Heather & Joel, we are so very sorry to hear the sad news. Robbie was so special to you both and often I had said how lucky he was to have such loving & caring parents as the two of you have been. With deepest sympathy and heartfelt sadness please find some comfort in knowing your mom has welcomed Robbie to share in her newly found peace and comfort.

Heather & Joel, Although we have never met, Robbie has grown up in our hearts through the love and stories of our friends The Haley's. We know that Robbie was a child that was loved and treasured and will be missed by all who were blessed to have known him. May the lives he touched, surround you and give you peace during this difficult time. God bless.

Over the years, we have heard about your love and devotion to Robbie, which is and will continue to be so inspirational to those who you touch, and even those who you don't. May that deep love give you strength now and in the future.
Dear Heather and Joel, Your Robbie's life was filled with the remarkable love that you both bestowed upon him62. He was blessed to have been your child and you were blessed to have been his Mom and Dad. Take comfort in knowing that Robbie is free from pain and struggle. Your devotion to him is beyond words. Our hearts are with you.
Heather and Joel: My deepest sympathies for you and your family. I know this is an incredibly tough time ~ you are in my thoughts and prayers. May your faith guide you through your mourning. This verse has given me comfort in those times: "It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies". ~1 Corinthians 15:42-44
Heather and Joel, my heart goes out to both of you. I never had the privilege of meeting your beautiful boy, Robbie. What I did know was that he was loved and cherished by you, and that he was the light of your life. My prayers are with you for comfort in the midst of your loss and grief. Sending love and hugs to both of you.
Heather and Joel: Our hearts broke for you when we heard the terrible news. With you, we feel the pain and sadness of Robbie's passing on. You were excellent parents to Robbie while he was here on earth for his beautiful, joy-filled years. Robbie brought so many smiles to so many faces while he was with us. Our thoughts will continue to be with you over the next weeks and months. From Jeffery Robinson and many others from the Elementary ESL Staff

Heather and Joel, words can not express how grateful I am to have had Robbie in my life if even for such a short while. Thank you for generously sharing your amazing child with our Jean Vanier family. Thinking of you both and keeping you all in my prayers.
Heather and Joel. Thinking of you both at this difficult time. Robbie will forever be remembered for the wonderful sweet little man he was. Will miss his beautiful smile especially when he would run his hands over my dog Max. God has a beautiful angel and he will watch over you two forever. God Bless
