| Comments: | Larry & Debbie and Willie & Carol,
I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of each of you. I so often have thoughts of Jennifer and Robbie. It's funny...I never even really knew them, but they've had such a tremendous impact on my life. Sometimes life seems so unfair. We don't know why things happen and it's so easy to get mad. When mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year part of me got mad. You all gave me strength when mom was in the hospital. When I saw you at church, your presence was an incredible encouragement to me. I don't know what it's like to lose a child, but I do know how it feels to come so close to losing my mom. It was a pain unlike any other. I thank God for the lives Jennifer and Robbie led! Their deaths were not in vain! God had a plan and a purpose for all of it! I can't wait until that day when I finally get to see Jennifer and Robbie...to tell them what they have meant to me..what they have done for me. There are not words to express how much I care for and love the four of you. Each Sunday that I don't see you at church I say a prayer for you all. A prayer that God would keep you safe...bless your families...a prayer of Thanksgiving for the lives you lead, the courage and strength you possess, and the love you show...the love you choose to share with me. I am truly blessed to have y'all in my life! Thank you. I count it a privilege and a blessing to know each of you! I LOVE YOU! In Christ Always, Beth |

| Comments: | (Just a quick update)Right now I'm in school (i think for my 6th year!jeez!) but I will be graduating soon with a degree in Sociology with an English minor. I have no idea what I will do for a carreer, but since I come from a family rooted in law enforcement, I'll probably join the military or become a police officer.
Recently I ran into an old friend, Mike who was also one of Robbie's good friends. It has been a blessing to have him in my life. We've shared memories together and for the first time in a long while I felt like someone understood how I felt, how I feel. I can't always talk about Robbie with my other friends because they never knew him so,to be frank, their words of comfort feel empty even though I know they're said with sincerity. The other night was an emotional night for me. Some nights are just that way. I cried so hard that I nearly got sick. I held one of his pictures so tight like it would bring him back or something, but it didn't. But these nights are not as often as they used to be. Most of the time now I can hear his voice and his laugh, which was so infectious that even now I chuckle at the thought. I know I will have more nights in the future that are sad, and that's ok. Sometimes it feels good to cry. I am reading a book called "The Purpose Driven Life" which is wonderful and has brought me closer to God. I know that one day I'll see Robbie again, and get to meet Jennifer and that makes me so happy. I pray for everyone that knew Jennifer and Robbie and loves and misses them. I keep all of you in my heart even though I haven't met many of you. God Bless. |

| Comments: | To my baby girl and my sweet Robbie,
Time seems some day to just stand still. I have such mixed emotions now. I'm very homesick to join you yet I know I have to stay until my job is done. It is such a blessed feeling to know and have hope I will see you again. I cherish just the thought. Time is flying by and it won't be so long afterall. Jennifer you added so much to my life and the void is big but not eternal. I'll see you sweetie again. I swell with pride with your accomplishments and I remember to try my very best as I can only hope you are in the cloud of witnesses watching me. Just know you are most precious in my heart and I love you so very much. I'm looking forward to an incredible reunion. Robbie, you have so much to show me. I'm so glad you are a part of my life forever. Son, I have thought about you so much for March. My mind still chases the possibilities of what life would be like if I could communicate with you guys. I do know that nothing can separate me from my love for you. I miss you... always and forever, MOM |

| Comments: | Jennifer,
Ohhhhhh, how I miss you today. You've always been there for my birthday. So much of my life is a vacume because of the love we shared and now I have trouble expressing how much I do love you. It hurts so bad, I simply do not want to breath when I think of spending life without sharing it with you. Today, a look forward with a grateful heart for God allowing me to love and receive your love. I reflect about a happier time on my birthday when you and Robbie ate Pizza with me and Robbie brought in fudge. I get so homesick, sometimes I feel you would almost have to pry my mouth to get me to smile again. Other times I can reflect and smile when I think of times we shared and Robbie's mischievious nature. I'm so glad you found the love of your life. It sure makes for a better quality. Robbie, I'm missing you too today. So seldom, I saw you without you smiling. Thank you for loving my baby girl with your whole heart. I love you so much. Someday, we can reflect back on this dream called life and all spend a happier day in eternity. My heart is deeply planted in heaven with you guys and my feet are still planted here. My love I send to you both. MOM |

I never knew you however, I feel like I do. I work with Jennifer's mom and she has been such a comfort to me in hard times. I know that your parents miss both of you very much and I know they are excited thinking about the day that they come home to be with you also. I don't think of you as leaving them just that you two are finally home and waiting on them. God truely blessed You both with wonderful parents and a caring family. I am sad to know that I have never met the two of you but I am excited to know that I will one day when I too will make it to my father's home. God Bless! |

| Comments: | Jenny,
i have not come to this website in a while but it has really grown with letters since the last time i looked. i think about you all the time and i miss you very much. i finally moved back from Auburn but when i was there i drove by your apartment everyday and thought about how much fun we used to have there! i hate that it was cut so short. remember when me and you used to sleep in a twin bed together every night and stacey was there too! you always let me come over and made me feel better when i was upset or counldn't stand my roomates anymore. i have still not seen your brothers baby girl but i heard she is precious and looks just like you! i hate that you cant be here to see her. you have always been very special to me...you always knew the right things to say when something was wrong and when i was heading in the wrong direction you always seemed to be able to turn me around. i really wish you were still here. you meant so much to so many people. but, i know you are in a better place with God in heaven. i cant wait to see you again...i have so much more to say. this is a little harder than i thought to write this. i hope your parents are doing well. i keep saying i am going to go to their house but i get so nervous. it seems just like yesterday you were here. i think about them all the time though. i hope you are taking care of robbie. i miss him too!!! he was just one of the sweetest guys i have known. i think yall were lucky to have met each other. two beautiful people! i miss you very much and i cant wait to see you again! love, rachel |

| Comments: | Hey, guys. Well it's been about a year and a half since the last time I could write. So much has happened since the last time I saw you. I still can't believe you've been called home. We miss you so much that it still hurts to think of what happened. Hey Jenn, do you remember my cousin Matthew on my dad's side? He was killed in an auto accident on January 31, 2004 and it was like losing you all over again. I've prayed so many times for God not to take anymore people away from my family. We've lost so much already and I can't bear the thought of losing someone else.
I pray every night for the safety of my precious babies, Chase 3 and Savannah 3 months. I pray that you and Robbie are watching over them at all times and are with them wherever they go. I still feel like your presense is as strong as it was the day we lost both of you. You are still missed very much at all of the family functions we have every year and they don't feel the same without you. I don't know that they will ever feel complete again. Well, I just wanted you to know I think of you every day. Love Always, Mandy |

You both are always on our hearts, as you know, but particulary last Sunday. We just wanted you to know that Jennifer and Robbie will be with Evan and I forever and inspire both of us on a daily basis. We are still (and always will be) heartbroken for you, but don't feel so distant anymore. Thank you so much for meeting with us. Your graciousness has been beyond belief and has been such a testimony for the Lord. Not a day goes by that one of you does'nt cross my mind and encourages me in my walk with the Lord. Always, Debbie |

| Comments: | Three years and four months. Seems like a short time, but it has also seemed an eternity in many ways. Each minute of each hour seems to bring some thought of Robbie and Jennifer to my mind. Every thing that I do seems to be related, in some way, to their presence in my life. Their names are mentioned many, many times throughout each week as the memories are relived by both families. Both families have become an extention of one another, and the support, love and memory sharing have become second nature. We all attend Bay Springs Baptist Church together, and each Sunday morning finds us gathered at Robbie and Jennifer's gravesite for a moment of prayer and rememberance. The graves are located underneath a beautiful magnolia tree and we have placed a bench, given to us by the women of the Women's Bass Fishing Association, at the foot of both.
Both families gather together for all holidays, birthdays and many other occasions. Yesterday was Easter, and we enjoyed the afternoon playing horseshoes and just being together. There have been six wonderful and beautiful babies born to these two families since the passing of Robbie and Jennifer. Jennifer's Brother and his wife have a darling little girl, Jenna, who looks just like Jennifer to me. I call her Stormy, since she was born during a hurricane, but her personality is anything but. Robbie's double-first-cousin gave birth, on last Christmas Eve, to a beautiful daughter, Lola, who incidentally looks just like Robbie's baby picture. I call her Angel because she was sent to bless my family. Her birth has caused my mother to actually look forward to Christmas once again. Three of Jennifer's first cousins have been blessed with babies. Mandy now has a son, Chase (2 years old and a handfull) and a 2 month old daughter, Savannah, that is precious in every way. Alicia has a son, 2 year old Daniel, who can carry on an adult conversation with you. Angie has a son, also 2, named Logan. I call him Humvee, since he is not a full grown tank, but will be someday. Liz, one of Robbie's dearest friends, misses him deeply, and remembers him here on this site often. She was a great influence in his life and Carole and I love her dearly. Her love for Robbie is a testimony of the kind of person, and friend that he was. Robbie's older brother, Michael, grieves in his own private and personal way. He seldom mentions Robbie and Jennifer. He hurts, but he does not show it outwardly in many ways. Since their death he visits us much more often and attends many of the combined family occasions. His strength has been a testimony to his character. My love for him is boundless. I have come to deal with the loss of Robbie through my faith in God. After all, even though Carole and I begat his body, God Himself gave Robbie his breath of life and soul. Since Robbie belonged to God in every way, Robbie was God's child, to be called home at any time. Carole and I, and everyone who was ever touched by Robbie's life, were truly blessed to have hime here with us those short 19 years. Even though losing Robbie has been a devistating occurance in my life, It also served as a wake-up call for me. I know that in order to be with him again, I must now live in a way, such as to prepare myself for my own soul to be called back to God, from whence it came. It seems as though time drags by since Robbie's death, but by Gods standard of time, it will be but the blinking of an eye that we are parted. What a wonderful day it will be, to be reunited with all my loved ones, who have gone before, in the presence of Jesus, my personal Savior. I do not wish for death, as God has not finished with my purpose for being here, but I no longer fear it either. It is my fervent prayer that all who read this will seek God and his grace, through Jesus Christ, who was born of man, suffered, bled and died on the cross, for the remission of our sins. His sacrifice, ond our acceptance and recognition of it, is the one and only thing that will make it possible for us to experience life eternal. |

| Comments: | I would like to send my deepest condolences....but I was wondering what Jennifers' middle name was, b/c my name is also Jennifer Castleberry, and I am curious. I don't know if you are Christian or not, but if you are, take great comfort in your faith of the Lord, for all things are in his control...and apparently he needed angels, so he called Robbie and Jennifer home, and if you aren't Christian and you don't believe in God, then I hope that I haven't offended you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers! |

| Comments: | It's strange how sometimes things trigger memories. Today it was a scent. HUGO boss collogne. Robbie wore it. I tried not to smell it, but it reached my nose, and when it did it felt like someone opened a door to the past. Memories consumed me completely. They felt so real, and for a second I forgot he had passed away and wanted to call him. Then I was jolted back to reality and realized he was gone. I found myself almost inhaling this bottle of collogne as if it would make my memories come to life. I knew it wouldn't, but I didn't want the scent to go away. I miss you, Robbie. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I don't talk to you as often though, or maybe I do and have just gotten so used to it I don't realize it. I have been meaning to visit you, but for some reason am still unable to bring myself to do it. Maybe I'm scared. I guess seeing your headstone makes it that much more real that you're gone and I still don't want to face it. It's been 2 1/2 years and I guess sometimes I still expect you to call or pass you on the street like I have before. I know all of this must sound silly, it sounds silly to me. All I know is that sometimes I miss you so much I cry so hard that it's difficult to stand, or think, or do anything. And then other times I find myself laughing out loud about something we talked about or did. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. You also Jennifer, I know we never knew eachother but I know we would have gotten along. I have heard nothing but the best of things about you. Knowing you're with Robbie is comforting. I know you loved one another so very much. Remembering you always, Liz |

| Comments: | Dear Robbie,
It's been so long since your passing, and still it feels unreal to me. I have thought of you everday, and I have talked to you everday as well. I wonder if you hear me. I wonder if you remember me. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. We played phone tag for 6 months before you passed away. So many things were left unsaid, I tell you them evertime I talk to you, but it doesn't seem good enough. You had such an impact on my life and I will always remember you. Do you remember me? I am so afraid you don't, but I'm more afraid to forget you. That is my worst nightmare. I have not been able to visit you, or your family. Now that this much time has passed I am afraid your family won't remember me. Robbie, I miss you so much. My eyes flood with tears when I think of old memories and how I have no one to share them with. I have dreamed of you, and in my dreams you're always happy and laughing. I am always upset in my dreams and when you ask me what is wrong I reply " I just miss you so much, you don't understand" and you say to me " but Liz, I'm right here" and you hug me so tight and it feels so real until I wake up. I try to go back to sleep and live in my dreams, but I never can. I am so glad that you had Jennifer. I never knew her, but I know she made you happy and I am so thankful for that. All the wishing and praying in the world will not bring either of you back, and that is a hard fact to face. It would be selfish of me to want you hear on earth when you are sitting with our Lord watching over your loved ones. I Pray you are on my side as well. I don't think anyone will ever know how much you will always mean to me. I will miss you until the day I see you again. Remembering you always, Liz |

| Comments: | Dear Jennifer and Robbie,
This is the first time in nearly two years that I have been able to write to you. I have come to this site many times, but can never bring myself to say what I feel. Jenn, I have had two dreams about you in the past two weeks. They're always wonderful and sad at the same time. That's not the only two dreams I've had either. I dream about you quite often. In every dream I beg you to come visit me. You always just smile and say "Ok" but I'm always crying. The last dream I had I was able to hug you, and I remember the feel of my arms around you. It was so real. I'm finding it very difficult to get through with this letter because I'm having a hard time seeing through my tears. It has been nearly two years since we sat and talked with the both of you and I can still here you're voices. Brandon also had a dream about you Jenn, a few months ago. I think it really affected him, it was a very moving dream. Sometimes I think you probably know about these dreams because you are actually there with me. Well Jennifer, we are all waiting for the arrival of your niece, Jenna. Today, Amanda is officially overdue. I know that she is Austin and Amanda's baby, but I can't help but think she was really going to be yours. I know how you would have fallen in love with her. You would have been the absolute best Aunt in the world and don't worry she will definetly know who her aunt is, you. I keep picturing you with her and I know you will be watching over her every minute just like I know you are watching over all three of the boys. Robbie, I know we never got the chance to get to know each other real well. But, I know how special you are and how much you are loved and I miss you too. You have a wonderful set of parents in Willie and Carole. I know I am blessed to have them in our lives and I know they miss you and think of you every second of every day. When I think of what happened, I don't just think of losing Jennifer, I think of how we lost you too. Both of you are never far from my mind, and every day since that night I have had a memory or thought of both of you. I too, wish there was some way I could have kept you there at that table with me and Brandon just a few minutes longer. It has taken me a long to accept the fact that you are never coming back and I can't imagine how hard it must be for your parent's and brother's. I know the both of you are watching over all of us. Please keep a special watch over all four of these babies and know that you will always be remembered. I miss you so much! Love Always, Mandy |

No matter where I saw you, you would always have that smile on your face that immediately made me smile too. . . . . that twinkle in your eye that would make me laugh. You were truly a joy to be around. Unlike many young people, you always seemed to open yourself up to me and made me feel like I was more than just "Jimmy's mom". You made me feel like we were friends and I will always love you for that. You would tease me in that charming way of yours. I would just shake my head and you would give me that great grin. You were taken from us way too soon but you left me a heart full of memories and I will never forget you. You left a mark on our family that can never be erased. Not only were you Jimmy's friend but you also always treated Will and Ben just like younger brothers. We all miss you and we all love you. . |

| Comments: | Dear Jenn and Robbie,
I've been reading and crying and remembering but most of all missing you two. I know God is carrying Debbie, Larry, Carol, Willie and all the rest of us. I sometimes try to imagine just how wonderful heaven must be. I have your pictures on my fridge so that I can see you every time I go thru the kitchen. You would both be so proud of your moms and dads. God is doing so much in their lives. Jenn, I know you were looking forward to the baby boom we have going and I believe that God lets you celebrate the wonderful blessings He sends down to us. Sweetie I love and I miss you both with all my heart. Tell Grandaddy I love and miss him too. I can't wait to be with you. I'm serving the Lord with all my heart now and I wish I had never wasted so many years. I hope we get new voices to sing with, or you know I'll be in trouble. I feel better now it feels like I have visited with you guys. I love you Jenny and I love you Robbie. I will see you soon!!! Love eternally, Aunt Donna god lets you |

| Comments: | Ohhhhh Jennifer. Sweetheart my heart is breaking in grief today that floods my very being. I try to communicate my hurt but it is sometimes overwhelming to express. Today is one of those days. I made it through Mother's Day and received a carnation in the service as a tribute for the mothers. Oh sweetie, how I wish you could have had the honor of looking into the precious face of your own baby. Jennifer, you always were so beautiful. Both inside and outside. People often misunderstood your shyness but I knew you. You were a precious gift of God to me and I pray I can be with you soon. I was given a rose the day you were born and I am thankful for everyday God allowed me to be with you. How I miss your hugs, love and laughter. I will never understand why I had to give up such a wonderful gift but I am resting in the assurance that we will not be separated for eternity. When I went to Toledo Bend, I seemed to be walking in your shoes. It was wonderful to see things that we were never able to share together. Oh Jennifer, I hurt so badly today the words are difficult. I miss you and Robbie so much. Robbie, so many things son remind me of you. It seems you saw good in most all things and had a way to be happy in the most difficult times. I admire your courage and joy for life. I miss your teasing and watching you make everyone smile. Thank you for being my friend. I dread going back to work and the same envirnment. I will try to be as brave as both of you have shown me. I will miss the lunch break where I was allowed to talk to you Jennifer. It will be hard to walk in and see where I was the day my life changed forever. No, I'm not the same and never will be. But I hope in time to be a better person for God's purpose.....whatever that might be. I see your Dad's grief overpowering him. He cannot bring himself to look at this page yet and I wish he could. So many precious thoughts and wishes are recorded on these pages. He has changed so much. I pray for him to have strength to press on. Austin and Amanda bring joy here. You never know what to expect from them They are entertaining to observe. I wish you could have known Amanda better. I think in time you would have been close to each other. As I have been trying to get the pool ready to open.....all I can see is you two. I see memories of you playing by the pool, in the water.... diving off the board..... making homemade icecream.... laying in the hammock, playing the radio LOUD!!! and of course fishing.
Yes, I am missing you greatly today...... Love Debs (Jenn's Mom) Oh, precious God the Father, please allow me to remember each detail of their lives and how much you blessed me being a part. Help me to let go of the grieving and hold on to the celebration they are embracing. I hope that in some point in my life I can go through all my memory banks without tears flooding my being. Lift our hearts today with the embrace of your loving hands and give me strength, courage, wisdom and love to do the tasks you place before me. Father, help me focus on those I can help through you and reserve my place in heaven by these precious children. I'm not home yet.....but I am homesick. I want to be careful to hurt none, love many, touch lives for you and be a vessel for your use. Fill me up Lord and allow me to lean into your arms of love with peace. Father, lift each grieving heart with your whisper and loving assurance. Please, Lord let all know how much you have prepared for us and the strength that is available to allow us to walk daily in your grace. Thank you Lord, for being there 24 hours a day to hear the plea from your servant. AMEN |

| Comments: | Robbie and Jenny,
This is a year of firsts. Our first Christmas without your excited faces and thoughtful gifts. Our first New Year's Eve with no fireworks lit by the both of you, in the middle of the street, as you scramble to avoid being blown away. Our first March 9th birthday for Teri and I without you Robbie, who shared that special birthday with us. Our first Mothers Day without you has come and gone and left in its wake anguish without end. Your mothers have been drawn together and have formed an unbreakable bond of love and sharing of memories that are not only lovely but merciless in thir sadness. I can see the misery of lonliness in both their eyes as they try to adjust to a life without both of you in it. It is often times unbearable and there is no solace I can offer them or words I can utter to make them feel better. I feel so helpless then. Our first tournament trip without you there to water the plants and feed the pets and miss us and welcome us home with your smile and excitement and love. Our first trip to granny's house without you both to go ride the hogs and go four wheeling in the mud and washing the truck off at Missy's house so I wouldn't know. We will make our first trip to Michigan to visit Grandpa Rouleau without you in July. I cannot imagine the trip without you there with us. We will go to our first Classic without you in August and we will miss you more than you both could ever have imagined. Soon we will place a monument, for the first time, on the graves of one of our children. A task that I prayed for many years never to have to perform. God grant that I never have to do it again. How I wish I could turn back time and just delay your leaving that parking lot for just 30 seconds on that night. You were two of the happiest and most loving individuals I have ever known and It breaks my heart each time I think of what your families and friends lost when you were called home to God. I love you both dearly and miss you so very much. |

| Comments: | My words are not going on paper as they are through my mind and heart as i try to write this for the third time. But I hope you can understand them. Yesterday was mothers day and i was anguished at the thought of having to work. I woke up got ready for work knowing it was going to be a long day.I found in that 7 hour shift you were all weighing heavy on my heart and mind. I think god's way of saying how selfish of me to complain. And i realized he was right. I can only imagine how long your day was and how painful, I pray you found solice in knowing Robbie and Jennifer spent this day with God and I know shined brightly as ever on you two wonderful mothers.. Carole, As a wonderful friend you are I can only imagine the gift of having you as a mother. Robbie was blessed when god gave him the gift of a mother like you. And god blessed you with a beautiful son hencing you the title of Mom.... I was blessed as god gave me a wonderful mother, one I admire, love and cherish. God's gift is everlasting as I know in heaven Mom and I when this life is old will be strategizing about bass fishing. mom still passing on her lessons to me... as will you be... what i am wanting to say is you and willie are so very special to me and your family is my family. It is not everyday in life i meet someone as wonderful as the two of you and can not only call you true friends, but claim you as my family as well.... I just want you to both know I love you and though i cannot through words or any measure ease your pain, I can let you know I love you and that I am your friend and as a friend am here for you..... robbie and Jennifer were and are two very special people. they both were raised and loved by two very wonderful families, god's gift to them... We love you and are always thinking of you.... God bless

| Comments: | Dear Robbie and Jennifer,
You represented perhaps the very best in what life is about. Living life to the fullest and loveing others, and that in itself is a reflection or glimpse of that precious life to many who didnt know you like we know you.. You have ignited a torch in our hearts, we ache to see you both again, and sometimes we cant function because of that loss, and we fold under the pressure. Not wanting to deal with pain, we cant speak for fear of upsetting those around us and we anguish quietly about things known only to god.. or worse that we run from it, only there isnt a place to run or hide.. My comfort is knowing that one day we will be reunited and we will see you again.. My comfort is knowing where you are. God knows our heart, and he knows our burdens and he knows what we can and cannot handle.. and I know he is there.. I take comfort in that too.. and I know that I have two smiling faces beaming down on me at this very time.. how happy you both must be.. My heart goes out to Willie, Carole, Larry and Debbie and our family.. I dont have anything to help with such a loss, only that I might point in the direction of the one who can help and the one who can ease the pain.. and he is there.. Robbie and Jennifer you will never be forgotten on this earth by us.. the torch is lit in our hearts to see you again ignited by love and memories of those who knew you best.. and Robbie I never got to thank you and Jenny for that fried turkey you cooked on thanksgiving it was wonderful.. Love always, Ralph |

| Comments: | It has been over four months now and I still find it almost
unbearable each time I am reminded that Robbie and Jennifer are no longer with us. Each afternoon is an exercise in pain as I approach and pass the site of the accident, on my way home from work. I still cringe at, and abhor the thought of what terror they might have experienced those final few seconds of their lives. It is a thought that I cannot for the life of me keep from entering my mind and it makes me shudder to my very core. I have relived those three hours, from six thirty to nine thirty on December fifteenth, at least ten thousand times in the last four months. Meeting those four police cars, travelling towards my house in procession, while knowing in my heart where and why they were doing it, is a nightmare I lived and I cannot seem to awaken myself. I await for our lives to return to normal, all the time knowing and realizing that there will never be a "NORMAL" again because Robbie and Jennifer were part of "NORMAL". Having so many friends, who have offered words of comfort and assurance, has been the force that has kept me moving these last 130 days. People who have experienced the same loss as well as those who can only guess at what it must be like, have been so kind and supportive. The people of Bay Springs Baptist Church, where Jennifer's parents and many of her family attend and where Robbie found that Jesus Christ is truly the answer to all our problems, has welcomed Carole and I into their midst and surrounded us with love and hope. They are truly a wonderful group of souls. Robbie and Jenny; Carole and I have purchased the nine acres of land that Larry and Debbie had set aside to give to you to build your lives upon. We will move there this summer, to be nearer to Jenny's family, the church and both your graves. We will become part of the community and nurture the land that was to be your home. We will love it there just as both of you would have. Robbie; though we leave behind a house where you spent many happy years, we will take those memories with us and your spirit will follow. The hardest thing will be the packing and moving of your special things, which still remain in your room today. Your mom and I still have not the emotional strength to enter and seperate it all. It still smells like you. We will do it together when the time comes. God will provide the strength. There are still note cards all over it with messages from Jenny expressing her love for you and wishing you a happy day. We miss you both so terribly. We plan to go to Michigan to visit your Grandad this summer. I don't know if I can handle going fishing up there this time. You loved it so much there and we had so many wonderful times and summers there that it just cannot be fun without you. There were so many wonderful experiences there that was shared by you, your mom and I. I can't imagine it without you. I love you son and I want you and Jenny to know that I have wished a thousand times since that awful night that it would have been me taken in place of you two. But God does know best, and you both belong to Him. May His will always be done and every thing for His glory. You are not lost to Him, only to us, and that for a short time only. I will see you again and we will rejoice in love and happiness for all time. I just miss you so much that it seems that I am frozen in time. My prayer is that He has conveyed these thoughts of mine to you both. |

| Comments: | Dear Carol & Willie,
Just a note to say my thoughts are with you today and every day. I miss Jennifer and Robbie so bad it is hard to breath but there is a peace that floods my very being because I KNOW where they are today. As Easter approaches, this year will be so much more precious than ever before. I look at what God was willing to do for them and us and to give his only son for us. Because of this and only this, I can face tomorrow with hope that he will collect the rest of us soon. Our babies are in the loving embrace of Jesus himself and we need to be strong for them. There is not a day that goes by I do not cry and mourn for them. Oh the days seem so long without seeing them. I wish I could ease your pain. My heart knows how yours feels. Carol, Willie, I thank God for allowing me to know you and love you. Your friendship is priceless to me while I am here a little longer. I want you to know your son made a difference in this family and we will treasure every minute we were allowed to know him. Soon he and Jennifer will escort us to a new place. I pray life passes fast and we achieve the plan God has set before us. Thank you for making my little girl happy. She spoke so kindly of you and enjoyed hanging out with you guys. I'm forever grateful for your hospitality and friendship. Just know, as long as there is breath, I will pray for you. Your friend in Christ, Jennifer's Mom, Love, Debbie |

Just last week my grandfather passed away. He had been sick for a good while from Altz-Heimers disease. It was hard to deal with when I found out. (My, my brother, and my sister were all down at Panama City for spring break.) I was trying to look at things from the positive side of things because I had to be the strong one and help my mother. I thought about how happy he must be right now to be in heaven with my grandmother (who just passed away 10 mon. ago). He was truly lost with out her. I looked at it as if he was in a better place because he didn't have to suffer any longer. I thought that if I tried to look at it like that then it wouldn't hurt as much but nothing could stop the hurt. It made me think of you both and how much you must hurt. It is never easy to let someone go. The closer you are to them the harder it is. I want you both to know that if you need anything at all I am here for both of you and you both will be in my prayers. I love you both! HAPPY EASTER!(a little early I know) |

| Comments: | I was thinking of Jennifer and Robbie and felt inspired to
write. Mr. Larry and Mrs. Debbie I just want you both to know how much I love and admire you. When I see you at church on Sunday I always seem to smile. You are both so very strong and courageous and I look up to you so much for that. Jennifer was such a sweet and loving girl and I'm so happy that she is spending eternal life with her Savior Jesus Christ. When I think about her I'm always overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness but just knowing that she's in Heaven is a great comfort to me. To the family of Robbie: I know in my heart that he was a wonderful young man and I can't thank God enough for Robbie's new born Faith in Christ. I just want you all to know that the memory of Jennifer and Robbie will always remain in my heart! I LOVE YOU ALL!! ~Beth |

| Comments: | My Baby, your birthday was yesterday, and I had all
thoughts of you that day. Remembering just that, your birth day. I will never forget, how I didn't quite know what to do with you. I was new to you and you were new to me. We finally got it together, and as I well know we became best friends your whole life. We had our moments, but that is suppose to be what moms and kids do. You were my whole life and I hope that you knew that. As Austin and Amanda prepare for their day of marriage today, I know you and Jenny are looking down on them and giving them a helping hand. You both would be right there in the middle of it. During the ceremony Debbie and I and I know Austin and Amanda will be thinking of both of you as they take their vows of love for one another. You will be in our hearts and our minds. Your birthday was spenting thinking of you by your dad and Teri. It was a sad birthday for them without you but they had the memories of all of the ones you had together. Every day to me is your birthday cause I will celebrate each day as if you were just born to me. I love you and and as each day goes by without you I am that much closer to getting to be with you again. MOM |

Hey there again! How are ya'll doing? I just want to tell ya'll that you are always in my prayers. I wish the best for both of you. I really enjoyed coming up to your house for the meeting. I had a really good time although I think I ate too much. Carol you were telling me that Robbie's truck was put in The World of Wheels. They thought that he might win in his division, I was just wondering if he did. I definitely thought he should have b/c his truck looked really nice. You and Willie are very lucky and Robbie was lucky to have such wonderful friends like Robbie's. Most people would rather fix their truck up than someone else's. That just amazes me on how sweet they would do that. Robbie must have been a really special person to have such good friends and I am sure that he was with such wonderful parents like ya'll. I am always here for ya'll if you need anything at all. I will keep ya'll in my prayers. I Love Ya'll Both! |

| Comments: | It has been over two months now since two of the highest
priorities of my life were lost to me. Up until this time I have been unable to sit here and try to convey my feelings for Robbie and Jennifer. It has taken most of two months just to be able to read, more than one at a time, the wonderful thoughts and messages expressed here on these pages without a total breakdown of my emotions. I never REALLY knew the depth of love I held for Robbie, or the depth of my faith in God, until these past few weeks. I never REALLY appreciated what a wonderful blessing God bestowed upon me when he breathed the breath of life into Robbie and placed him in my care. Would that with this recent realization came there the opportunity to begin anew. Robbie, my son, it seems rather silly to sit here and hope to communicate to you through the keyboard of this computer. But as I think it and as I write it, I trust and pray that God in His infinite wisdom and all-powerful abilities will bring this message to you. As your birthday approaches I cannot help but reflect on how happy your mom and I were on the day you were born. As it turned out I was doubly blessed on that day, for not only was it your birthday but mine as well. To add to our happiness my sister, who was married to your mom's brother, also gave birth to your beautiful double first cousin, Teri on that same day. You two could have passed for twins and have always looked like brother and sister. It was as if you could not wait to be born. You were over- active from the moment you first moved within your mother's womb. You were born fighting the doctor and rightfully earned your nickname of "Scrapper" that day. Memories of your nineteen short years flood and occupy my mind now every waking moment it seems. I was fortunate to be able to spend countless and wonderful hours caring for you as a baby since your mom worked evenings. We played hard and we laughed even harder. You fell out of a shopping cart AND the little league ball park stands before you were six months old. You never could be still and your curiosity was a sight to behold. You took your mom's bent-wood rocking chair apart when you were only four and then put it back together. You loved tools and hammered untold pounds of nails right into the ground. With each new accomplishment, injury or happy moment my heart would almost burst with love for you. When you were hurt, I could not help but cry with you and when you were happy, I shed crocodile tears for you. We traveled together on my job, you caught me being the tooth fairy on a trip to Vicksburg, you ate fried dill pickles in Hattisburg, I coached you for four years in baseball, we fished together, hunted together and worked together. You filled my life with joy and happiness beyond measure. Your goal seemed to be to make your mom and I proud to call you our son and you accomplished that goal beyond your greatest expectations. You complained very little, even when sick, and you took your failures and disappointments in stride. You dealt with your sorrows and a broken heart on two occasions with quiet acceptance and went on about your business. You were very forgiving of those who hurt or bullied you and your heart seemed almost too soft and too big for such a little fellow. Of course you grew up too fast for me and I will always see you as the little tyke who loved to dance to the music and jump up and down with delight when we would take you to Showbiz Pizza. Or the kid who sat on the bench throughout his final all-star game and hit one over the fence, to win the game for his team, when he finally got in the game. I will NEVER forget the look on your face when you rounded third base and found your mom and I with your eyes. What a smile... and you just KNEW how proud we were for you and your accomplishment. The birthday boy who fell and split his chin, and stained the ice red at his ice skating party, and had to go with his mom and get stitches while I stayed and kept the party alive. And finally as a young man who worked hard, met a wonderful soul mate, started building the truck of his dreams and had such good friends that they put the finishing touches on, entered it in the World Of Wheels, and won first place in memory of you and Jennifer. We set the standards high, but you accepted and lived them, and now I know you are proud that that was the way things were. Proud of you I was and am son; love you I did and always will. I miss you with every beat of my heart and sometimes the hand of despair grips my heart and crushes it till the breath literally leaves my body. There is no hurt like the pain I am experiencing since losing you. But there is no joy greater than the joy of knowing where you are now. I did not have nearly long enough to spend with you, I would never have been able to give you all the things I wanted for you, but I know that you now know just how much I love you. I know that you are in a far, far better place than I am and that given the choice you would choose to remain in that place rather than return here. Given the same choice, I would also choose for you to remain there, son. My pledge to you and God is to live my life so that I may join you in that wonderful place, where we can love, sing and play together forever. Jennifer, my sweet Jenny. You were the best thing that ever happened to my son. Your positive influence in his life was visible from the moment he met you. And what a wonderful influence it was. Your kind and loving ways not only helped Robbie through a difficult time in his life, you and your family played a big part in bringing him to Christ and his salvation. I looked forward each and every day to having you try and sneak up on us when you came for dinner. I could not wait to see what special project you had in mind for you and Robbie to tackle each week. Your smile was your trademark and I never tired of seeing you display it to the world. During the two years that you were part of our lives I came to regard you more as a daughter than as Robbie's girlfriend. I always wanted a daughter. I will never have one, but if I could, I would want her to be just like you. You were a tribute to your upbringing and it was obvious how much you loved my son. He, in return, loved you with all his heart, as you now so well know. We will always love you and miss you terribly. Thank you for coming into our lives and bringing so much love and joy with you. Each trip we took together, each activity we shared and every experience will be a memory more cherished than the most precious gem or riches. My prayer is that God will make each and every parent recognize what a true blessing and privilege it is to be given a child to nurture. That all parents will love and cherish their children with all their hearts, bring them up to seek God, and honor Him for being chosen to be so richly blessed. |

| Comments: | Jenny it was a honor and privilege to have known you. You
were such a sweet and beautiful young woman. The pain we feel can only be diminished by knowing that you are now worshiping at the feet of Jesus and that we too will someday sit beside you in His presence. Praise God!!! Debbie and Larry my heart aches for you and I pray for you every day. I have been amazed at the grace and dignity both of you have shown since Jenny's death and seeing how both of you are letting God work in your lives has been a source of comfort and inspiration to me. Robbie eventhough I didn't know you long, it was long enough to know that you were a fine young man and to see how much joy you brought in Jennifer's life. I rejoice in the fellowship you know have in Heaven with Christ Jesus. Carol and Willie please know that I pray for you both every day. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for either of you. Yours in Christ...Ronnie Romans 8:28 |

| Comments: | As Jennifer's mom and Robbie's friend, December 15, 2000
was beginning a new day and much closer to Christmas. My husband was working out of town and we had celebrated by birthday on December 13. Jennifer brought in "Captain D's for dinner and spent and blessed time with me. That night Robbie also brought in "home-made" fudge and cards. This was the last night I saw Robbie. I hugged him and told him I loved him as I prepared to go to bed that evening. He told me he loved me too and smiled so sweet. The next evening I left work to meet Jennifer to help her with her Christmas shopping. What a blessed evening. We ate, laughed, so friends from the past, and shopped so hard we had completed her Christmas shopping that night. She commented she had never finished that quick!!! I followed her home and we were talking to each other on little "remote radios". Sharing, loving, caring, smiling and spending precious moments. We were listening to gospel Christmas songs on the way home. It was about ll:30p.m. when we got home and we were both tired and had to go to work the next day.....we left the Christmas gifts in the car and went in. We exchanged hugs and kisses and off to bed. This was my last night on earth with my daughter. You see on Friday night at about 7:00 p.m. she and Robbie were driving to see his parents and they were on the Highway to Heaven. Because they had trusted God with their future and the salvation Jesus provided, I will be able to be with them again. I feel however this story is not over. Others need to know how to seal their futures with the most important decision they could ever make. You see there really is a Highway to Heaven. You won't find it on a map, but it does exist. The Roman Road is explained in the Book of Romans in the Bible, and it tells how to go to heaven. The road begins at Romans l:l6. God is the source of energy for our journey to heaven. He gives power for salvation to all who believe. We needs God's power because we all have a problem with sin. (Rom.3:23) "Sin means missing the mark or falling short of God's intended destination for us. None of us can reach that destination on our own because all of us are sinners. When we work, we earn money. Sin earns wages too---wages of death. Because God loves all sinners, He provided another route: "The wages of sinn is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). The HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN is found in Romans l0:9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." The Holy Spirit tells us we need to confess our sin and ask for forgiveness. To confess Jesus as Lord involves confessing (admitting) your sin and your need for salvation. You must repent of your sin, turn away from the direction in life that you have chosen and oben and serve Jesus. To "believe in your heart" is to place your faith in Jesus, trusting that He died on the cross to pay for your sins (Romans 5:8). If you would like to have salvation in Jesus Christ, pray a prayer like this one: "LORD JESUS I CONFESS TO YOU MY SIN AND NEED FOR SALVATION. I TURN AWAY FROM MY SIN AND PLACE MY FAITH IN YOU AS MY SAVIOR AND LORD. AMEN .......... Share your faith in Jesus with a Christian friend or pastor. I know where these Children are and I heard both of them confess and pray a similiar prayer. Their names were recorded in the "Book of Life" and gave them entry to heaven. If you died today......you can be sure of where you will spend eternity. It's only a prayer away... The price was already paid and it depends only on your acceptance. Love, Debbie (Jennifer's mom, Robbie's friend) |

| Comments: | Dear Jenn & Robbie,
I just got a computer today. This is my first time to visit your site. Jenn, I can't type so Mandy is typing this for me. I know you would get a kick out of that. We have been reading all of your mail & have been crying & enjoying listening to people talking about you & Robbie. I didn't realize how close this would make me feel to you. Jenny, I miss you so much!! You would be so proud of your mom, dad, & Austin. In everything they do, they love you & praise the Lord. Robbie, I never got to thank you enough for helping me with Alicia's wedding. You were so sweet! I enjoyed talking to you so much. Jenny, you were just a little sweetheart. Everything I asked, you helped me with & had the sweetest smile. We were thrilled when the pictures came back & you were in so many. I thank God that I got to be your aunt for 21 wonderful years. I can't wait to see you again. Jenn, check in the book for a new member, her name is Amanda Hyde. She is a new sister in Christ. I love you sweetie! Robbie, I love you! Thank you God, that we don't have to say goodbye. Thank you God, that our circle in Heaven won't be broken. Say Hey to Grandaddy for me. I Love You, Aunt Donna |

| Comments: | Robbie and Jennifer I wanted to wish you a Happy Valentines
Day! I am sure ya'll had a good one even though your family and friends couldn't spend it with you. Robbie I think of you and your family everyday. I miss talking to you and telling you all my problems. I need someone to talk to, but I do talk to you in my prayers everynight. One day I will be able to talk to you and see you again to have the wonderful friend back I would talk to, and you can let me know how you and Jennifer are. I am sure ya'll are doing great. I was so happy to see your truck in the Worl of Wheels. I am sure you looking down on it made you happy. Everyone is missing both of ya'll everymuch. The other day I got a ticket and I wish you were here so you could laugh at me for my first ticket I thought of you when I was getting it. Today I was going through some pictures and i saw one with you trying to push my mom in the pool. It just made me laugh and remember the time you would always get your blanket and put it in peoples faces when it would smell so bad. I did find a piece of your blanket on my blanket. I am glad to know i have something that was special to you because you were a very good friend to me and I thankyou for that. Hope ya'll are doing well and everyone misses ya'll very much, but I know that ya'll are in heaven and God is taking of ya'll. I also wanted to say that i was saved a month ago. Can't wait to see you again and see that wonderful smile and Jennifer's to hopefully i will be able to meet her. God Bless and we ya'll love you- Renee' |

| Comments: | Jennifer, my special sweetheart. I just wanted you to know
you are on my heart today and everyday. It seems like only yesterday you graced me with your presence. Oh, little one we've shared so much. I thank God he allowed me to have you for 21 beautiful years. We were able to share love in so many ways. You were so easy to love!!! The pain I feel is for me.... I miss you terribly. Written in tears, the grief I feel is hard to express. But still every day we spent is precious and every memory I will charish. What a blessing you have been. Honey to just hold you again and tell you again how proud I am of you. I am in complete awe to know that part of me is standing in the presence of a loving God that can keep you from hurt, lonliness, sorrow or saddness. I look forward to the wonderful reunion someday. I pray every night for God to tell you we miss you but we will be with you soon. I look around at so many people that don't know the kind of love we have been able to share. If only they knew today could be the only day that they have. If I Knew Hold your loved ones close today, Whisper in their ear, Tell them that you love them And you'll always hold them dear, For tomorrow is promised no one, Young and old alike, And today may be your last chance To hold your loved one's tight. Author Unknown I'm deeply gratefully, that we did express and show each other true love. Jennifer, you can never be replaced!! I love you with all of my heart..... MOM Robbie, son I miss you. I wondered all day today what you and Jennifer would be doing to celebrate Valentine's Day. I am so honored that I was allowed time to love you too. What you are experiencing now has to be awesome, but we miss your presence here. Robbie I will always love you and look forward to the day you can introduce me to a new life. Thank you for loving me and being a wonderful addition to this family. I pray God will give the command soon to collect the rest of us. I'm so ready to go, always listening for the midnight cry!!! I hope to see you soon. Your friend and sister in Christ, Debbie Castleberry |

I know they both are happy and peaceful up in heaven and somehow that gives me peace knowing that.When Robbie and I were younger we use to take our blankies and put them in the refridgerator until they got good and cold.Then we would sit and suck our fingers with our blankies until the coldness wore off.this would keep us entertained all day long.This is only one of my favorite memories with Robbie.Theres so much I would have liked to have shared with Robbie and its a comfort knowing that one day i will still be able to.i love you |

| Comments: | Robbie, my baby, it has been almost 2 months since I have
seen that smile, heard that laughter and "what's for dinner". I miss you more than anyone can ever know. There is not a minute, an hour, a day that goes ever so slowly by that you are not in my thoughts. Your buddies got your truck dressed up and took it to the World of Wheels like you wanted to do and they got lst place for you. I know you would have been dancing in the ailes for that. You got to show your truck off to alot of people. I have never been away from you more than a week your whole life and it is so hard to not have you here. My heart breaks with the pain of not having you close. I so look forward to the day I can see you again in heaven. I pray every day that you know how much I love you and miss you. Not only do you have the hands of God to keep you, you still have Jennifer by your side and helping to keep you safe there. Valentines Day is coming and I know you would have roses waiting for Jennifer but I will make sure she get some. The pain inside me we only be gone when I can see you again and it won't be long. Thank you for being who you are for being my baby. I love you.........MOM |

those, and she was one. I am so thankful for all of the memories. We shared everything together. We laughed, acted so goofy and crazy, cried, shared secrets and hopes and dreams. All of our trips-- they were always an adventure!! She was always there when I needed her-for anything. She supported and loved me. She included me in her family-I feel like the other sister, the other daughter. There are so many wonderful things to remember about her. She will always be with me in everything I do. One day we will be together again in the best place of all- Heaven. Until then, my sister, my friend.... I love you Jenn!! |

Oh....Jennifer, my heart breaks to see you again. Soon, baby, soon. In God's time. Now, the days are slow and somehow, because of your loss it is painfully isolated. It's now been over a month since I saw your beautiful smiling face. I can still see you in my spirit. I look forward to sleep in hopes of catching a dream of you. Jenny, you were and are my hero. I've been so blessed to have been your mother. I so looked forward to the day to be a grandmom by you. God had other plans, I have to accept that. With his tender mercy and grace, I will spend the rest of my time here with care to do His precious will. I am indebted to him for making a reunion some day possible. Sweetheart, know that every night I pray he hugs you for me. I miss you so much it rips at my very being but still....I have hope it won't be too much longer that I can be with you. I love you!!!

I never got the pleasure of meeting Jennifer and Robbie for I have just gotten the pleasure to meet ya'll. I am one of the new junior members and we fished in Kentucky Lake together for my first tournament. I really enjoyed it, everyone was so sweet and really made me feel welcome. That meant alot because I was really nervous at first. I know that if I would have gotten to meet Jennifer and Robbie that they would have been the sweetest people too. You can't be around such wonderful people as you two and something not wear off. Both of you are in my prayers and I love you both. If there is ever anything that I can do feel free to contact me because I will be happy to help in any way that I can. God Bless you both. |

there are few words that can adequately express how we feel when we lose someone we love, Robbie and Jennifer are two we grieve for, and long to see again.. it is my hope to all who see these pages, and are grieving and aching in their hearts to feel comfort from God who promises comfort for his children.. It is my hope that all who read these pages will understand that they too have a decision to make about salvation.. Robbie and Jennifer did make that decision and asked Jesus into their hearts and lives.. The hope that God gives us is based on his promise that whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord, shall be saved.. Jesus said, behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice, I will come in and supp with him and he with me.. Eternal life is a free gift of God.. in Ephesians 2;8,9 for by grace are you saved by faith and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.. We cant earn heaven, we dont deserve heaven, it is a free gift.. it is my hope that those who come to see this page, who need that salvation shall find it in the same way that Jennifer and Robbie have and so complete the circle of life together and be re-united with them again one day.. If you do not know how to pray the prayer of salvation stop and ask forgiveness for all sin, ask Jesus to come into your heart and life, ask him to wash away all sin, and lift off any burdens you have on you, he will, he is faithful that promised..and he does it for his glory and his honor.. forever amen with love, Ralph Baker |

you are both asleep in Him. You are so loved. I thank Jesus for the gift of knowing Robbie for 19 years and for knowing Jennifer for a couple of years. I am blessed. Robbie, remember not so very long ago you and Matt asked me what the shortest verse of scripture in the bible was and I said "Jesus Wept". You and Matt were always trick me wern't you?? I Never thought I would miss the tricking so bad. I believe Jesus wept on December 15th and then told you and Jennifer to come forth just as He did Lazarus. Thank you for my Christmas present. I wrap up in it every night and think of you sweetly. Robbie, I am so sorry that I didn't come to your graduation. Us adults can be so hardheaded and unthouthtful of others and I only wish I had had the smarts to tell you sooner. I'm gald you and Jennifer came to see me not too long ago and you will always have a special place in my heart. I will remind Terri forever that you are the oldest. Loving and missing you.

SHE WAS WONDERFUL TO TALK TO, LAUGH WITH, SHOP WITH, AND CRY WITH. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT SHE HAS TAUGHT ME. ONE OF THEM IS TO LOVE EVERYONE. TO THE FAMILY OF JENNIFER, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I KNOW SHE LEARNED THIS FROM ALL OF YOU. YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL, LOVING PEOPLE. ROBBIE HAD MANY GREAT CHARACTERISTIC ALSO. HE WAS FUN, LOVING, EASY TO TALK WITH, AND FULL OF LIFE. IT WAS VERY EASY FOR JENNIFER TO LOVE HIM SO MUCH. WE BONDED WITH HIM AS IT WAS EASY TO DO. HE ALWAYS KEPT OUR LAUGHTER UP AND OUR TROUBLES DOWN. BOTH JENNIFER AND ROBBIE AND THE FAMILIES OF BOTH HAVE TOUCHED OUR HEARTS WITH A GREAT IMPACT. AS WE ALL MISS THEM SO MUCH, WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY ARE HAPPY AS THEY WILL ALWAYS BE. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU FOR SCULPTING THEM BOTH INTO BECOMING SUCH LOVING PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR HEARING WHAT WE HAD TO SAY, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY CAN HEAR US TOO. WE LOVE YOU JENNIFER AND ROBBIE LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER, DAVID AND CINDY |

| Comments: | I am Carole Cook's cousin and feel so blessed to of read
such an awesome tribute to Robbie and Jennifer. May all of us have the faith in our Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, but in all our our ways acknowledge Him (Proverbs 3:5-6) Thank you for acknowledging Him. Remember that God promises never to abandon His children. So He was always there with Jen and Robbie and is there for Jenn's family and Carole and Willie's. I wanted to share something that was given to me: "Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations." Mike and I pray for unfailing strength for you all. With all our love, Gayle and Mike |

| Comments: | To Robbie's and Jennifers family I am so sorry for what
happened. I didn't know Jennifer, but from what Robbie told me she was a great girl. The Cooks I have you in my prayers everyday. God will help everyone through this, but we will always remember the good times we shared with both of them. I remember when Robbie would always call me and talk about his problems. I miss that, but i know he is looking down on everyone. Someday we will be able to see both of them again. Till then we can keep them in our thoughts. Jennifers family I heard she was a wonderful person, God is here with you. To Robbie's family I love ya'll and I am here if need anything. God Bless Renee' |

| Comments: | The last time I saw Robbie, he was at his grandfather's
house in Alpena, MI, where he was strutting his stuff on the riding lawn mower and loving the sun and the world. Met Jenn at that same time and saw in her a beautiful lady so in love. It is consoling to know that God is holding them in the palm of His hands and they will always be together in His love. God puts us on earth for a purpose and takes us home after completing that purpose. Robbie & Jenn had an impact on the their world and there's a beautiful reason for their lives....... if only to bring many of us together again, it has served me well. I love you, Carole & Willie, and keep you in my prayers daily....... Aunt Donna |

the next day may bring. God has given each one of us a special gift, love, life, family and friends. Every chance we get we need to tell the people we love and hate we love them, we are sorry, and I'll see you soon. If you do not have a close relationship with God you are missing out. Please don't get left behind. If you need help or understanding call me or email me. I'd love to talk to you. Jennifer was precious to me, I miss her. But I know I will see her soon, the question is "Will You?" I love you Jenn!!!! |

remember when he came into my bedroom and told me what happened. My heart went out to both families. I know the pain you are feeling. We also lost a child, almost 7 years ago. Please be nice to yourselves and let family and friends help you and share your grief. Remember "Grief shared is grief diminished". Family and friends should educate themselves on the grief process so that they can be there when you need them. In their memory, Beth |

However, I want to send my sincere sympathy and know that you all will be in my prayers. Between my husband and I we have 7 children (5 males, 2 females) a 6 year old grand daughter, and 3 more grandchildren on the way (Feb, April, and August). I can only imagine how much of an emptiness you have in your life at this time. But, at the same time you must also have a peace knowing that both these 2 beautiful young people are in Heaven. Once again, you are in my thoughts and prayers, please let me know if there is anything I can do. Love and Prayers. |

| Comments: | I will always remember our last supper together at the WBFA
Classic. The joy and happiness Robbie and Jennifer shared at the table with family and friends is a lasting memory. Also, I will always remember Robbies last conversation with me as we were leaving the WBFA Classic in Gadston Alabama, Robbie asked for my CD titled "Jesus You're My Hero." This was a comforting thought that a young man would want a gospel CD. I did not know at the time that would be our last conversation on planet earth. Now, I can talk to Robbie and Jennifer in Heaven through prayer!! "FISHERMAN'S PRAYER: God, grant that I may live to fish until my dying day and when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray when in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully at rest, that in His mercy I be judged good enough to pass His test." The great news; God does not have a size or slot limit, we are all keepers in his care. Now, Robbie and Jennifer are Gods Keepers. May God's blessings fill their families and friends while their pleasant memories fill our thoughts. Prayerfully, Chief-George Braswell |

| Comments: | To Willie,Carole and the Castleberry Family: I didn't know
Robbie and Jennifer as well as some of the others but as a parent, I can only imagine the pain you have all been going through. We know that God will not give us more burden than we can bear - which is why he gives us friends. Your friends come to cry with you, to share the pain - to carry some of the immense load of sorrow you must bear. It is obvious looking over this memory book and messages on the website that your families have truly been blessed by God to have so many people there to "help." It is truly sad to be separated from our loved ones but in reality, we are all going to the same place - just at different times. One day, we'll ALL be together again. Until then, my love is with you all. Kathy Magers |

| Comments: | Well,I'm not sure exactly what to say. I was in such shock
when my mom told me the news of Jennifer and Robbie's death. Mr.Larry and Mrs.Debbie, I guess I have probably known you both since you joined the church. I didn't really know Jennifer, but I did know that she was a beautiful, young woman with a bright future ahead of her. You both have always been such sweet and loving people to me, as well as my family and I am so very thankful for that. We never know what tomorrow holds, but I know that God has His own special plan for each one of us. I believe that Jennifer and Robbie lived their life exactly the way God had planned, and that on December 15,2000 He called them home. I want you both to know that I think about Jennifer and Robbie everyday, and your family will always remain in my thoughts and prayers. To the family of Robbie I send my deepest sympathies. I did not know Robbie, but through the words of others I truly believe he was a wonderful young man. I want you to know that your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. In closing I want to leave you all with this quote, "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice."--I believe that Robbie and Jennifer did just that! May God bless you all. Love Always, Beth |

| Comments: | I do not know Robbie and Jennifer but I do know Willie and
Carole. Losing a loved one is probably one of the hardest things to bare. There are no words to express the grief you are feeling and no words to express the empathy I feel with you. I can only hope that these few words wrap you in a hug. Life is like a candle, it only burns so long and so bright. From the words others have expressed about Robbie and Jennifer, their candle may not have burned long, but it burned as bright as the star over the manger and they will never be forgotten. God is with you and you are in my prayers. Pamela Gray |

| Comments: | To the Cook and Castleberry families,
I did not know Robbie or Jennifer personally but I do feel like an aquaintenance for knowing Willie and Carole. I know the agony of the sudden loss of a loved one. See, my father-in-law was killed in a wreck several years ago and it was probably the most devistating event in my life thus far. He was a very important person in my life and to lose him was mind-blowing. Granted, he was not my own flesh and blood but the loss was staggering. The reason I share this with you is just to let you know that I DO understand. Sudden loss is so unfair. We are left behind to sort the pieces and finish the business left unfinished. Though several years have passed, eight to be exact, the loss is still there, however, not as fresh. We, the entire Perry family, have survived. It really may not seem like the pain will ever ease, but it will, I promise. Be strong and take care and comfort of each other. |

| Comments: | Ralph, Thank you so much for the precious labor of love you
gave me when I read your memorial for Jennifer and Robbie. I look at these two precious gifts and realize how blessed I am to have been part of their lives. It is so comforting to know where these children are. Jennifer trusted in Jesus as her Lord at the tender age of l2 and Robbie asked and received Jesus as Lord on January 4, 2000. I thank my God thru many tears that he allowed me to know where they are spending eternity. I could not have asked for more in my precious daughter than she delivered. I was so proud of her for her accomplishments in life. As so many parents, I looked forward to sharing her life but I cannot here. I have beautiful memories but most of all I have the assurance that I will be allowed to join her in Eternity! Jennifer, how can I thank you in words that would be adequate to describe your contribution. Jennifer you had a smile that would brighten the room. Always kind, loving, caring and sharing. I miss those incredible hugs and the smell of your perfume. Just being you was enough to make me humbled at God's special gift to me. He smiled on me the day you were born and he smiled on you the day you went to be with Him. Oh, my heart aches to hold you again baby but I am trying to be strong. Robbie, my friend, I loved you too! I long to see those soft brown eyes and sweet smile. So many people God has allowed me to witness to. You are my first child that has been able to see the face of Jesus. You parents are precious people and if I could erase their pain I would. I am praying with all the strength that is left. I know that God's grace is sufficient and even now....NO MATTER WHAT... FORSAKING ALL I TRUST HIM. My friend, thank you for making life so happy for all those who came in contact with you. Most of all, thank you for making my only baby girl smile. I look forward to the day God allows me to see you again.Debbie Castleberry, Jennifer's mom,Robbie's friend |

those so young....it's just......well.........I'm at a loss for words .............. I hope that You might take a small amount of comfort in the words of a Rebbe (Rabbi, teacher) that was said a few years ago at a memorial service for a lady I never met; but that I was friends with her family....these words from the heart....................... _____________________________________________- When I die, if you need to weep Cry for someone on the street beside you And when you need me, put your arms around others And give to them what you need to give to me. You can love me most by letting hands and souls touch souls You can love me most by sharing your simchas and Multiplying your mitzvot. You can love me most by letting me live in your eyes And not in your mind. And when you say Kaddish for me, remember what our Torah teaches: Love doesn't die, people do. So when all that's left of me is love, give me away. ___________________________________________________________ Words of wisdom..........and so true... Shalom.......(peace) and Shalom. respectfully, angie (ticie K. Powers) |
