Hello Bob,

I know it has been awhile since I last said anything to you, but here it goes. Dad and Mom are taking care of JR. I think dad is doing it mainly because he feels that this is the only thing he can do to make up for all the things he did or did'nt do for you. You know how dad is, he has a heart underneath it all. And we all know that dad considered you as his little buddy, and therefore he was bound to help out JR. JR is doing better, tonight him and I had a long talk about you. He misses you so very much. He told me he loved you and that he misses you more then ever. We both agreed that you were the life of the party. He told me about the time you almost choked him to death because he said the F word, that was one thing you never said he told me and he said that ever since then he won't say it either. At least you taught him something. The rest of us are doing fine. Mom stills says that she is alright with your dying, dad still cant talk about you with out crying, I have not talked to Terri much since July. That is also the last time I came out to see you and Terry. I just can't find the strength to come and see the two of you. I miss you like I have always, and even though I have been going to counseling I still find it hard on most days to talk about you. I have my days and those days are very long and trying for me. So I don't come out because if I did it would bring back alot more saddness for me, and memories that I don't want to remember at the moment. I thought that I was doing better then I am and I guess in a way I am doing better, but it still hurts knowing that you are gone and that I no longer can count on you helping me out of the trouble I get myself into, and that I can not depend upon you to give me advice on Jackass. You will be happy to know that I have decided for at least the last month that it is over, and that I am sticking to it this time. He is what you always told me he was, and he acts like you always told me he would. I remember when Ed and I broke up and what you told me when it came to Gary, after you found out I was back with him. First you said that you should kick my ass for the hell that I put you through and then you should go and kick that lazy son of the bitch where the sun does not shine, nor even think about it going there. Do you remember that and I laughed and you told me that you were not joking that you were a mad man when it came to him. I never have told anyone really about the talks you and I had about Gary, they are memories that I just keep to myself, not because they are bad but because I wish you were here to do everything to him that you told me you would. I never understood how much you did not like me being with him until you left and then I understood what you and Terry both were trying to teach me. I guess I learned a little to late for any of you to do anything. I am thankful for all the lessons that you tryed to teach me, and Im grateful that you and Terry were my brothers. I love you and miss you so very much. There still is'nt a day that goes by that I dont think of you and wish that Bob was still here telling those stupid silly jokes and that stupid grin you had. I would take anything to have you back.

Love Trina

Hello Bob.

Just saying hi and letting you know I love you. Things are different here. Mom and dad have a trailer by where you use to live. Mom and dad like it there, for now anyway. Your brother and sisters are still the same. I guess that is one thing that has not changed. Cody is still living in the treatment center, can you put some sense into that boys head. So smart, but so messed up. this is one area I have changed in, I realize what you said about Gary so many years ago was correct, I did grow up and come to realize that much. I no longer see things from a kids point of view. You use to always tease me of that, not being mature enough to know what is good for me. You use to always tell me that you would be here to take care of that asshole, that you were looking forward to the day when I would let you take care of him. that day has come and now I don't have Robert around to take care of my mess. I wish you were here, I know you would be beaming from ear to ear. I miss your stories and smile. I can almost see you smiling now, that crooked little grin that you had. I would give anything to have that back, to see it one more time. I have not been out to see you and Terry in almost a month. The last time was when you got your angel wings. Well I did go out there ot see Terry on his anniverisity date, did not stay for to long its to hot out there and of course I have to look up into that hot sun to talk to you. Looking down on the ground doesnt seem right from where you are at. Well Bob I miss you and still wish you were here one last time to talk to and to hear your laughter. You were, and in my eyes, still are the best brother anyone can ask for. All my brothers are special in that way, but I no longer can go to you for advice, nor can I run from you any longer when you offer advice. Thanks for being one of my brothers who helped take care of me and watch out for me, I miss you and I love you/

Your sister Trina

WELL BOB I AM GOING OUT BY MYSEFF TODAY TO SAY HI ANF THAY I LOVE YOU BOYH SOOOOOOO MUCH.

                                                    LOVE YOUINDA

Hello Bob,

I have been just thinking about you lately. All the funny things you would say and do. Have not been on here in awhile. Have been missing you and wishing you were still here with us. Nothing beats having the "real" Bobby Gene with us. I miss your  crazy jokes and crooked little smile most of all. The stories about you raising yourself and the famous killing a bear on superstition mountain, all of your stories were crazy but those two were the funniest. Mom and dad have been missing you lately. They have been talking to one another a lot  about you. I think it is now just hitting dad that his little buddy is gone. Anytime he talks about you it brings tears to his eyes. Mom has not really showed any emotion at all, but I know she thinks of you each and every day. I go into her bedroom a lot of times and she will have that far away look on her. If you ask her what's wrong she will just say that she was thinking of the boys. That is you and Terry. She never comments any futher just that she was thinking of the two of you.

I will talk to you again later.  love you and wish you were here, until we meet again.

Your little sister,

Trina

HEY BOB, IT'S BEEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME BELIVING IT.I TALK ABOUT YOU AND TERRY ALL THE TIME LIKE YOU BOTH ARE STILL HERE.I DIDNT GO BY AND SEE YOU I JUST COULD'NT BRING MY SELF TO.IM UP IN PRESCOTT FOR THE 4TH, SETING HERE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND TERRY.

 

I LOVE YOU  

BOB I HAVE NOT WRITTEN YOU ARE TERRY EITHER ONE LATELY IT SEEMS WHEN I GET ON HERE ALL  I DO IS CRY MISSING THE BOTH OF YOU... KNOWING I COULD OF BEEN A BIGGER PART OF YOUR LIFES AND I DID"T,  YOU TWO WERE THE BEST BROYHER I COULD OF EVER HAD, I HAVE NO BROTHERS ANYMORE... I WISHED I COULD OF SEEN THAT YOU TWO WERE THE ONES I SHOULD OF KEPT HANGING OUT WITH. ANOTHER MISTAKE, I LOVE YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH. JUST WATCH OVER US AND HELP US FROM UP THERE TO BECOME BETTER

Hi Baby, I can't believe it has been a year already.  It seems like only yesterday you were still here and enjoying life with your family.  Every time Krystle writes on here I always cry.  Just reading the first part "hey daddio" is what starts the tears flowing.  Mark, Amber, Christopher and I went to see you on your anniversary.  Mark made me cry when he walked up and said "I outlived you, you bastard!".  It just hit me wrong I guess.  We sat out there for quite a while talking about you and some of the things that you and Mark did when you were younger.  I had such a massive migraine that day too.  Later, Trina, Elaine, Cory, and Karen came over to see how I was doing.  Bubba came after he went to see you.  Cilla always asks about you and when she will see you again.  she also doesn't like it that you are in heaven and not down here with her.  It's just so hard to believe that you and Terry have both been gone a year.  Keep watching over us.  I love and miss you everyday!  XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Hey Daddio,

It's been a year since you passed. I still can't believe it. It feels like it has gone by so fast. I miss you every single day. For some reason you like to be in my dreams and tell me it's all a joke and you never passed away. It hurts in the morning when I wake up knowing it's not true. It's a mean thing for you to do but at the same time I'm grateful because I feel that I would never dream about you. I know it sounds crazy but what do you expect from me. You know I always have crazy dreams. Garrett and I went to see you and Terry on Sunday. Garrett always knows where we are at and he blows you kisses everytime we go. He gets so excited when we go to the cemetary cause he can't wait to see his PawPaw. We went over to his Great Grandpa Cayetano's grave site and he started yelling at you because he thought it was mean of you to be up in the mausoleum instead of on the ground. I laughed and told him that you weren't mean. It's amazing how perceptive he is. Saturday night I wore one of your old T-Shirts and when I took it off Monday morning to get dressed he says that's PawPaw's shirt, huh? I couldn't believe it! I never told him and he just knew. I don't think you ever wore the shirt in front of him. He's amazing! He misses you and so do I. He's so big and talks so much. You would get a kick out of it. You would make him say all sorts of things to me. I'm sure when he does say stuff to me your laughing your butt off in heaven. Your grandkids are getting so big. Well I'm going to go for now. I love you and I miss you so much!

                                                                                               Krystle

Hello Bob,

You have been gone a year now, and I still do miss you. Went out to see you yesterday, which was Father's day, Happy belated Father's Day, and of course I went out to see you on your one year anniversary.  Of course this year you did not get your steak dinner, that you got last year. I did miss cooking that this year for you.  I also spent a little time with Terri, at her new home. I tried to make it seem like you were around for alittle bit, when I texted her I asked her whatcha doing?  We all know that was one of your many lines. Anything to bug us. I also miss you calling up and asking if ma Kettle is there? It seems so hard to believe that you have been gone for one year.  Bubba and Karen were also at Terri's, I'm glad that she did not spend today alone. It is good to talk about you being gone, but not to good for someone to have to do it alone.  I know you would not want her to face this year alone. She needs family and friends around her to remember the good times and the bad times. We talked about a little bit of those, good times and bad. Some of the things you would do. I miss those times, I miss you, and I do miss your advise. There are alot of words over the years I wished I had listened to, words that back then I thought was only you getting on to me, or you not understanding what was going on.  It took you being gone for me to understand that you were only looking out for my best interest. Growing up did a lot of it for me, but I have been able to think over this last year, and I have been able to see the many words and advise you had given me over the years. When I thought you were just saying those things because you did not want to see me happy, now I actually see they were for my own good.

Well Bob you continue to take care of us family members down here who would never listen to your advice when you were here. Wish I could see you just one last time and talk about the years that have flown by, or talk about this year and what you would of done if you were here.

Love you and miss you,

your sister Trina

Dear Bob,

Another fishing trip gone and I still spent it in one of the many places you enjoyed going.  I spent some of my time thinking about the things you and Terry enjoyed doing, some of the wild and crazy things you two would say, and the many talkes you and Terry alike would have with me about Gary. I thought while I was there about what the two of you would say to me about how much of a punk he was and that you two were just like him, you knew his type. How I wish I still had you here to remind me of that. how I wish I would of listened. But you know that is something I learned after the two of you have gone. Now i think how I will never get your advice again, no matter what it may be. I only hope that as I journey through life with out the two of you, you will continue to advise me from your place in Heaven. I guess I should condsider myself lucky, I have not only one angel to watch over me, but two. I know I am lucky for having been born into this family and having the chance to call you my brother. Even though we all know your really my uncle we all know that you and Terry both considered me a sister more then anything else. I grew up with you. And I just want to thank you for not treating me any differently then you did Karen or Linda, I want to thank you for letting me be your sister. I know you watched over me more then you did the others. I know when mom and dad where away you would always come by and make sure i was safe, had medicine, and food. Without you I dont know what would of happened. I remember when I needed money for my insulin and I did not ask you, I got sick and boy where you mad. I never reliazed that you were always there for me until then. I did forget that you were there for me until you pasted away, but now all those times you were looking out for me comes to mind. that was the type of man you were, always looking out for the ones you cared most about. We might not of always known what Bob was thinking, but we knew you cared.  That is what i miss most about you being gone, besides your crazy stories of how you raised your self.

Well Bob I love you and miss you. It has almost been a whole year. I miss you more now then what I did when you left us. I told mom the other day that you were only 49, way to young to be gone. I hate thinking about the pain you must of been feeling, or how scared you were just knowing that you were not going to be able to expercence the things most people enjoy experciencing. Like seeing your grand children grow, go to school, you teaching them the things you loved to do. I feel for them because they will never get that chance to know you. they will only have what memories they have of you, and the stories they hear from others. But you were taken from them when they were young.

Im closing now, missing you and wishing you were still here.

Your little sister,

Trina

Hello Bob

Just to let you know that I love you and I still miss you so very much. I have been thinking about you and Terry alot lately. Some days are better then others, and any day I have to deal with Gary I really miss the two of you. I should of taken you up on your offer a long time ago to take care of the asshole. Because that is what he is. Now that you are gone I can agree with you and see everything that you were trying to tell me about him. I just figured you were like the rest of the family, but I now know that you were speaking to me as only a brother who can see that type from a mile away. And I never realized until then how very much you loved and cared for me.

I wish you were still here for more then taking care of asshole, I miss the silly jokes you would tell and that strange way you would look when only you would tell a crazy joke. Or like when you would eat carrots how you would twitch your nose. All those stories of how you raised your self. Lets not forget when you almost found the gold on top of superstition mountain, or wresteled with the Grizzly bear, and many more of your tales. I still miss them even if they were not true.

You take care of us like you have always done while you were down here.

Your sister Trina

Hello Bro.,

Went to see you and Terry this memorial day. We put flowers down on Terry's grave. David went with us, he rarely goes out there. I think since you and Terry have been gone he has only gone two or three times. He misses you he says. More then Terry, but that is because you were around more then him.....

Mom and dad now live down the street from where you spent your last days. I think if you were still there it would be harder for them.  Dad would spend most of his time down there with you, and we all know that would of drove you crazy. Mom one never knows what she is thinking or feeling. But we all know that she misses you so. You know how mothers are, they never forget their children, no matter what you did or did not do, or what you have said to them or never said to them. I know that what ever you are sorry for mom forgave you, she told me that you never did anything to her that she never forgave you for the moment you did it. But she never forgot it she said, with that twinkle in her eye.

You take care of us up there, I miss you and love you.

Trina

 

Hello Bob,

Just sitting here and thinking about you. You and Terry are always on my mind. Like I have said before, before I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning. I drive by the Coury's and I see the orange trees and I always think about how much better those trees look when you were here to take care of them. They look very lonely, they miss you too Bob. Just like they family. We all miss you so very much. It still brings me to tears, just thinking about your last few months. Just knowing that we no longer can enjoy the funny, caring, and loving man we have grown so close to. You and Terry will forever be in our hearts. It has almost been a year and at times I still think that you are right down the street from me. I drive by and when I do I start crying, because I miss you so very much. The other day I was down the street from you and Terri, looking for a house for mom and dad, and it just happens to be on the street very close to you. I start wondering if mom and dad get it will they be able to deal with you not being here. I dont know if I could live that close to someone who I loved so very much, who is no ,longer here. But then I start wondering how Terri does it, she still lives where the two of you spent your last moment together. I know it has to be very hard for her at times. I know it would be for me. Bob you keep an eye on us, watch us for where you are and I will come out and see you very soon. Sorry it has been a while, but you are not forgotten. Never will I forget you.

Your little sister Trina

Hey bro.,

Thanks for being with me on the airplane while we flew to Mo. Before we left I asked you and Terry to protect us, and you did. Usually I am scared to fly, but this time it was different. I think it was because while I was flying i was thinking about how much closer I was to the two of you. Deep down I know the two of you were out of reach, but it was comforting in knowing that I was a little bit closer to you. When looking out the plane window I would see the clouds below me and I thought about how beautiful it was. And then I realized that if Heaven was more beautiful and pure then that, I was missing out on alot. You and Terry are there and I would just sit back and every once and awhile it was like seeing you and Terry out there on those clouds. You just sitting there waving your hands at me, telling me that I was going to make it to MO. Then I would sit back for alittle bit longer. Everytime I would start thinking about the plane going down, or someone trying to take it over, or some dumb thing like that I would look out on those clouds, and there the two of you were again. Waving.  Bob I miss you, wish you were still here. Right now I can only image what you would be talking about. I can hear your and Terry's laughter. It's the little things that remind me of the two of you. It could be almost anything. Every time I see an orange grove I think about how you told Don that you were 16, but you were not. Or when I see any patrol car I think about how you enjoyed working. Or you pulling David over. When I drive by your house, I think about how close you were all these years and chose not to come and see you, I missed out on alot of years. But I still looked up to you. I still loved you, I'm glad that I got that one last chance to tell you I loved you. And just to think I was not going to tell you. Or sometimes I think about the last two months that you were here with us, those were the best days. I did not see that then, but now I can look back and think I got to see you. It might not be much, but you gotta be thankful for what memories you did make in those last few months. Songs will bring me to tears because every George Strait song I hear now reminds me of you, and every time we sing Amazing Grace, I never can get through that song in church or anywhere else because it brings me to tears. I just miss you so very much. You take care of us down here, and keep staying with us and helping us get by with losing you. Love you. Trina

WELL BOBBY IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE TALKED TOOYOU. I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU AND TERRY... ALL THE YEARS WE STAYED APART AND THAT WAS MY FAULT. I DID NOT HAVE TOO STAY AWAY I GUESS IT WILL ALWAYS BE A BURDEN THAT I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH. PAST MISTAKES BAD CHOICES, AND WHATEVER ELSE I HAVE CHOOSEN IN LIFE. SOME GOOD HERE THE LAST 5=6 YEARS BUT BEFORE THAT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW. BUT I LOVED YOU BOTH  AND NEVER REALLY NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH UNTIL NEITHER OF YOU ARE HERE NOW. WE WERE ALL CLOSE BY BUT SEEMS WE NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO BE TOGETHER LIKE A FAMILY SHOULD OF BEEN ONCE AND A WHILE. BUT I THINK ABOT THOSE LOST YEARS EVERYDAY, AND FEEL PAIN KNOWING THEY ARE ALL GONE NOW, AND ALL I CAN DO IS REMEMBER THE ONES WE HAD LONG LONG AGO. THEY WERE GOOD. WELL BOBBY HERES TO YOU AND I LOVE AND MISS YOU BOTH VERY MUCH
