It´s in moments like these that words fall short and wish I could have spent time with you. It was a great honor to have known you and to call you, my cousin. I will always remember your incredible sense of humor that I am sure everyone is already missing. I don't know where we go after this life, but I´d like to imagine a sunny day of fishing as you catch up with everyone who loves you in Heaven! We all already miss you down here.

Robert, you will forever be my hero. You fought cancer so bravely, so hard and you kicked its butt. God has taken you home and freed you from your pain. Rest easy mi hermano, mi hero, mi soldado y besos de tu hermana mayor. Love you forever.

Tio, you are so dearly missed down here. You will never be forgotten. Your name speaks with many stories here in our household. We laugh we cry, and sometimes we realize that´s what we have left. But those memories will forever be cherished and I will hold on tight to some of the best childhood and adulthood memories I have of you. So many stories to tell that I don´t even know where to start lol but know we miss you dearly and keep an eye on us all down here. Your Rhonda Fish
