to meet up with her again and embrace her in your arms and tell her Nikki, it's Dad, I am now home with you.
Bob, we will all miss you, my Mom and Dad, Sister and Family send their love to you and Nikki and Great Grandmother Schwartz. Please watch over your Mom, Dad and Family, protect and keep them all strong. Open you wings and keep them enlightened with your power as you shine down upon them. May you and all the Angels bless us, give us all the strength of peace and understanding. Bob I will never know your hurt and pain but I can tell you this that the honor in knowing you were very special, I have looked up to you from day one and will continue to do just that, you are the way it is suppose to be, A MAN'S MAN! A GREAT FRIEND THAT I WILL MISS AND THE FUN TIMES WE HAD I WILL ENDURE WITH ME FOR A LIFETIME!

May you rest in peace!
God Bless,
Love Ron

Hey Bobby!!!!

I never thought in a million years that I would be writing you like this! I am so sorry I couldn't help your pain. I know Nikki passing took your spirit. She was everything to you! I want you to know that I love you & I am so proud to say that you are my Big Bro! I hope you know how much I love you!
Heres a poem I wrote for you and I hope you like it!!!!


Nikki saw you getting tired,
When peace was not to be.
So she wrapped her arms around you, and whispered, "Come with me".
You didn't deserve what you went through, So she gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And now that you are sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again

You will always be "BOBBY B THE ONE & ONLY"
Mia misses you so much,but I will take good care of your little doggie like you always cared for me! I miss you Bobby and I got the message & I will keep it forever. Till I see you again Enjoy being with Nikki & all our family!
As you say to me.
Adios Amigo!
