    As a child I knew you as Robbie, when I grew up, you always asked to be called Rob, and I couldn't help myself because I love you so much and Robbie was my term of endearment for you. Always the cousin who understood me as the weirdo artist I am and told the absolute best, most dry and sarcastic jokes. I love you Rob, you are forever in my heart.

    Sweet Ilyssa, We want you to know just how blessed we have been to have both you and your father be a part of our family for so many years. I can't think of a holiday at Uncle Steve's and Aunt Mary's where the two of you weren't a part of the celebration that makes their house a home. Your father always came to every holiday with his sweet smile...
