To Alyssa, Arianna and Rob's Family,

We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss.
May his presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give.

Robert Davis, My brother, my friend. I met Robert when I was a young girl abot 10 years old. He used to chase me accross Canonby court with an old shopping cart all the way to the end of the woods. LOL Me, Tamia, Kawanna, and the other kids... we would run, "Stop Rob, you play too much..." we would yell at him as we ran. As I grew a little older and became interested in some of the boys in the neighborhood he was there watching over me like a brother. Watching me as I came from the bus in South Park with my frineds, thinking that the boys in the neigborhood just wanted to talk. He stayed near by and warned me about the bad boys, and watched over my home when my mom worked the late night, making sure to keep those "boys" away. When my mother and I moved out of Canonby to the Hilltop, Rob came with us, he lived in our home for about a year, where we had many funny memories. Like the snowball fight inside that broke my mamas window, and taken my momma's boyfriends clothes to wear to school and putting them back before he knew we wore them. :) And ofcourse the times when I though I was grown and I called myself running away... he waited with me at the bus stop telling me how stupid I was, I left anyway... but when I came back he told me about my self. HAHA, and then he made me laugh about it. I went away to college and didn't see Robert much for those 4 years. But when I did come back and find him it was like no time had passed at all, and we went righ back to our old time banter, him talkin mess as usual. I was married on September 2nd 2005, and I knew I could count on him to be there. He was, and with a big grin, said, "I can't wait to talk to that crazy man who would marry you!" Right at my wedding he was talking stuff. :) That was Rob though. I had not seen him since my wedding only passing me as he drove down the street and blew the horn. On my 2nd Wedding Anniversary God took him away. My strong faith tells me not to be angry at God for taking him away that morning, and that everything is God's will. I can accept that my brother is in a better place, free of pain, and back with his sisters B&V. I know the angels were happy to have him join heaven's choir, though we feel sorrow for our loss. I asked God what am I to take from this...? What is the lesson? My message is to live a righteous life so that when I am called home, I can see Rob and other loved ones again. And to cherish the time that we have here on earth and the time we have to share with one another, because that time is precious and not promised. So for me though I am sad, I take the lesson and I wake up a little earlier, and I am not passing up the chance to go and visit or to call, or to tell people how much I care because you just never know... To the rest of the family, I know your hearts are heavy, but keep your faith in the will of the Lord and once the grieving is over look to God for the lesson that he is trying to teach you, and transfer the love for Rob to other family, and loved ones. And don't be afraid to smile or crack a joke, and continue to lift his spirit in your heart, in conversations and in life. He will live through us. We all have piece of Rob left with us. Peace and Love
