Hey Rob,
Just wanted to ask you to be with us on monday when we play for Lower State. If nothing else motivates me for playing in that game, I will remember to play for you because you played every game with heart. Be with yours boys tomorrow night as well. They need you more than us.

This guest book thing is neat,
Free Fraa;

The memories will be immortalized in the noggins until the day that you permanently pass out. The only thing now is the patience and endurance to get through all of life until we meet up with him again. He is in a place of genuine happiness, and his only worries is us. Lest him not worry; your thoughts reach him. Cherish him with thoughts of happiness. Smiles from here on out.

To D, to Bob, To Lindsey:
I dislike cliches, but we will be here for you. With our hearts stretched out to the capacity, we love you.

Words cannot express my sadness over the death of Robbie. I remember him as a baby and toddler and how sweet he was then, and reading all of these entries I am sure that never changed! I cant imagine how hard this must be for the family, but I am thinking about you daily. I love you all!

Diane,
Mary just told me and I'm wiping away the tears. I remember Robbie as such a sweet little boy with thick curly hair and an impish smile. I always looked forward to being around him and Lindsey during the Meierer family gatherings. You, Bob and Lindsey are in my thoughts now.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Owens and Lindsey,

I first met Robbie at one of Dusty Hudock's PSI Soccer Camps years ago. Since then Robbie and I have trained together, played against each oher and most often competed for the same position. I think we enjoyed a healthy competitive friendship of respect and a common excitent for what it is to be a keeper. Keepers are a different breed and because of that we all understand and respect each other. It is because of Robbie that I am a better keeper today. We were finally going to play the whole year together this fall and I was really looking forward to it. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Diane , Bob , and Lindsey ,
There are not words for the hurt that you are feeling and certainly words seem a little empty now...I was Lindsey's K-4 teacher @ Charleston Catholic and besides her fun-loving and mischevious!:) behavior all I can remember is what a great big brother Robbie was to her. He would walk her to my class each day and give her a hug before he left her ; many times he would come over and eat lunch with her...because ,you know, it's hard being the smallest in your school. My family's hearts and prayers are with each of you during this time.
Much love , Tom , Melissa , Jonathan , and Justin Weir

Being the mother of two I just can't imagine the sorrow you and your family are experiencing because there is no bond greater than that bond between a parent and child.

To: Diane, Bob, and Lindsey I'm sorry about Robbie, you have my deepest sympathies. I'll never forget the first couple of days how it rained. I told KenAndra that God was crying with you all because you were sad, then the sun shined because he was adding a fun loving young man to his kingdom. So always remember after the tears there will always be a smile with the wonderful memories of Robbie and how he has touched so many lives at such a young age. Lindsey, I've always admired the relationship you and your brother had, so remember Robbie will still be with you in spirit and will never leave you alone.

Mr. and Mrs. Owens,

I saw the report of the terrible accident that involved Robbie! I remember Robbie like it was yesterday.

I taught Robbie when he was in the third grade at The Charleston Catholic School. It should be a great comfort to you and your family to know that Robbie was an exceptional student, thoughtful, and very kind, when it came to doing something nice for someone.

I truly value those memories with great joy. Robbie would be truely missed.

Sometimes you don't realize how much of a family we have all become in our soccer community. We often talk about the wonderful people we have met, traveled with, shared dinner with, shared growing pains with and who become intertwined in our life's journey. Robbie is certainly one of our family and the family will miss him greatly. He always had a smile when we spoke to him. I know your pain must feel unbearable now but try to find comfort in the memory of his shining light.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

CYNTHIA BRYANT

July 30, 2008

To my dearest 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'm 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 dearest 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 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.
But 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.

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 you 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 has been worthwhile,
knowing 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 it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
