We miss you brother and are always on our minds and in our hearts.

Brother,
We may have grown apart as adults but the memories I have when we were kids I will cherish. Sometimes I sit back and wonder why I could not be more like you. The love and affection you showed for others always sending a card or something (who does that) my brother Adda. The smile on your face lets me know you are in a better place but I am selfish and I miss you. I do not question God but he took a good one from us too early.

Brother-in-law,
I cannot express in words how much you are missed. Your laugh, your smile, your voice will be in my heart and memory forever.
Thank you for being a loving uncle to my children, a loving brother to my husband and a loving brother-in-law and friend.
Your legacy will be carried on through the life of Ashley for whom we will watch over, protect and guide in your honor.
Rest in peace knowing you are loved and missed by so many. Our hearts are heavy but are comforted in knowing we will be together again someday.
Love you always,
Michele Addison

Wow! I cannot believe this...it saddens my heart, but then I know that he's with God brightening up heaven. He had a gentle and kind heart -- my Mom would tell me how he would take time to talk with her and when he would be on his walks he would make it a point to stop by to sit and talk with her and she loved it! His gentle heart and smile will be missed.
I connected back some time with Adda because he replied to one of my messages I wrote in someones guestbook and now I'm writing in his...
Maureen...my prayers go out to you and the family! May all of you find peace knowing that He's in good hands!!
Much Love...

I didnt make it to the services for my little friend, PouPou, but I remember him fondly. I remember went I to a diabetes seminar, and when he walked in I became excited and called him by the name I knew him as, being a young boy, PouPou, and, he hushed me, and said, my name is Robert. I laughed and called him, Adda, we laughed and things were just has he wanted them. He was no longer the baby I knew him as. I respected him as the young man I knew he would be. All good souls go to heaven. Rest as you deserve to be!!

"what moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
auntie rina, ashley & auntie karen,
words can't explain how deeply saddened we are about the loss of not just a friend but someone who was like family to us. he will be truly missed but always remembered. I'll never forget his red taurus, the sleepovers, ash getting her hair braided, tara not being able to say his name and called him "adam". nothing but good memories. we know hes in a better place smiling down on us. you guys are in our prayers !

Goodbye Friend
To Bob we must say goodbye. You wouldn't want to hear us cry. A sweeter man we've never met. In our hearts we'll never forget. The Angels came to take him home. Now we are left on earth to roam. His time was long, yet seemed too short. To memories now we must resort. For everyone he had a smile, and he loved to sit and talk awhile. Now in our hearts Bob still lives on. Until our time on earth is gone. Then once again we'll join our Friend. Together in time that will never end. In memory of Robert Addison.

To Rana & Family:
My "Adda" my angel is home with the Lord our God smiling as always...I want you to know that God is with you no matter what. He is stronger than the challenges in front of you. You can Trust Him! Even though you cannot see how your story will turn out, know that the end is in His Hands. I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
A message from Adda: A Poem...
I'll be seeing you;
I'm at rest, so don't cry
It will be easier as time goes by. I've done my best to live a good life. For I knew if I did I would be with God.
As my body lies there, it's only a shell,
God has called me home and my job I've done well.
Just know that I'm happy and very content,
For the things I've done wrong I have repent;
As I see your faces that made me sad. But I have made it, for that I'm glad!
You know and I know that it's hard on earth,
So you shouldn't cry at death, but at birth.
I have no more worries, pain or fear, Because I'm with God, so dry your tears.
I love you all and this is what I want you to do...
Put God first in your life and
"I'll be seeing you!"
"Thank You Adda for loving me." We will miss you down here but will rejoice again in heaven.

To the Addison family,
There are no words to express the sadness that is felt here at Telecommunications in Brown University. Bob was a part of our family and will be missed so very much. He was a special person with a wonderful soul and lord knows, Bob always had the best gossip for us, he always left us with a smile on our faces. To his daughter, all I can say is that your dad was so very proud of you and you were the light of his life. He talked of you so often and you brought nothing but happiness to his life. I'm sure right now he is sitting in a circle of angels making them all laugh with his funny story's. May god be with you all and hold you in his loving embrace.
Keith Thompson
