To the family and friends that opened their hearts and home to me,

In a time of grief and loss, your warm embrace and shared memories were a source of comfort and strength. I'm deeply appreciative of your openness and support during this challenging moment.

Meeting you all in person after seeing the photos Robert shared was a wonderful and heartwarming experience. Your presence brought to life the stories and memories he cherished. Thank you for sharing those moments with me.

With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, 

Selena

Dear Robert,

In the depths of my heart, there's an ache that words can barely touch. You were the lighthouse in my darkest storm, the friend who extended a hand when I was drowning in uncertainty. When they discovered that ominous liver mass, it was your name I whispered, and it was your unwavering presence that provided the comfort I needed.

I'll never forget the compassion you exuded, offering your home in Houston, a sanctuary amidst my cancer fears. You didn't want me to go through the journey alone,if so. What astounded me, even more, was your willingness to embrace my spoiled husky Santiago. Your kindness knew no bounds; it radiated like a warm, constant glow.

We had this plan, a rendezvous in Chicago on the 20th of October. You were meant to board a flight, and I, a train. Such a simple desire lay at the heart of that plan - a heartfelt hug and the shared delight of making each other laugh. That's all I yearned for. 

But the universe unfolded a different script, one filled with cruel twists and injustices. On October 15th, you departed from this world, leaving us in mourning. I believe our 'almost' will always haunt me since we never had the opportunity to see each other in Chicago.  

Your absence has left a void that words can't fill. Your passing reminds me of life's fragility, its unpredictability. Yet, our connection, though brief, was profound. You brought joy to my life, offered solace in my despair, and your memory will forever reside in my heart.

Rest in the profound peace you so deserve, dear Robert. Your spirit lives on in the laughter and memories we created, even from a distance. I'll think of you, always. 

With profound love and enduring gratitude,

Selena

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you today to lift up my family who is grieving. I know that you are the God of all comfort and that you are near to the brokenhearted. I ask that you would wrap your loving arms around them during this difficult time.

Lord, i pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to flood their heart and mind. In the midst of their pain and sorrow, may they find solace in your presence. Help them find ways to express their emotions and lean on you for strength.

Lord, i ask that you would provide comfort in their memories and bring to mind the moments of joy and laughter that were shared with their loved one. Remind them of the love that was given and received and help them hold onto those cherished moments.

Father, i pray for healing of their broken hearts. Bring restoration and hope to their spirit.

I also pray for support and understanding from those around them. 

Lord, i trust in your goodness and your faithfulness. I thank you for your promise to never leave them. May they find comfort and strength in knowing that you are with them every step of the way.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Always classy never trashy, double date night

You were always present and always had a smile.

I have warm and special memories of Robert on the floor playing with his cars in my old office at Stage. That special little boy grew into a amazing man that we will never forget. 
Our hearts ache for the ones he left behind. May God bring peace and courage to his family and especially to Patricia, my sweet loving friend.

Always enjoyed Astros game with Tory♥️

Thankful for having you in my life. Always with us in our hearts♥️

Big brother setting the example for the little sisters!
