It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light."

I am who I am in part because of the family that was a part of my childhood. The Compitello family added a richness to my early days I will not be able to count. Robert was a cousin and dear companion in our earliest days and his loss is felt deeply. Let us grieve together. Someday we will grieve less and be able to celebrate his memory more.

I will never forget the day Dad called to wish me happy birthday and said surprise you have a little brother born on Halloween. I will cherish the small amount of time we had together and regret we didn't have more. You're with Dad now and one day we'll all be together in Heaven. Rest in peace, little brother.

Iris,Suzanne, and Family
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know Robert, but if he was anything like his Mother and Sister, he had to have been a very caring person and fun to be around. May God comfort you in your grief and the knowledge that we will all be reunited with our loved ones in a better place.
Sincerely,
Shelby
