Hey Brother, Sorry I didn't write this sooner. I've had a pretty rough year so far, but the Lord has me hanging on. Not sure what for lol.... But there is always a reason. Been missing you and everyone on the other side. I've been seeing a lot of Andy lately.... In my dreams. They are very detailed and can last for days. I'll wake up and the next time I go back to sleep, I just go back into the same dream. Kind of weird. It's like he's trying to tell me something. Maybe you could help him out. Lol. Love and miss you. Jo

I can't believe it's been almost 16 years since you passed. I was 10 when you left us and I'm 26 now, and I still think about you daily and wish more than anything that you could be here to see how well everyone is doing. You even gained two more great grand babies this year. I know you'd be so proud. I will never forget how much fun we always had, and I could only ever hope to be just half as cool as you were. I miss you so much and love you always.

Hello Bobby, time seems to be going by so quickly. I think more of our family is up there with you rather than here. All of our Aunt's are gone now. Sofie was the last. Only Uncle Richie is still here. I miss you and everyone so much. I try and keep my spirits up, but I'm so tired. This cancer and the pain has really kicked my butt. The best thing to do is wait on the Lord. I miss you brother. Put in a good word for me. Jo.

Hi Bobby, it's me again. I thought about you and Mom and Dad all throughout the day yesterday. My day was so full of appt's. That I fell asleep when I got home. Time has gone by so quickly. I can't believe 13 years ago you left us, but it was only 2 years since Mom joined you. And I can't seem to believe Andy is anywhere other than the dining room... I wish I could be with you all again. Miss you. Yor Sis, Jo.

Bobby,I spent yesterday thinking about the good times we had together. And wishing we could all be together again. I pray we see each other soon. Miss you,Jo.

Dear brother, I am sorry I missed your day I was sitting with our mother watching her take her final breath as a mortal soul. She passed into the world that is invisible only a week after you on April 21st 2017. There will never be another like Stella Monica Laskowski Mangan. I also lost Andy this year to cancer. I'm not sure how I have my sanity. Or even if I do have it. We will talk soon Bob, I love you Jo.

Dear Brother, have been thinking about you all week.Talking to you even though I know you probably hear me but can not breech that separation to talk back to me. Ten years seem to have flown by.....And I sometimes think I can call you on the east coast and ask if you want to go to Jai Ali.....I miss you,Bro. I still have things I need to talk to you about. So I hope we end up in the same place. Your sister, Jo

Well, Bob, looks like this will be my last chance to write to you, but not the last time to speak with you, which I do often and feel you are listening. As you know, Maine got dumped on with another snowstorm and I can hear you chuckling and saying, "God, I couldnt live there!" Until we meet again, Mustang, I will remember you always with love and a grin. Love, CHICKI

The few hours I spent with you and your family are priceless.It was nice knowing that someone was out there on the internet on my sleepless nights. I would always see your name pop up and feel a link with the rest of the family.

My dear Brother,I don,t know what to write, cause I don't know what to feel,or how to feel.except I feel numb.I'm grateful for the chance I had to spend some time with you just before you got sick,and after you got sick. And I'm very grateful to God that my last words to you were "I love you bro." and for your "Me too,sis." You will be in my heart always,your sister, JoAnne

"Darn it", Mustang, I really miss you. You left us too soon, but know you are up there watching all of us, which doesnt ease the loss of such a great friendship. I want so badly to pop in on you online and just yak with you as we always did and I cant....so as strange as it sounds, I talk to you anyways and know you are listening I know you are...you are always in my thoughts with your "chicken legs" and all. Rest in peace, Robert, but know how much you are missed down here by family and your long list of friends.

Memories, wonderful childhood memories when cousins came to visit. He will always be "Bobby" to me; I can still see him in backyard of the "PINK" House trying to understand a way of life that was foreign to anything he had ever known. It was truly an experience of "Stepping Back in Time," but he always remained In Step. Enjoying the change, embracing the differences. Accepting the uniqueness of another culture. Even as a younger girl cousin, I was in awe of the way Bobby joined in, and helped out with both chores and play. He had a special way of fitting in and making others feel accepted, comfortable and loved. Bobby was a Precious Soul.

I would that we could have known each other better in adulthood, but alas, "time and circumstances." Now, I look forward to that Wonderful Day when death shall be swallowed up in Victory. "And GOD shall wipe away all tears...; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things shall pass away...these words are true and faithful." And GOD Himself shall dwell with men. and be their GOD. Hasten The Day!

Bob-

You will be so dearly missed. I cannot even believe I will never see you again. I will miss our Disney trips and dancing with you at every party/anniversary. I love you. Mike loves you. And your granddaughters love you.

You will forever be in our thoughts.
