Robert was one of the best men I have ever known. He was loyal, kind, and trustworthy. He loved his family deeply and always made me feel as though my family was part of his. Glennis, Joyce, James, we will miss him dearly, but I know that Robert will always be there in our hearts and in our thoughts cheering us on until we meet again.

Good bye Brother...

Robert and I grew up together on Stonecrest street in Houston. We had many fun times together especially running around town after those Waltrip football games. I haven't seen or spoken to Robert since high school, but he will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May God bless you and strengthen you through these difficult times.

You will truly be missed Robert! I thank god for the pleasure of working with you. You were not only a great person, but a great supervisor as well. You were there for me while I was going through the hardest time of my life. One thing you always said was that everything would be ok and god had a reason for everything. Therefore, I must believe that god knew what he was doing when he allowed you to leave this earth. You were an angel when I worked with you and you are an angel now! R.I.P Robert… You will surely be missed! God will take care of your family...

Glennis,
For some reason Robert's picture in the paper today caught my attention. As I read about him and saw your name, I realized that this was your family. I immediately called Julia and she was saddened, as was I. We send to you our love and prayers. As I read what people are writing about your husband, he was a wonderful person. Julia, Johnny and I are here if you need anything. Even though our lives do not touch, we will hold you close during this time.

When I heard of your passing it felt as someone had kicked me in the gut. Although I have not seen you in as many years, I remember you well. A few of us old co-workers gathered today to remember our time together with you and each other. It is truly a shame it takes such a tragic moment in time to bring together old friends to remember the good we all once shared. You will be missed greatly and I will pray for your family during their time away from you. We will meet again one day.

One of the best cousins ever... It is hard to know you are no longer with us. You always had a ready smile and kind words for me when it seemed no one else did. And when the family seemed at each other's throats, you were a good friend as well. I will miss you so much. Rest in peace and know that you have always been loved.
Glennis, my heart goes out to you now. May you find comfort in knowing that Robert was loved by many, and that he cannot hurt any more. May he watch over you and his mother until it is time to meet again.
Aunt Joyce, I know your heart must be breaking right now. I wish a gentle peace for you where you feel Robert's love still surrounding you. I know he will continue to watch over you, his loving mother. You raised a wonderful man and I know he would want you to be happy, for there is no more pain and suffering. Only love, which carries on forever.

To the family, it will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
