I didn´t know Robbie, but I wishI did. I prayed for Robbie with all the community of Westfield to be brought back home safe and sound but sadly that wasn´t the outcome. I´m sure Robbie is in Heaven, his new home now. May Robbie rest in peace now. May God bless his family at this sorrowful time.

Robert,
Twenty years ago when you were my student at Juniper Park I knew you were an extremely smart little boy. You cried when you found out you had to move on to Middle School, but from reading your obituary I realize that you grew into an intelligent, and compassionate man.
Fly high, my dear.
Love,
Theresa

I will never forget little Robbie who came to our tag sale every day and asked for all of the toys we were selling. How could you ever say no to that cute little face. We gave him every single toy we had.
Since then, I see him every day walking on Montgomery street. He would always put a smile on your face, like a ray of sunshine.
May he rest in peace.
