To Daisy, Lelah and the entire Baxter family. We share in your sorrow at the passing of our beloved Rob. He was always Rob no matter how many years passed between our seeing each other. He was funny and loving and he will be missed. Just remember God has plucked another one of his children from the garden. And we shall see again in Glory

Joe, Daisy, Bae, Lela, Johnnie, Mary Ellen & the entire Baxter/Hollis family we just wanted everyone to know that your family here in Michigan mourns with you the loss of cousin Rob. The Lord said "judge not less ye be judged". Our hearts are saddened we wish we could be there with you, remember we are with you in spirit. The last time we were home for the Family Reunion, we partied "under the hill" as we called it. Although we don't get home often we are "Uncle Pate's kids" & are treated like Royalty. The love we feel from all of you spans many miles. Cousin Rob will be missed here on earth but we know Aunt Ellen & Uncle Homer are looking after him now. Stay strong family & we love you all. The Hollis Family, Saginaw Michigan.
