Mrs. Donohue, Julie, Liz and Vincent,
I didn?t find out until after the services had past, about Mr. Donohue. After that I wasn?t sure how to let you know that your family has been in my thoughts and prayers.
I can think back fondly of my many years spent at my second home, Donohue household. The kindness and love you family gave me has never been forgotten.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I truly believe that Mr. Donohue?s memory and legacy will live on in all he has touched.

Mr. Preston,
My brother worked in a mill of some kind in 1960 around Frankford and Adams, maybe you know him from there. We grow up on the 1800 block of Ingersoll St in North Philly and attended the Gesu Church on 18th & Stiles. If you give us your e mail we'll send you a picture of him from back then.
I also, am Robert sister. even if you did not serve with my brother thank you for condolences to our family. Take care.
Rob's sister Ellen

Dear Mr. Preston.
I want to apoligize for being so abrupt with you. If you have some interest about my brother maybe you should send in your e-mail address and my niece and sister will try to get back to you. Once again I'm sorry for the way I reacted. I did not know that my brother worked in that area.

Robert, I cannot believe yesterday was 3 weeks that you died. I used to look forward to Monday's in the summer because, I was off work but now I hate when Monday comes around because that is another week your not here anymore. I just came back from vacation down the shore and it was so hard passing Johnson popcorn and not going in to bring it back for you. I fell like I'm in a fog most of the time. I just want to hear your voice one more time telling me your OK. I'll even take a little F@@@ word. Frankie want to know if the pool is still your or if it's Aunt Betty's now but, I told him it will always be Uncle Robert pool.I thought losing Mommy, and then Char, was hard but, losing you is harder for me. Every time I got a new hole in my ears you would call me a A..hole, and would say if God wanted me to have holes in my ears he would have put them there. I'm glad your not in pain anymore and I know you were in pain a lot more then you told us, always trying to protect us even to the end but, that day you really were at the breaking point and the pain was too much for you to handle. I miss you so much.
Rest in peace my brother, I love you.
Your Sister
Ellen

Dad,
I was over your house last night and Uncle Nicky and Aunt Kathleen were there. Uncle Nicky was asking about this guest book online and asked if people were writing as though they were talking to you. I told him yes, and that I was one of them. He asked me why did I do that and did I think you were going to answer back. I said I did it because it helps me to deal with all of this and that no I didn't think you were going to answer me, well not online at least: I know you are listening to my every thought every day and I know that in time, in your own way, you will show me some kind of sign that you hear all that I have to say and all that I am thinking.
Mommy told me last night that I have one thing to be thankful for, and that is that you are not suffering anymore. I am thankful for that. I don't want you to think that I wish for you to still be here suffering. But, I do wish that you were still here, healthy as an ox! I miss you so much and everyday it gets harder and harder to move on. I just want to be with you. Dad, please just promise me one thing.......promise me that if anything, you will be there to guide me in raising my girls the right way, all the way! My kids are my life and I don't know what I would do without them. I would have never made it as far as I have in life without the guidance from you and Mommy or without my two beautiful girls to live for. These past few weeks have been the most difficult of times to deal with, but without them, I would have shut down and I know that you would not have wanted me to do that.
I love you Dad! xoxoxoxo
Love Daddy's Little Girl,

Dad, It's Monday morning and I can't seem to get out of my own way! Every morning is harder and harder to get up and go to work. I just find it more difficult as time goes by to move on with everyday life, knowing that I can't talk to you anymore. They say time heals all, but I now know that is a crock of sh**. I can't imagine what Mommy is going through, her pain must be greater than mine, you were her everthing for almost 40 years. I always feel so bad when I cry around her, like she doesn't have enough to worry about......The breaker for your room kept blowing all weekend, I told Mommy that it is you messing with us, letting us know you are ok up there: That is the sign I have been waiting for! I went to the cemetary yesterday with Tori, she misses you sooooo much. She just cries and cries and says that it is not fair! I wish you could touch her just one last time and tell her everything will be ok, I know she will listen to you, because she definately is not listening to me!
Love you and miss you Daddy!
Julia
Mr. Preston,
Please send me your email address to julia32401@aim.com. My Mom would like me to scan a photo of my Dad from when he was in the Marines and send it to you. Maybe if you see a picture, it might help to refresh your memory, if you did in fact know him. Thank you for your condolences.

Dear Dad,
When I signed the guestbook I forgot to mention something. As you know I've been to quite a few funerals in my life, but I want you to know your funeral service was actually beautiful. Everything about it, touched you...the gun salute, taps, the Marines that folded your flag and presented it to Mommy, but most of all, during the service there was a moment of complete peace, I know I felt it, but I also think everyone else felt it, there was a breeze that came over us all and at that moment, I knew you were right there with us, almost as if you never left us.
I love you Dad....rest in peace...

Dear Dad,
I know when you got sick we weren't as close as we used to be, but I want you to know that you always were one of the closest people to my heart. Not a day went by where I didn't think about you and Mommy and wonder how you both were. There are many things I regret and cannot change now, but wish that I did and wish that I could.
I'm sorry that you suffered the way you did and that I couldn't be there for you or Mommy. However, I am glad that you are not suffering anymore.
I know there was only one thing you wanted from me and I know that I disappointed you because I didn't do it. I want you to know that I know its a little too late now to do what you wanted me to do, but I am finally listening to you. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you sooner.
I miss you more and more everyday...I didn't think that was possible, but trust me, it is.
I LOVE YOU DAD!

My Sweet Brother Robert,
You were too good a person to have suffer, like you did. I remember when Daddy died and you went out a brought that ST. Joseph statue for Mommy she was so happy. We grew up with very little material things in our lifes but we always had each other no matter what. so that was why you were always willing to help anyone out for needed it. I'm sorry you were so sick and in the hospital for the last 3weeks and 2 days of your life but, I'm glad I got to spend everyday there with you, and as the saying goes Rob, if tears could build a stairway to heaven we could all climb it now with the tears we have shed in the last week. Rest in peace my sweet brother you are finally out of pain.
I love you Robert, and I miss you lots
Your favorite sister,
Ellen

Dad,
Where do I begin? You have been the best father anyone could have asked for and the greatest Pop-Pop ever! As a kid, I knew I could always depend on you and Mommy and I want you to know that you two can expect the same from me now. I will never be able to fill your shoes, but I will do my best to help take care of Mommy. I've heard so many stories about you over the past few days, and I have come to realize that it has been a privilege to have have you as my Daddy. You have always been more than a Pop-Pop to my girls and they will never forget you. I just wish you would have taught me one thing before you left...how to live without you in me and my girls life....I am so afraid I will never be able to be as good as a parent as you were to us. I love you and miss you every minute of every day.
Love, Daddy's Little Girl

My dearest brother Robert,
I will always remember the laughs and good times we shared throughout
our growing-up years. We didn't get to see one another very often, but when we did it was very warm and loving and that is only one of many other reasons as to why I will miss you. Please tell my husband, Tom, and the rest of our family that I love and miss them terribly. You will NEVER be forgotten Robert. You and your family will remain in my prayers. I love you,
Hugs and kisses,
your sister,

You welcomed me and my family with open arms and extended invitations. I will always have nothing but wonderful memories of the summers and birthday parties I spent with your family. Know that you will be missed by many.

Although we didn't see each other very often, you always made me laugh with your funny stories. You will be sorely missed.
Aunt Betty & family,
It's going to be difficult to redefine your lives without Uncle Robert's presence & I know for a time you will seem lost & with no direction, but know that the love you have for him will not diminish and you will always hold his love in your hearts and his memories in your minds. My deepest sympathy.
Love your neice,

Boy, I don't even know where to begin. I spent alot of days and nights at work with Rob. He was like a machine that never broke down. I learned alot from him, and not just about floorlaying. Rob was like a father to me and I will never forget him. He was the only man I ever met who was so rough on the outside but had a huge heart and great sense of humor. I now know more oldies songs because thats all he would let me listen to on the job. I will miss all the fun we had at work. I would like to thank Rob and his family for treating me like part of their family and helping me be who I am today. You will always be in my heart and on my mind, Mick Evans
