Hey bud. I can't wrap around my brain that tomorrow will be 17 years. You are so loved and missed. I would kill for one more day at Ruby Tuesdays after work. The laughs were unlimited, special and unforgettable. Please know that I am
So grateful for our friendship that may have changed in the physical world, but never in my heart.
Love and miss you brother.
Keep watching over us.

It is so hard to believe that it has been 15 years of missing you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don´t think of your personality, wit, and beautiful smile. Both mom and dad are with you now. I miss all three of you more than words can say but I know you are together and looking after my family. Your nephew is engaged! Justin is getting married next year and he´s so happy! Your goddaughter/niece Haley graduated from Temple University. We all miss and love you, especially your big sis!

I read this and INSTANTLY thought of you! Love you

God's Garden
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.

So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.

Luke Gillespie

Just thinking about you when I need to think back and laugh..You are sooo missed..Sunday night dinners are not the same:-))))

July 13, 2011

Diane, Julie and Kim are among many who will always hear the sound of your voice in their heart. So enjoyed their messages. Every time I say to someone, "Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?" it is YOU speaking. Or I hear of a extremely sad situation, i.e. refugees starving, and in a moment of trying to lighten the air say, "Well, as long as we have enough food." You're wit and humor have touched so many FOREVER!

I smiled today when I read Julie write "There she is"... I heard that too many times to count as well. I think of you often, and it is hard for me to be in Stone Harbor without you there. Those were the days, you would make me cry laughing every single day. I miss you so much. xoxo

Rob, I miss you. Yesterday on my way down to Stone Harbor I was approaching the bridge and I immediately thought of you. It occured to me right away that for some reason the past few times I have driven down it is at that exact spot you come to mind. I can't figure out why it is that spot... but I know with every bit of me that YOU ARE THERE. I stopped at the courts and let my kids get out and run around and I told them about all of the nights you and I spent talking about EVERYTHING sitting there... night after night...year after year. My Summers will never be the same without you.. Godspeed my friend. xoxo

February 15, 2010

Dear Rob . . . How often we not only think about you, but talk about you with fond memories. You are so precious to us and always will be! I jumped in you book to read Diane's message on 02/14! What a testimony their messages are to how important you are in the lives of Diane, Julie,and others. Love, Aunt Karen

Hi Robbie,
Well, this is the second time I've tried to reach you in cyberspace. So we try again.
It doesn't seem possible that you've been gone this long, well over a year now, but here we go again.
I have so many little memories of you, mostly as a little boy. Let's go back a bit. Being born, of course, such a beautiful God-child you were, and always so happy!
Some things you did as you began to grow. How about the time you tried to check out my dog's, (Spunky), rear end to see what was up there, or when you got out of the house early in the morning and rode your tricycle around the block without any underpants on and the neighbors saw you and called your mom!
Do you recall sitting at the kitchen counter with Dawn and drinking hot tea with lots of sugar, a nightly ritual when I was sitting. How about all the Christmases sitting on the red couch with Dawn and I and watching Rudolph and that scarey Snow Monster or Santa Clause Is Coming To Town with that mean Winter Warlock, you two were really anxious about those "baddies"!
Now to Valley Forge! You spent a weekend with me, playing and laying of the floor with my beautiful dog, Pepper, you really liked him.
I forgot to mention your Christmas show in pre-kinder-garten and you were one of the best singers, maybe about four years old, I have that on film somewhere.
I guess what I remember most about your teen time, I didn't see you much then but you spent one week-end house and dog sitting. Some of your friends called and wanted to come over and "party"!
You really showed your character then when you told them "no way". That little conversation was on the answering machine and how I knew about it. What a guy you were! Even as you got older you showered fun and pleasure in so much you did.
I really can't bring to mind much more, coming onto 70 years and all's not quite as clear as once was.
Miss you, buddy.
Love, love, love from Jackie.

Diane Danforth-Wysocki
