Rob, there is a light you left behind in the shadows when you departed this world. Shadow cannot exist without light. I find your light every time I pick up a guitar or write lyrics or poems. The following poem was written for you and a host of others I loved so much who passed away in December. Your light lives on in all of us that you had to leave behind in your passing. I will carry it with me wherever I may go. Miss you, old friend.
Still #2
Let me not be judged
By this last quarter mile
But upon all the roads
In between,
The places we traveled,
The smiles we gathered,
Candelight dinners,
A laugh or two
In a crowded bar.
When the music
Danced in our eyes
And in our heads,
The days we survived
On a wing and a prayer
But found happiness
In each given moment,
And upon those blessed years
When we thrived,
When we blossomed
Under the sun,
And dreamed
Under the stars and moon.

I always thought we would have the opportunity to play guitars and sing again together, God had other plans unfortunately, I just know that you and Ric are playing together again up there and making beautiful music. So very long ago, we all made some great music together...it made such a huge difference to me as we were growing up, and I know it did for you and Ric too...I love you, Rob, and I will miss you much too much, my dear friend. Give Ric a hug for me too!

Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss of your Son Rob, I know Rob is with his brother { I hope having a jam session together} I remember so many fun memories of many weekends playing pool, listening to Rob and Ric play guitar together in your Garage and the happy times Beckie and I spent having all night girls night with you Sandy . I hope happy memories will help with your grief. My prayers to you.
