How can you stop the rain from falling or the Sun from shining. They are constantly a part of life, like me I can't and will not stop keeping your memory alive.

10 years since you've been gone.
Mom...I miss you, I love you! Things are not the same

Today was rough mom... I wake up sometimes and I can't understand why you're gone! Every since you've been gone it feels like the void in my heart has gotten bigger. It's hard navigating through life knowing that at the end of the day you won't be there to tell you about it. I've felt so disconnected to everything around me, and its out of my control. I pray it gets better. I just long for the day we reunite and are able to catch up on the time we've been apart. It's hard writing this so I'll talk to you later. I love you, Eternally

Haven´t been on here in a minute. I think about you daily, i´m so hurt you left me. It´s been too long. I just want to hear from you one more time Almost 9 years, & this still doesn´t feel real. I know you are happy and pain free, I wish I could say the same. I really wanted you to meet my brother kole. IM SO HURT. I thank God for my Grandpa for being so strong and helping me and my mom & brother. I really love you unconditionally. I´ll see you soon.

Tamara

January 4, 2023

I´m never on here much but think about you often. You have been on my mind so heavily. I still can´t believe how fast you were here and then gone. Our last talk you told me you would be coming home in 2 weeks and exactly 2 weeks later you left this earth. Some days I feel lost and confused and others I feel I have no other choice but to understand. Life goes by so quick. I just wish I could have done better, shown you better, or learned better while you were still here. Just to hear your voice once more would do me just fine as well. What if There was more I could of done for you is all I think about. Pablo is 5 now I wish he could have met you. But Thank you soo much for everything, for being apart of my life for as long as you were. Coming up on 9 years now Wow. I will be ok I pray that... I love you Forever! XOXO

I think of you so often. I truly miss you!! I miss our calls & we would reminisce on all the good times we had and how much we would laugh till we cried talking about the "good old days". I have as of yet to have a friendship like ours. It was unbeatable. I am so happy I have those memories to go back to. I miss you & love you.

Hey meme, I know you're having an amazing time in heaven. With your mom, brother, and others.. we truly miss you a lot, me and kamari was just talking about you and reading papers that we wrote too you, papa still has all of your glasses and shoes,lol. We was trying them on! That's my favorite picture of us. I love and miss you. Continue to watch over us, i love you.

Kristy Robertson

January 22, 2022

Hey mom! It's been 8 years without you, I can't believe how time has flown by. Time is truly like the wind. I have trouble with coping with you not being here many days, it still seems so unfair. Why my mom? I find myself asking internally. Though I can't question our Creator, he has a purpose for everything. I wish I had another 3am call just to see what I'm doing, or a mid day call just to talk to me about a random t.v show you watched. You always ended each call with an "I love you" I know the meaning of love because of you! I love you more and more, Miss you, Lady

Kamari Robertson

January 22, 2021

Meme, I love you sooo much !! I can’t believe you’re not here anymore !! I miss you more than you know and I know that you’re up in heaven watching over us . I love you !!

Kristy Robertson

January 22, 2021

Hey mom,(Lady). I think about you daily and speak to the kids about the things you taught us. The greatest thing that you can offer your children is Love and sacrifice. And that's exactly what you exemplified. 1 Corinthians states that "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres". Prime example was YOU!!! I will spend my life making sure my kids understand the concept of this. We miss you more than any words can express.. I love you, Always have, and Always will❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happy Birthday Mom! It was so nice seeing you earlier with everyone expressing how much they miss you! If I could spend everyday letting you know how much I love you trust me I do and will always. See you in my dreams for now and with our heavenly father later

Kristy Robertson

January 23, 2015

Hey Mom, I miss you so much!!! Sometimes its hard to even get through a day without you on my mind. Even if someone mentions you I find myself tearing up!!! I never thought I could ever cry so much. It truly saddens me that your new grandson Kole won't get to grow up with his Mimi in his life to show him the loving and kindness of a grandmother like you :-( . D'ahri missed you to and we always talk about funny things you did or said, and the types of foods you ate or movies you loved. I guess it safe to say that though your not here physically, you mean just as much to us now than ever! If I could give a message to God it would be that he has one of the most beautiful angels with him, and I understand why he would want you back :-) You know I talk to you all the time, so I'm sure you know my sadness as well as my love for you is INFINITE and will go on forever!!!I hope you smile when you look down at us in hopes when we will see each other again... Rest well mom, Love you!

It has been a while since I have visited this site to say something to you. Yet you are in my thoughts constantly and I say Hi daily. Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one. You were necessary in my life,like being able to see, or breathe. If I decide to share my remaining life with another it does not mean that you will be forgotten. You are in my heart forever my sweet Alma. God brought you home with him,but God is so awesome he took the time to bless me by putting you in my life, to share and love me for half of my life. You made a difference in it beyond measure. The world itself was a better place. Miss you Alma Robertson, from husband Rommell Robertson. Love Always

I wish heaven had a phone so I could call and hear your voice. I think of you every day, not just today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often call your cell. Only to realize you're no longer here to answer my call.All I have are memories and pictures of you in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never forget. God has you in his arms, But I have you in my heart always...

To my Dear, Dear friend, you were more like a sister than a friend. I remember all the good times we had growing up in the neighborhood, hanging out, going to school. School was a breeze because we added so much fun to it. I remember all the good times we had going out, partying and working together. We got our first jobs together, interviewed together and hired together,(that was different.) I remember we would go shopping for outfits for the weekends. We would go shopping on different days and different times looking for something to wear, we would find something really cute, then we would call each other so excited about what we found, then come to find out we had picked the exact same outfit, same color, same style. We would just fall out laughing and say "we are just going to be the "Boppsie Twins". And that is just what we were nicknamed too. we were always asked if we were twins, or sisters or cousins. We would call each other and reminisce about the past, about all our adventures, partying and good clean fun together. Your girls grew up listening to us on the phone laughing and talking about our fun times. I could just go on and on about the past. I will miss you so, so much. I love you. My condolences and sympathy goes out to your family, Rommell, your girls, Ms. Emma Lee,(my second Mom), and Freddie(my brother), ALL of your family and friends. May God Bless and comfort you.I do hope to see you again, until then I reluctantly say goodbye..

I would like to take time out to give my many thanks to family and friends who have given their condolences for the loss of my wife Alma. I truly appreciate it, she often asked about my brothers and my sister and their children and spouses. Also my friends and other family members. She was concerned,very kindhearted,I soon realized over the years that I was in the presence of a compassionate woman. She would say to me "come here man and give some sugar", grab me around my neck and kiss me. She also would share that sentiment to my daughters,and her grandchildren. I am so thankful that God allowed me the time that I shared with Alma 32 years. We had a few speed bumps, but some good laughs,many grand smile of hers, and some really good times together. In this pathway thru life Alma captured the one; greatest of all virtues, the ultimate goal we all seek to obtain "Love". She helped me transcend my faults and to become a better man over the years. In closing thanks again in showing your affection to my wife Alma whom God called her home,Bye for now and I'll see you later their wife and may God bless you.

Mom, you have know idea how much i miss you! No one could ever comprehend the type of relationship we had. Who got our jokes but us? Who would play the best pranks on dad better than us? he never knew that it was me and you calling his job pranking him...lol.. who would i call whenever i couldn't sleep and had no one to talk to? And who was always there by my side whenever i had no idea what to do next? The answer is you!! No matter what i may had done or said that never stopped your love from continuing to flow. You never had a problem with showing me love though i wasn't with all that "mushy stuff" i would give in from time to time lol... Basically mom, i just want you to know that no a day goes by that i'm not thinking of you.. right now the tears are welling up in my eyes but i know that you are where no man shall ever want again and that makes me hopefull that i will see your beautiful face in heaven again!!! Love You Mommie :)

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to
be. So He put His arms around you and
whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we
watched you, and saw you pass away. Although
we loved you dearly, we could not make you
stay. A golden heart stopped beating,
hardworking hands at rest. God broke our
hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
