It's never easy for those left behind,
But when you lose someone so senselessly & unexpectedly.
We all feel the shock.
May it help to know how many people share your sorrow,
And stand with you in your time of need.
Many share your sorrow.
Thinking of you. I'm sorry to hear about Rob.

Hello Patsy:)
OMG! Where do I begin.  First of all, our deepest condolences to you.  I
cried and cried yesterday with the first email.  I can hardly see to write
this.  Oh, I can only begin to imagine how you must feel because Mike and I
are together all the time.  Rob will be missed by all of us.  I wish I had
been online longer but know he made you very happy.  He had such a wonderful
smile from the photos you sent.  As a memorial to Rob, I hope you will post
your wedding pictures on the website but only if you want to do it.  I think
it would be a wonderful rememberance.  I'm so sad that you are there alone.
I wish I was there to help.  I am sending you the biggest hugs I possibly
can to you from Mike, me, Keno and all the cats.  I know I don't know what I
would ever do if something happened to Mike.  I don't want to be alone.  You
have many friends so use us if you need us to chat online, call, or whatever
you need.  You two made a lovely couple and he brought so much joy into your
life.  He had to because he brought so much into ours also.
I was keeping all of his recipes in a folder then my computer went haywire
and I lost them before I could print them.  Maybe some day in Rob's
Rememberance you could make a Rob's Recipe CD and sell it on your site.  I
would definitely purchase it.  Maybe even continue Rob's website with a
story of how you two met and how you spent your lives together.
Our love goes out to you, Patsy.  I know you will survive this terrible
loss.  Love and hugs.  xoxoxoxoxoxo

You have my deepest sympathies!!  I will definitely miss your dad and

heaven waiting for you to join him someday.  Now he can cook for God!!  May
you both be comforted during these times  God bless you both!!  I cry along
with you!!   Mary  USA West Virginia

Dear Patsy, I am so sorry for your loss. I just read your letter and it was a beautiful tribute to your husband,
but at the same time made me realize how important it is to tell your husband/wife everyday just how much
you love & appreciate them. I am a newlywed & can't imagine being without my husband. I wish you all the
best and pray for you. You will find the strength to go on, and will enjoy peace and comfort again soon.
Stay strong & God Bless, Michele from NJ

Dear Patsy...
I want to offer my condolences on the loss of your beloved husband - Rob.
I have been a member of your newsletter for a long time now and even though
I do not usually email you, I felt a need to do so this time so that you
would know that you are not alone and even those of us that never get to
meet you are here for you at this difficult time. I live in Australia and I
will keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers during this
difficult time.
May the knowledge that your loss is shared by many friends who care
help comfort you at this time. We will keep you in our thoughts and hearts
and in our every prayer.
Take care and know we will wait for you no matter how long you take to get
back online, we will be here for you again when you are ready.

I am so sorry to hear of your husbands passing.I lost my dad in March and he died in my arms.He died of aheart attack but while he was alseep.So thank god he was in no pain.I miss him very much.But I was so blessed to have had a stong bond with him as you with your husband.Then just 2 days ago his mom , (grandma ruby)passed on december 26,2003 day after christmas.So its really been very rough.But we  have to think of all the joy and love we had with them .All the laughs and smiles that surrounded them when we passed with just a look or laugh.Day by day seems like an eternity of healing but, you have to keep going for kids and  family  but mostly for the love that you had shared with him.I dont mean to take up your time .But I just want you to remember something..Haveing loved a man so near and dear,he has passed to be with you in your heart .So when you look in the mirror always smile and  look alittle deeper for he will be smileing back at you .May God Bless and Keep you Safe and Warm .  Cheryl

Hello Patsy, I just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you.  I am so sorry that you lost your husband.  I don't personally know you but I receive your letters and have been following Rob's health problems over the year.  I feel like I do know you and as soon as I read your letter, the tears came down like rain.  I am truly sorry dear that this has happened to you and your Rob.  Just from the letters, I learned that he was an exceptional person, kind and caring for others.  And you are too.  Please accept my condolences and be strong for him.  I too feel that he is in a better place, at home with our Lord.  May the good Lord bless you and help you to endure what lies ahead for you.  Sincerely, Barbara S  from Ohio, USA.

My heart and soul go out to you now in this time. Words alone cannot express how I feel for you. I wish you peace and less pain. And I hope in this time of pain and sorrow you may also be overwhelmed with love. For it is the special love the two of you have shared that make this pain possible.
 
I only know Rob through your letters and your eyes, but he seemed to be a wonderful person. And I know you and you are a wonderful, warm and loving soul. You help many people and brighten many days. And what the two of you shared was not only a wonderful soulship, but a loving friendship as well.
 
If there is ever anything I can do to help, no matter how large or even trivial, please know I am here for you. As I am sure are hundreds others of your daily readers. You have allowed us into your life and have therefore secured a place in our hearts as well. My heart, peace and love go out to you!

Dear Patsy, I went through the ordeal that you are going through now about
three years ago, I also lost my husband, 58, with whom I had planned our old
days together in some far apart beach where we were going to build a cozy
little cottage for just the two of us.  But God has his doings and he took
him away from me and his children, but I know he's up there and he conforts
me every time I am sad or in trouble.  I really do understand you and send
you all my love in this moment of grief.  Here's a little prayer for Rob,
taken from the beliefnet prayers.  Hope you are better soon and let us keep
their memories alive forever.

"Almighty God, we remember this day before thee thy faithful servant Rob;
and we pray that, having opened to him the gates of larger life, thou wilt
receive him more and more into thy joyful service, that, with all who have
faithfully served thee in the past, he may share in the eternal victory of
Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. "

He's Not Lost...

He's not lost.
God gave him a smile and took his hand and welcomed him to a familiar land.
And its much more warm and fair than the last time he lingered there.
And though for his  familiar voice you yearn, and every day, you wish for his return,
he is home at last, comforted by the love, of every angel in heaven above.
He sheds no tears for the path he trod; for he has found  everlasting warmth,
beauty, and comfort in the hand of God.
He's not lost.

Hi Patsy,
Sorry to hear about your loss.  I know each time I read your newsletter, I
would enjoy how you spoke about Rob and the love you two shared. I imagine
anything I say may seem like it is adding to the cliches that you have
probably already heard.
If it is any consolation, it is good to know that you both were able to talk
about so many different topics and found comfort in eachother. About three
years ago, I went down to Georgia after getting a call from my mother saying
that the doctors had given my dad three days, (he had diabetes, had both
legs amputated from the knees down), on the way down , there was a deacon
sitting behind me and on the way back to Michigan I met a guy who had just
come back from his missionary visit overseas. My mother asked who wanted to
stay with my dad the first night (there are eight kids in our family), I
volunteered and to this day, I think that was the best thing I ever did.
He and I talked about everything and just enjoyed the laughter, silence and
tears. The next few days he started to fade and as for any intense talks
with the other brothers and sisters it didn't happen. When I got back home,
I sent an email to all the brothers and sisters telling them about all the
different things we talked about, hoping that would ease their load alittle.
My parents had met in Goose Bay Labrador when he was stationed there in the
Army, my mother is originally from Sydney, Nova Scotia and I was born there
too. On that note, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and we pray for
your understanding, acceptance and guidance during this time and always.
Take care, God Bless,
Marie Elene in Michigan

Dear Patsy, I greave for you i am still greaving for my Mom who died in Feb 1999 we were very close i still get depresed on holidays and wonder why i'm still here. the rest of my family(except my moms brother) call but never invite me to things like weddings(my only brother just got married 3 months ago i wasn't invited nor for christmas ect) The pain never goes away but it gets easier. like me GOD must have a purpose for keeping you here even if it's only to help someone else with their pain or like me bring laughter to an elderly person (i'm a nurse aide @ a nursing home).Well GOD bless you in your time of need and if you need anything like a  (smile) or just someone to tell how you feel e-mail me ok  Paula

There's a party in heaven and saddness on the earth.
Patsy,
oh for magic words to say to ease your pain.  At times like this not even the
wisdom of Soloman can attempt to bridge the gap.  Just lay back in His arms
and let Him carry you through this sad valley.  Cling to the promis that His Spirit
is our Comforter.  Let other people help you, let them organise anything that you
can survive without having to do yourself.  I just see Jesus saying "Lean on Me". 
May the God of all comfort wrap you and your family in His everlasting arms.

LOL Patsy I am so sorry.When I was in high school my first love died shortly
after we graduated. he was the love of my life also. I never got to marry
him, but he got barried with my class ring. All I can say to you is with
time you slowly heal, but you never stop dreaming or chershing the beautiful
memories you will always have. That was in 1981 and I still dream about him
and I still feel his presense at times. God will let you deal with it in his
own way, but I still go to his grave and put flowers on it on his birthday
and other special days. Good luck to you. You are in my thoughts and
prayers. A faithful reader. Terry

Dear Patsy,
I've been thinking a lot about you and haven't forgotten you.  I thought these "Remembering Rob" pages were excellent and an incredible tribute to someone so special to you and a lot of people.  I know it had to be hard for you to do, but you did an excellent job!  Rob may have gone on home, but he is never forgotten and I know you carry his smile, love and laughter in your heart.  God bless you sweety and I pray that God gives you a little more strength, comfort and under- standing everyday.  Of course, I wish I had some really great, profound thing to say that would heal your heart, but I don't.  Just know, lots of people do love you and care about you and so many of us are here for you.  Hang in there, everyday is a tiny step forward to healing.  Thank you! Hugs, prayers, love and peace,

Nothing could compare for the loss of a loved one, although time will heal

I had sent Rob and e-mail a week ago again and we always sent e-mail jokes and such to each other.
I am so very sorry.I wish I could reach out and be there for you all now.I felt I had known Rob most of
my life he was such a wonderful man.He had the courage of 10,000, I really respected him.You both were
very lucky to have each other.He went through such a ruff life but he came through it with a sense of
accomplishment I have never seen before. Please feel free to e-mail me if you need a big soft shoulder,
I went through this on Jan 14th of this year, my adopted daughter passed away on her 29th birthday

I just want to say that even though I did not know Rob I could tell that you being his wife was his life long dream. 
I know the loss you are experiencing. Yes Rob is not physically with you anymore but he is in your heart and soul. 
He will guide you through these next days and months.  He is with the Lord I assure you.  He is looking down upon
you and saying please do not weep so much over him as he is with his Lord, Our Lord.  He is very happy yet saddened
that he is going to have to wait until the Lord calls you home to be with Our Lord and then he will be at your side for all of eternity. My Sincerest Sympathy

Have received your e-mail now for a couple of years and have laughed and wept over some of your news and other news in your newsletter.
My heart and prayers go out to you at this tragic time and, although he will never be far from your thoughts, your children will help to see you through the worst of the tears.  I can only offer cold comfort for you at this moment but you have so many happy memories that you will be able to enjoy later. 
For now tears really are a good release and you know how many of your friends from all over care so very much for you and that will help also to close that huge hole that has been left behind now that Rob has passed.  Another thing to remember is that Rob didn't suffer from a debilitating illness - when that heart attack came it took him almost too quickly, although you know that you had some time with him there at the end.
In my thoughts with hugggs of sadness

Dearest Patsy and family;
     I was so very sorry to hear of your loss today.  Rob sounds like such a wonderful person that I'm sure I would have been blessed to meet.  I'm sure this e-mail will be just one of hundreds that you will receive, but I felt compelled to write and offer my words of love.  You give so much to so many, so often, that now it is time for that love to be given back to you.
     My heart truly goes out to you as you endeavor to accept this loss.  What a blessing to have shared a life with not just a husband, but with your best friend.  Not many people have the kind of marriage you two have.  I'm sure you cherished every day of it.  I say 'have' and not 'had' because, as you know, he is still with you.  His love for you only grows stronger and he will be waiting for you when it is time for you to go home.  This may seem like a long time away, but it's only in the blink of an eye. 
     I know you're faith is strong, but please give yourself time to grieve.  Know that our Heavenly Father has his loving arms wrapped around you.  He will send people to you to help you 'get through' the days.  The days turn to weeks and the weeks turn to months.   Live, love, learn, then when we do what we came here to do, we can go home. 
     I don't know if anything I've said gives even a little comfort, but I hope so.
My Love to you and yours;
Tina K   Tacoma, Washington

Dear Patsy,
Although I've never met you or your family, I feel like I know you from your
letters that I read all the time.  This is such sad news, and I want you to
know how very sorry I am for the pain you are feeling.  I know this is a
very difficult time, and would be entirely unbearable without the help of
our heavenly Father.  There must be lots of people like me, who care so much
for you and your family because of your wonderful newsletters.  You will
certainly be in my prayers in this devastating time in your life.
Sincerely,  Audrey T

+Our prayers and thoughts are with this evening Patsy.
God had a higher calling for Rob, his work and his
spirit will never be forgotten by those who knew, know
and loved him. Rob truly has left a legacy of love,
tenderness and compassion for all he came in contact
with. Please, know that you will see him again, just
remain faithful to Christ Jesus, keep Jesus as the
center of your heart and life and He will fulfill His
every promise. 
His word says: In my Fathers's house are many
mansions,I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go
and prepare a place for you  I will come again and
take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
If it were not so, I would have told you.
St. John 14:3     CheraDee

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our! "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

i know this might not help to much right now but i have found these words to be
a comfort and they came to mind when i read you saddening news ....................... God bless  Juanita

I don't know if you will have a chance to read this, but I felt compelled to write to you and
express not only my sympathy, but my gratitude to you.  I cannot even begin to tell you the
number of times I have been touched by your newsletter, particularly the inspirational one
that I receive on Sunday.  You and your dear husband have touched more lives than you
will ever know.  May God bless you with His comforting spirit. 
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sad to hear of your loss.I know he is in heaven even though I never met him I can feel it. No matter what you will have him with you always in your heart. My mom lost my dad in 89 and he was 59 she is still missing him but it helps knowing he is in heaven. He had the most wonderful smile and glow that we knew when the angels came for him. Your daughter was very concerned and sent a prayer  request. She will be there for you and be a comfort. It will be a time of remembering all the laughter and smiles you all shared. I am very sure that as long as you remember him and carry him in your heart it will be a healing balm for you. When you think of the good times you will feel his presence. He will always be in your heart. I willl miss hearing about all of the trips and good times you had. Maybe you will be able towrite a memory every time as well as what is going on in your lives next. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!

Dear Patsy,
I was so sorry to hear about Rob.  Our prayers are with you at this time.  I just lost my mother on December 9th after being by her side for a month.  She was 85 and lived a good long life, but no matter the age, it is still difficult.  I have found great comfort in recalling all the wonderful memories that she shared and that she left us with.  When you said that Rob died with a smile on his face I could relate and imagine that someone close to him came to meet him.  My mother an active woman struggled with a cane, walker and wheelchair for the last several years.  When she passed on her spirit was gone from her" Shell" as she called her body, so fast that I think she ran to heaven.  With all of her loved ones up there, I can only imagine her welcoming committee.  With my faith, I know that she has gone on to the most beautiful place possible and for that I am happy, but it is the human factor that experiences the loss and that is what is difficult.  Remember the laughter and remember the love, for they will comfort you.  You are in our prayers.
Much love, Patty M, CA

I'm not going to say i know how you feel because i
don't we all feel different and grieve different.  but
what i'd like to say is i am so sorry for your loss. hold
on to your faith for it will see you through the hard
times, read your bible when you feel discouraged and
when you feel like you need to talk to someone our
loving creator is with us day and night.  and remember
your friends are there for you too.  May you soon
laugh and smile and only think of the good times you
two had together for it would be what he'd want i'm
sure. Once again my deepest sympathies for your loss.

Dearest Patsy-
I received word from HHOF today and my sympathies and prayers are truly with you. I followed the progress of your days thru your newsletters and I am deeply saddened by the news. We laid to rest my husband's father two weeks ago and this brought on the memories of the days following his death. I know nothing I say will help, but I read a poem for him at his funeral that I found on the internet and I hope it will help you. God be with you and know Rob is watching over you every minute of the day....Mary Beth B
 
 
"To my dearest friends and family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
 
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
 
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every
morning, noon and night.
 
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and
He said, "I welcome you".
 
"It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your friends and family,
They'll be here later on.
 
I need you here badly,
you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do,
to help our mortal man."
 
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do,
and foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
 
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there to wipe away the tear.
 
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you..
in the middle of the night.
 
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
 
But do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
 
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
 
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er,
I'm closer to you now than
I ever was before.
 
And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best,
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest.
 
There are many rocky roads
ahead of you and
many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by
taking one day at a time.
 
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
 
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God
at night...
"My day was not in vain".
 
And now I am contented....
that my life was worthwhile.
Know as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
 
So if you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
 
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.
 
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face,
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace.
 
And when it's time for you to go
....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going..
..you're coming here to me.
 
And I will always love you
from that land way up above.
Will be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends His Love

Hello Patsy
   Honey you are not alone and yes you will feel like not doing anything I know I lost my
soulmate and love August 30th 2003 and it has been awful. I cry a lot even now after
4 months with no sign of stopping. I let things go and couldnt cope with normal things like
just paying a bill. He was everything to me as your husband was too you and I hope that
you can feel stronger sooner then I have and go one with your life. You are a brave woman
and a good friend to lots of us even though we have never met. I read your email you send
and laugh with you cry with you and even wonder why with you. So you are not alone ok
honey be strong and go on with your life and remember the love and the wonderful times
and the not so wonderful times too. He is with you always as my husband is with me.
I remember everything we did together and I am growing stronger because of it and
I know you will too. Hugs and my deepest condolences to a very brave lady.

Dear Patsy,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  Sometimes the hardest thing we do in our
earthly exsistence is to let go of our loved ones until we can be reunited with them again. 
I have loved many and lost many earth bound spirits and know that they are anxiously saving
a place for me next to them in Heaven.  God Bless you and your family and I hope you know
how many hearts are aching for the sadness in yours...  Lisa In Iowa

why but be in comfort in knowing that Rob is with the Heavenly Father now so
rejoice in that if you can. I do know how it feel's to want to be with him
