Hello my brother. Hello my good friend.
This morning I tuned in the live broadcast of the 9/11 memorial service in Manhattan and was able to hear your name read aloud. Thirteen years now and I still tear up. There is some solace knowing you have family and friends who remember you many more times throughout the year, than only on this sad anniversary. Thoughts of you continue to enter my mind almost daily. I often think about how much better my life would have turned out had you been allowed to live yours. I miss you Bob and I always will.

I had a dream (visit) from my friend Bob the eve of the 11th...It was as if we had just seen each other the other day..he looked wonderful, young and so very happy..I do not remember much about the conversation, I just remember his huge smile, sparkling presence and this unbelievable *aura* of happiness and light surrounding him. I believe he wanted me to let his family & friends know that he is safe and well and is with you always...God Bless...

I don’t know if you are Roberts wife or another relative, however this past August I partook in an amazing journey with Robert next to my heart the entire time. I rode in the Americas 9/11 foundation 10th annual motorcycle ride. Roberts name was the one given to me to ride for. I started in Leesburg, VA and rode to Shanksville, PA where we laid a wreath in honor of those victims and then continued on to Washington, DC and did the same for the victims of the Pentagon site. From the Pentagon we rode into NYC almost 3,000 strong to pay our respects at ground zero. This journey was not only humbling but so meaningful I will never forget it as long as I live. For the entire 4 day ride, I do not believe an entire mile passed without someone stopping on the side of the road, standing on a bridge or overpass, and even sitting in traffic who didn’t wave an American flag or hold up a sign that they will never forget. I had Robert with me in my heart and his card with me the entire ride. At points riding for that distance and for that long was very painful, but I just kept thinking that I was sure all of Roberts family and friends would have taken on that discomfort 10 times over to have him back. So in my mind it was a small sacrifice to pay to honor one of our American heroes. I Keep Roberts card in my office on my desk and see it every day. I know it’s not much but even 10 years later Robert is not forgotten even by a complete stranger and I hope that gives you some comfort. My condolences and may his memory live on forever.

Respectfully,

Chris Martin

Theresa,

I don't know if you remember me. I worked for Bob in the mailroom at Hess around 1991-1993. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about Bob. He and I both loved the New York Rangers. I will miss him. I am now a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and will be praying that God will remove the pain from you and your family's hearts.

My prayers go out to the family of Robert Allan Hepburn. I'm a graduating senior this year and in rememberance of the people who died on that tragic day one year ago, my school gave each student a bracelet and on that bracelet was a name of a person who died. Well, the bracelet I got today had Robert Allan Hepburn's name on it. May God bless his family and bless all the people who lost their lives that fateful day.

On this somber day with ceremonies and bells I remember You and your family. I think of you Often and hope you and your girls become stronger every day. I knew you through your brother and attended your wedding with him. The best man speech that his brother gave him is to this day the best I've ever heard. I only knew him briefly but remember what a great guy he was.

May your girls bring you a lifetime of joy and carry on his legacy. Every time they smile he too will be smiling.

Dear Mrs. Hepburn & Daughters,

During Advent our church, St. Peter the Apostle/Shrine of St. John Neumann errected a manger near the altar with paper doves containing the names of those no longer with us after the 9/11 tragedy. Your husband's name was on the one I randomly chose and I continue to pray for him as well as the wellbeing of you and the children. Email me if I can help. Stay strong & God Bless, Linda La Rose

Dear Therea, Allyson and Jennifer:



My sincere condolences in your loss. I never knew Robert personally, but took the same train he did from the Roselle Park, NJ train station to NYC every morning. I admired and couldn't help notice how attentive he was to you, Allyson and Jennifer. He had a tremendous amount of love for you guys. Nothing I say will help alleviate your pain and suffering. I just wanted you to know that I shall always aspire to be the same loving husband and father he was. Feel free to write and let me know if there is anything I can do to cheer up your day.



Warmest regards,

Robert Colonna

We are very sorry for your loss of Robert. May his happiness, his life and love continue living in those who love him. Our hearts cry with you in your loss of Robert.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Love,
