Remembering Rob3...
It's been 19 days at this writing, since Rob went to Heaven.
It doesn't seem to get much easier. Many e-cards that I have not been
able to find time or strength to see, have expired now. Sorry for those
who sent them, but, your thoughts are appreciated just the same. I am
still trying to get to emails when I am up to it & I put them here as
a remembrance for myself, but, also for others who are grieving. Many have
written from Rob's & my own newsletters. People are praying, encouraging,
sending much love. Some have even made me smile at the thoughts of Rob
being handed over a Chefs hat as soon as he got to Heaven. We all know he's
cooking with Curry in that case:) One lady wrote how he loved all his readers
& welcomed EVERYONE to his LiveAndLetLive newsletter, no matter what
their handicap. Well, Rob was like that. No one got left out of his life
when they needed or wanted help & support. His Rob's Cooking Pot readers
are sad for losing his recipes & humour. It was a time of day I always
looked forward to...proof-reading his news. Whatever entered his head,
went on the newsletter & I sometimes laughed till I cried at some
of his antics. Our place was full of love & laughter, regardless of all
the sickness. I sure miss that. Much love to all...Patsy

Hi Patsy,
I was so very sorry to hear Rob had
passed.
I truly enjoyed his sense of humor, and looked
forward to his little life story every week.
I know how hard this must be for you, and
will keep you in my prayers.
Be strong my Friend, Rob is watching over you,
and some day you will be together again.
I will miss his stories, and hope that some day
when your feeling better, you will take over, and
finish his week to week novel.
I pray the Lord gives you the strength to get through
this trying time.
Blessings, Barb from Butler, Pa

this difficult time.

I absolutely just love your newsletters.
I look forward to them every day. You are the best.
I was so very sorry to hear about Rob. I know I e-mailed him many
times with little problems, etc. And I loved his newsletters, also. We
discussed my dying when I had my heart attack, and he told me that God
had other plans for me in this world, and I would know what they were,
eventually. I really miss the conversations with him, the advice, the disabled
NOT. He was a truly wonderful beautiful man. I know he is sitting there
in heaven with the Good Lord and having a wonderful time. God needed him
apparently more than we did. He wouldn't have taken such a cherished man
away if He didn't need him in heaven. God bless all of you, and keep you
safe til you all meet again. Don't forget, Rob is watching.
Love you.

Dear Patsy&Kay,
Just wanted to email you to let you both know i'm thinking
about you. Your in my thoughts and my prayers.I too Kay, lost my Daddy
years ago and we were very close, so I really understand how you feel.Time
heals all wounds, makes it easier to deal and to live with. I cannot say
I know how Patsy feels as my husband is still with me but I do know as
long as you all hold him dear into your hearts,he will never die. I always
think of all the good times we shared and that always helps me get thru the
bad times.My Daddy has been dead now for 20 years and sometimes it feels
like it just happened yesterday. And I talk to him quite alot too which helps
me. But like I said always keep him in your heart and he will always be with
you. If at any time you need a friend to just chat with please feel free
to email me any time. As I said you and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love&Prayers, Drema

Patsy I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing,

Love and Hugs puzzledteddy

Patsy;
May God bless you. Just remember that when you feel
you can't go on, ask for his help. That is exactly
what I did when I lost my husband 3 years ago. But I
had to move on for our 3 children. At the time 6, 2
1/2 and 14 months. Just talk to Jesus and Rob. They
will listen.

Dear Patsy - I am devastated by your loss.
When you're alone on the computer, you don't speak.
Then, all of a sudden, you yell "Oh, no, no." Thank you for
sharing your lives with those of us whom
you've never met, yet whom you've touched. For those of us who are
alone and don't get out much,
your lives are an adventure. Oh, the places you've been! Rob is now
in a place beyond pain and
suffering. Thank you for sharing the moments. May you be comforted
in the darkest hours knowing
that the light of the Spirit lives on. Thinking of you with heartfelt
sympathy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Andrea F

Dear Patsy
I was away during the Holidays and just returned home and reading
my
e-mails. I am so sorry to hear about Rob passing away (and going
to Heaven, I'm
sure). We went to Tn and then NJ to be with family for the holidays.
And while there, I got very sick and we had to come home early.
So I
havent Had a chance to be on the computer.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Please, please keep up your e-mail letters as soon as you are able
to.
I enjoy every one of them And I enjoyed Robscookingpot so very much.
I laughed at some of them so hard.
I have used several of his recipes and kept a lot of his letters
on
file. So now I will have them.
My sincere condolences go out to you and yours.
Do you plan to live on there in Newfoundland?
Please let me hear from you when you feel up to it.
With love and prayer.

OMG Patsy I am sooo sry . My computer
was down and I didn't get this email til now Wed. the 14th. WOW I can't
tell you how my heart bleeds for you . I too lost my husband in 98 and
the is no pain less bearable then this. I still greive for him everyday
that part will never go away but somehow you will find your way thru to

My husband was also a writer and I have all his writings in
a couple of folders. I have yet to put it together. But I do know he

If there is anything you want or need you may email me at anytime
if I can help or you just wanna talk to someone who has been thru what
you are going thru I truly will understand and remember no matter what you
feel it's the right thing.
Love and prayers your friend Carol

I got all his news & even though
I never met him ,he made me feel
important. He made it known that being disabled did not make you
weak, it
made you stronger. I won some of his candy once & I felt lucky.
From you, I
have learned it was a blessing, joy and yes even weird times for
each
other, but yet it seemed a bond of Love only you two knew. He was
a
Husband, father, friend & most of all courageous man. Heaven
is lucky to have
an new angel named Rob. I am so proud to say in a way I knew him
& if you
need a friend I'm here. God Speed Rob & spread that joy. I hope
Patty this
doesn't make you sad, but helps you smile.
><((((º>.·´¯
You have my condolences. I've tried some
of Rob's recipes and was always quite pleased. We all will miss him.

Since you sent out the message regarding
Rob going to Heaven, I have
included you in my prayers. I wish there were some magic words I
could share
to help take away some of the emotional turmoil you must be going
through.
Unfortunately I don't have any, but I will continue to keep you in
my
thoughts and prayers. LouAnn M

Patsy and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Rob, These are the first
e-mails I have recieved from you since sometime last year, I couldn't
figure what happened, So please except my sorrow for your family.
Patsy I know what you are going through and it is going to be hard
to get over, you never do. When you feel down, talk to Rob. He is listening
to you and misses you. I lost my husband 3 1/2 years ago, and even though
I have met someone, I still talk to him and ask for help. TAlk to him
with your family, anything will help. You have a lot of people behind you
and you are in our prayers. Lots of love to you

It is still very hard for me I cry for
you I guess because every time i look at your picture i cry. I have your
name on the prayer list at church and i pray for you daily. I dont even
like to get on this thing since i read that e-mail. But I guess life goes
on and Rob would want us to talk about the good things and laugh instead
of being sad I am so honored to have him as a friend. Love Marie

I love your newsletter keep up the great work.
However, I am writing to let you know that I was so floored as to what
has transpired in your life recently. I'm going through my own "issues",
however I wanted to let you know that you have been in my prayers and my
prayer chain. People all over are with you, however the most important
part is...our Lord is carrying you all the way. Try to keep your chin
up and know that so many people love you and need you. Remember the
blessing that the Lord has given you by Him giving you Rob to have some wonderful
memories...relive in those memories today!
Praying for you,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
I myself almost lost my husband. He was in surgery for simple ear
blockage when he to went into cardic arrest right there on the table. If
there wasn't a cardiologist at the scene he would of died in a matter of
minutes. He still isn't back to normal. He has had severaI strokes since.
I don't think he will ever be back to normal. But his will is very strong.
It's a terrible thing when the person we love leaves us and suddenly at that.
I can't even comprehend how you must be feeling. But you aren't alone. We
are here for you. Pray Pat he will hear you & be right there by your
side. God Bless you and your family. Gillian

I am so sorry for your lost I do know how it feels
I lost the most important person in my life in April it was my Mom she was

and life does go on but it is hard at first. I know it is still hard for
me to face the day but I have to there are other people in my life and I
am sure in yours that need us. So I will pray for you and know that in time
you will be ok.
God Bless You and Keep You

so very, very much again. The waiting is hard, but, knowing that in
time God will bring us all together again is something to hold onto.

Dear Patsy and/or Kay,
Once again please let me say how sorry I am and how lost I feel already.
That was just knowing Rob for the short time I did so I cannot even begin
to imagine your feelings and loneliness. Please let me know if there
is anything at all I can do for you to help you through this and beyond.
Dear this was sent out to all of us on December 30,2003. I know it
is difficult at a time like this to remember everything. I wish I knew
more about computers and publishing as I would do both your newsletters
until you are able to come back to it. Also I really more than ever
wish I could pick up and continues Rob's cooking and recipe newsletter and
encouragement to the disabled and handicapped. He was a true HERO in
my book and always will be. If either of you would be willing
and patient enough to teach me and allow me to continue Rob's great work I
would appreciate it and would want NO COMPENSATION whatsoever for doing it.
I was always taught that death comes in threes yet Rob was my third and
today exactly one week to the day after the first I learned of the death
of a cousin. I am somewhat sad over Clarence's death however cannot
be too sad as he was 100 years 6 months old. Please remember that
I DEARLY LOVE YOU ALL and am here for you anytime at all.
Love, Tom

Patsy,
I am so sorry! Today was the first chance for me to get
on my computer
since before Christmas. I just can't believe it.
If there is anything that I can do for you..please let
me know.
Rob was a wonderful, caring, and giving man; I'm sure that
God has a
special place for him at His side. I know that it's probably not any
consolation, but at least he won't have to look for spare wheelchair
parts
in Heaven. He's not in pain..and he's walking.
I am serious; if there is anything that I can do to help,
please don't
hesitate to ask. I know that we have never met personally, but you've
shared
so much of your life; I consider you one of my friends. If I can do
something for you, I will. After all, we're both familiar with onion
syrup!

I am so sorry. It is always our loss
is Heavens gain.
You made his life full in every way.
When God calls us home we must go.
I am sure he was at peace with that too.
Take your time and go through the stages of grieving.
Remember, He is always with you and watching over you.
He lives inside your heart and in your memories.
He is not dead. He just went home.
You will join him someday again in Heaven.
God Bless,

Know that you have my deepest sympathy.
I guess God needed another angel. Know that Rob is in the best hands that
he can be in at this time. He is with our maker. I know that God is holding
you in the palm of his hand at this time as He is the only one that can subside
our pain.
I know, I lost mine when I was pregnant with his only child who is now
20. She is Gods greatest gift to me. I ask God to hold my heart when I hurt.
I ask him to hold yours too at this time.
Know You and your family are in my prayers.

Patsy I am so sorry to here about Rob. Please
accept my deepest sympathy.You will both be in my prayers. I too am a widow
and have been widowed for almost six years now. My husband was only 48 years
old when he passed. Please have faith that God has a plan for Rob and a plan
for you. You do God's work daily with your wonderful newsletters. Right now
you are going through one of the most difficult times of your life but I can
assure you that when the grief eases a bit you will be left with wonderful
memories. Through these memories Rob will live on forever.
I would like to suggest a few support systems for when you are ready.
There is a wonderful website called www.GROWW.org
If you need a shoulder to cry on mine is available. Life continues through
love. God Bless you and may the New Year bring you peace. Lynn
It is a site where you can communicate with other widows and widowers and
share your feeling 24/7. If nothing else helps you to realize that you are
not alone and that all your feelings are really quite normal even if you
wonder sometimes. I also joined a local grief support group at the Visiting
Nurse Assoc in my town. That helped tremendously and I made some great friends
from it too. Sometimes as the Mom we tend to help everyone else and keep
our grief to ourselves but by going to the groups we get help ourselves and
this in turn allows us to help the rest of the family.

Dear Patsy,
I feel so very bad for you and your family.
When I read about Rob this morning I cried, as if he was a member of my
own family. Since I started receiving your newsletter ,I have been through
all your ups and downs with you.
I am recovering from throat cancer and
as Rob was going through his medical trials, I was going through my own
and I always felt a kinship to him and to you.
I am one of the "silent members"
of your followers, but I just had to send a note of love and caring in
your time of grief.
As you have done in the past, continue
into the future----rely on God, know that he is there for you---now more
than ever.
With all my love and Prayers, Joyce R Etna Green, In

I am so sorry to hear about Rob's passing. Please know that you

away. Yes, it made me cry but it also helped. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
Love you!!!! Helen

Dear Patsy;
I just wanted to drop you a note again today. I truly appreciate
the "Remembering Rob" pages you are putting out for all of us. Thank-you
for thinking of all of us during this time of intense grief.
It seems trite to ask you how you are doing, but I do care. Are
you getting enough sleep and the right foods? Remember to take care
of yourself. During the initial stages of grief it is very common to
simply forget to sleep and eat, or we just nibble on chips and cookies, we
don't get the proper, nutritious foods. Let other people take care
of you. Now is the time to lean on friends and family and draw your
strength from them. Remember that God is carrying you in His hands
right now.
I only "know" you and Rob from your newsletters, but I do feel as though
you are a part of my circle of friends and family. I cry every time
I read these pages. You were truly blessed to have had a love like
you and Rob shared. Hang onto that thought, most of us never experience
that kind of love with our spouse. Continue to lean on God, He is the
One who will see you through this tragedy.
I keep remembering one of your last newsletters before Rob's death.
You were describing an outing you had where you had been driving and he got
to see so many beautiful Christmas lights. I can imagine his face all
lit up like a little boy's! What a special memory, to know that you
made him so happy and brought him such delight and joy. Cling to those
memories, even write them down if you want and put them in a pretty box,
a memory box. Then on days when it seems as though the grief will simply
overwhelm you, sit down in a sunny window and start pulling out the memories
and read them and remember.
Get out and take long walks. The fresh air will invigorate you and
help chase away the depression. The increased circulation will also
release endorphins which are your body's natural mood-elevators and pain
killers. I find that a long walk will clear my mind and help me to forget
my problems, at least temporarily. And the exercise never hurts us.
Getting outside and marveling at God's creation is always a good way to help
us gain a more positive perspective. Allow His nature to be a healing
balm to your bruised and bleeding heart.
Remember that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am only an email
away if you want to talk.
Love and Prayers,
Kim P

Dear Patsy,
I just wanted to let you know that I am
probably one of the "expired e-cards".
But I really wanted to share with you my thoughts and feelings of Rob.
When I first signed up for his Live and Let Live newsletter, I was thinking
O.K. just another newsletter saying don't feel sorry for yourself.
But I was soooo wrong. Rob's newsletter gave me strength and courage
to face the world in a wheelchair. I sent many e-mails to Rob about
me being in a wheelchair and how could I deal with life. He gladly
answered them and really made me feel better. Through Rob's newsletter
I learned alot. He really helped me to cope with what life had dealt.
I really enjoyed his Cooking pot newsletter also. We traded many recipes
and I shared many of his with family and friends. I truly lost a great
friend and I will miss him as well. I will wait for the day when we
can join him in Heaven and WALK the Streets of Gold. May God bless
you and keep you safe till it is time to join Rob. I know he is dancing
in Heaven now. Love to you and Kay,
Betty G Attalla, AL

Patsy, I know you'll miss your husband,
but if he's in the presence of Jesus, He's
Happier than you could even bear to feel here. Jesus loves you both very
much!
Today' wednesday the 31st, In two Days my husband Chuck is having his right
foot
amputated due to a severe crush injury with his bobcat on a job he was starting
backin the beginning of NOVEMBER(uninsured too). I FEEL ALMOST LIKE
IT'S MY LEG THAT'S GOING TO BE REMOVED. THE BOTTOM LINE IS
JESUS IS GOING TO GET US THROUGH THIS AND OTHER PROBLEMS WE
FACE TOO. PATSY, PLEASE TRUST IN THE LORD. Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and I will give you rest the Lord says.Thats what I'm
gonna do :
I hope you will too!! God Bless, your sister In the Lord, Linda

Dear Patsy,
I am deeply saddened at your message today. Rob was such a part of
your
e-letters and I also received the two he produced and enjoyed them as well.
I am glad that you got there to let him know of your presence and that he
left with a "smile". I know that it was meant for you as a way of
saying,
"I love you Patsy". Hold that close to your heart and your memories
of your
time together on earth and look forward to when you will be together again
in the future. Somehow, I felt as though you two were "soul mates"
from
your letters. Take pride in that and know that he will wait for you
again.
If there is anything I can do for you through e-mail, a call, etc., let
me
know. I would be pleased and honored to help you and Rob. If
you ever want
to get away for a bit you're welcome here even though Florida is not your
favorite place. We have lots of room for friends and I consider you
to be
one of them!
Take care and God bless and keep you safe.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you,

Patsy,
I am saddened by your loss and share your emptiness. I
know what it is to lose a life time partner and hope
that you will not withdraw from the world. Sometimes
it helps to carry on with routine even though you don't
want to. Just remember that we are all here for you if
you need to talk. Sympathy to you,

Patsy,
I know you have heard all things people want you to hear. I want you
to
know that Rob & you have been a great inspiration to me since I started
receiving your news letter this year. I know Rob is in Heaven looking
down
on you right now & he will always be with you in your heart. I
know you
want to be with him but Rob would want you to live on & keep his memory
alive & keep doing all the good you do. You yourself are an angel
on earth.
Everything ya'll have done for other people when things were so crazy for
you guys. Ya'll give me strength & courage to keep going.
Thank you for
sharing Rob with us. He will never be forgotten. My thoughts
& prayers are
with you & your family. Remember....If God brings you to it -He
will bring
you through it. Thanks, Janet

So sorry.....
Dear Patsy,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. From what I've heard,
he had a heart of gold! I know that the one thing that you don't truly want
to hear is have a Happy New year, because I know it's going to be a difficult
time for you. I just want to say that you and yours are in my prayers, and
please know that as hard as this time is going to be....know you have one
more angel watching over you. God bless you,
Amy S

Once again please say a prayer for Patsy.
I soooo wish I could hug her! After I read her letter
last night telling us that her husband passed away yesterday
I ran to the bedroom and hugged my hubby.
You have to cherish everyday with your loved ones because
you never know when God will send them home.
><((((º>.·´¯
Patsy I hope this finds you doing well.
I know this has to be a very hard time for you and your family. I suggest
you rely on God and all your friends that you have out here in Cyberspace.
I wrote to you last summer about my situation and you were right and God brought
us through it. Mike and I were talking last night , he does'nt have
to fight to get that wheel chair to work anymore, and he is dancing,
really dancing. I can close my eyes and I can see him doing that and
I am sure you can too. He is smiling and laughing with the peace that
only God can give him. We all know that!!!! There are great times
to remember and I am so glad you have shared them with us. I do enjoy
your stories and I will look forward to you back online soon. You have
a ministery and you are good at it. That is what God wants you to be
doing and if you talk to him I know you are, he will tell you that.
I have placed you on our churchs prayer list and a local christion radio station
that has now went tri state with the story . our prayers are with you
and I will look forward to seeing you on line soon.
sincerely Sandi P (smiley)

Thoughts of You
I followed Robs progress all of the time he was in the hospital and
when he
finally was allowed to come home..for some reason, I am unable to get your
letters anymore but read in JD's letter about his passing..
No words can take the pain away you are feeling right now..just know
that many
have you in their thoughts at this time..
From one who has been there

Patsy I do not know what to say. I just
got home. My daughter left this morning for
Florida. She's starting a new life for her. I was crying all the way home.
I lost
my husband a few years ago. Sometimes you feel you will never stop crying.
My
thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please take care of yourself.
Lots of Love and Hugs
Sandy (Vermont)

You are with him forever in
your heart and in spirit My heart goes out to you in this trying
time
God bless you and keep you safe and help you heal
