5 years ago God took you, because he always takes the best. I miss you calling me and trusting me to always being there when you needed to talk to me, and telling me how much you loved my niece. You are so missed and loved!!

Rob,
I wish I could hug you one more time, tell you one more time how thankful and grateful I am for you and for what we built together. If people knew how much I missed you, they would wonder how am I still breathing. Living without you is numbing and I am struggling. Every day I wish you were here to give me a hug and tell me everything will be alright. Thank you for showing up in your favorite spot so that I see you when I needed to see you. Please show me more that you are with me. I am not the same since you left. It hurts even on a good day. Time will never make this pain go away. I love you and pray you are happy with what is going on down home. Love you forever, Carol.

Rob,
Not fair, without you. It hasn't gotten easier, it's gotten more and more difficult living without my best friend. I miss your smile, your hugs, your loudness even when you didn't think you were speaking that loud! I miss your hand holding mine, there are no words to describe the protection I felt from you. I miss your sweet words, compliments, reassurance, love. I miss your love, hugs and kisses. You are one of a kind. Your strength, love, stubbornness, sense of humor, when you would lean in to listen what I was saying because I was speaking so softly, you would tell me you can't hear because of your construction career. I miss your kindness, your love. Most of all, I miss your hugs. Thank you for our boys, I see you in them every single day. You would be so amazed at how many of Connor's mannerisms are so like yours! I don't want it to be 2 years tomorrow that you're gone because someday there will be more time without you then with you. Those times you asked me to just lay there with you while listening to that song...wish we did that so much more. I MISS YOU. I LOVE YOU.

48 today, I miss you so much. I miss your amazing touch, your beautiful words, your thoughtfulness, you noticing something new I was wearing, your perfect cards, notes, driving with you to wherever, that GMC grill pulling in the driveway, you riding off for you time, your hands, your hugs, watching Hallmark movies with you, watching the Notebook with you....again and again. Happy Birthday to you, the best man ever. Gets more difficult everyday without you. I love you, hope you saw your ice cream cake, Connor picked out the color of writing Happy Birthday Daddy. Robert played you a tune on his recorder that he brought home yesterday from school. All my love forever, I LOVE YOU. Princess

I would give everything to hear your voice again. It's been a year, I feel my heart breaking everyday. I miss your voice, your hands holding mine, your love notes, your encouragement, sound of your truck driving into the driveway after work. I miss you so much. I feel like it's just a nightmare and that it can't be real but then you're not there. I am grateful for our boys to push me through each minute. I just hope I will see you again. I love you so much. So much LOVE, friendship and simple moments we had. So angry you're not here anymore. I miss you and LOVE you so much. Please stay with me and guide me. Connor said to me yesterday, "ME go get Daddy and bring him home!" as we were playing on the kitchen floor. I said , "I wish." Rob, you truly are the best, most empathetic, most compassionate, most loving, most intelligent on all levels, person I've ever known. Thankful to have been the one you loved for the rest of your life.

Barbara, I just heard today of the loss of your son. I know there are no words that can help at a time like this so I am not going to even try. I lost my middle daugter on September 13th, not long after your loss. I am still barely making it through some days. Prayers coming your way from me to you...Bev Sawyer

Uncle Rob, I can't believe this happened to you. Your not gone, your looking down and I'm looking up. I miss and love you with all my heart and soul I love your passion with Harley-Davidson motorcycles,and I miss you beyond words. I remember how much you loved that pool. I loved everything about you. You will never be forgotten and I will never feel better that you are gone or at least that I can't hug you in person. I love you.
Love,
Elena ♥❤

Rob,
I truly do not believe you are gone. I miss you more than words can say. My heart hurts so bad, it is broken. Our memories, so many amazing memories, are what I think about constantly. I will do the best job I can raising our boys. They will always know what a great Daddy they have. Looking back, 29 years really flew by. I wish I could press pause on so many moments. I love you, us and am so proud to have been your wife! Thank you for all your handwritten notes and cards!! The outpouring of love and support shown from all the people that came to your wake and funeral is humbling. You have made relationships with great people that will look after your family. Again, always taking care of us. You are loved by so many because of the person you are. Truly humbled.
I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU.

Simple moments I miss!!
