I am happy to see a coment to my little Robert. I am his Grandmother in Colorado.I would like people to know what a wonderful kid he was. He would come to visit me in the summer. He loved to be here because he had so much freedom here. I want everyone to know what a wonderful family he had. My daughter and my son in law were good parents. They all watched over him and his brother, took them to church and taught them to respect others as well as themselfs. His brother was so protective of him. When he was little all he wanted to be was a cowboy. He also had a dog here named Spankie. He liked to help in the garden, but most of all he loved to just hang out with the other kids in the neighborhood and run the river. He is so missed by all of us. The pain of your loss does not fade.You will never be forgotten. My little cowboy.love you!

— Chanel, its kind of odd to tell the world that the deceased smoked a lot of dope and you thought it was a wonderfull experience. Is that how you want him to be remembered?
