"Friends Hold Ice Tea Stand in Memory of Robert B Linton III" / Megan Steinberg (Friends) Our Heartfelt thank you goes out to all Roberts' friends for holding an Ice Tea Stand in his memory. Megan Steinberg came up with the idea to raise money for Roberts' cause from her own recent family tragedy. Robert had wanted to be an Organ Donor but due to his injuries his organs couldn't be harvested. So, Megans' family with all the neighborhood kids got together and organized an Ice Tea Stand, a loving tribute to their friend Robert. All donations, however small or large was appreciated and given to "The Sharing Network" in Loving Memory of Robert B. Linton, III. Even though Robert couldn't physically donate this was their way of letting him still be a part of giving someone the gift of life. Our family thanks everyone for all their generosity and loving support.

Oil Painting in Memory of Robert Linton / Kelly McGovern (her brother is Roberts' friend ) Kelly McGovern never knew Robert and was still affected by our loss. Her brother Luke is Roberts' friend and from that she felt a connection. As an art student she has to pick a person she'd like to paint, so to our surprise she chose our Robert. We were so touched and honored that she wanted to do this for our family. Kelly then started the portrait from Roberts' school picture, something along the way she said happened. As the portrait started taking form she began to feel like she had known Robert just by the strokes in forming his eyes. By the time Kelly was done she was upset feeling like she was saying goodbye to her little brother. For a 16 year old to do what she has done for our family, you know she has alot of love inside to have captured our Robert the way she did. We Thank her and her family for this precious gift that is priceless to us. Love The Linton Family....Robert, Karen, Christine, Melissa, "Our Angel Robert",and Roberts' Buddydogs
A Loving Tribute / North Dover Elementary School Toms River, NJ (Classmates & Friends )
In June 2005 Roberts' School along with his classmates and friends dedicated a memorial bench at North Dover Elementary Schools playground area. It is a beautiful tribute to our son which we thank everyone for. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and the children worked so hard to make it special. From the programs, to the drawings of Robert and the songs sung, and last the wonderful Dove Release. It was the most beautiful site. The Bench reads: In Memory Of ROBERT BRUCE LINTON III -------------- Our Classmate & Friend Dedicated June 2005
The Linton Family thanks everyone for their generosity in making this a very special day for our family
To all parents on Valentines Day / Ann Mom To An Angel (passerby) There are many parents with conflicts with their children which lead to where their not on speaking terms. If they only knew the devastation a loss of a child would feel like, they would think twice of letting months or years go by without a word. Time is so precious, and to a grieving bereaved family these aren't just words. If people really understood the meaning of these words they would live their life very differently, and treasure the value of time they have with their loved ones. A mother isn't whole without all her children around her. Just think if you couldn't pick up the phone and say "i love you", that's what it's like for grieving parents. So, to all parents wish all your children a "Happy Valentines Day", we wish we could.
I'm a grieving mom and i know our sons are together, have faith it's your guide for your journey.
To my dear nephew, Soon it will be your birthday and the anniversary of when God called you to take your place among his angels. I want to wish you Happy Birthday my sweet nephew. I think of you every night and say a little prayer for you and Helen and Cheryl.

To our dear son / Robert & Karen Linton (my mom & Dad )
To our dear son, Robert. With a heavy heart we write this to you. Many have told us you are in a better place, and we know in our heart you are, but this doesn't take away the pain of losing you. We want you here with us. Many think time heals all wounds, but son not this one. You are a very important part of our family and always will be. We will never get over losing you. Our hearts are broken. There is such a void without you and for whatever reason this has happened the answer just doesn't make sense. God lent you us for a while, and in that short while it truly was wonderful. We, now take one day at a time and know that the future will be what will be. All Our Love mommy & Daddy Close

Robert, I learned of you and about you from your mother insomuch as I entered her life shortly after your passing. What a privilege to read this lovely website. You share my brother's birthday. He passed in 1980 at the age of 21 and I'm faithful you two have met. Your favorite cartoon (Sponge Bob) is my favorite as well. Now when I watch I'll think of you and that awesome smile including big-wide eyes! How cool was it that you were allowed to play hooky sometimes on Friday and have lunch with Mom? No doubt whatsoever you were the light of many peoples lives especially Dad and for that everyone who met & knew you was extremely thankful...it's quite clear. It is so terribly difficult on the living & ironically we can’t figure out how to relish the fact you graced us with your presence for 11 incredible years. Instead we mourn. But know this, from the limited interaction I’ve had with your mother.....your family while they miss you terribly, is quite extraordinary. I have had some very awesome conversations with your mother, which enabled me to know you without the benefit of ever having met you. Like you, I think she is a spectacular Mom for numerous reasons, too many to list. I' also had the privilege of meeting your sister Christine. I told your Mom one day when Christine is famous I get to say," I knew her when...." I have a sneaking suspicion Meliss will follow suit. Robert your life ended far too soon but I know you're at peace. I look forward to meeting one day. PRL
In your mothers heart forever / Shirley George (Passer by )
Karen. I think of Robert often. No one can ever know the pain of losing a child until it happens to them. Its a pain like no other. I believe the hole in the heart never heals. Like a wound it forms scar tissue that thickens in time and allows us to breath a little deeper and face life in a differnet way. My son Michael had his 48th birthday on the 27th of May. This bothered me more then his angel date of April 13th I remembered the baby they put in my arms with the black curly hair. I don't know why our boys have left before us but for whatever reason or plan the lord had I guess we have to carry on some way. Have you had any signs Karen I pray all the time for a sign. Maybe I miss some. I dropped the top for my eye drops one night and it rolled under the baseboard heat in the kitchen. I used a long thin brush to find it, used a broom, flashlight, and no luck . My oldest son & his wife were coming to visit me day before Mothers day so I decided to clean the kitchen floor. I put the litter box on the counter, picked up the rugs, sweep again, and searched under the baseboard heater again. I threw the newspaper from under the litter box in the garbage. On the day of Mike's birthday when I got up the little green top from the eye drops was on the counter. My husband said it was laying on the newspaper next to the litter box. This had to have been a sign from Mike. This was a new paper and the top was laying on the paper in front of the litter box. Silly sign Karen but none the less I believe a sign. I put it under my pillow and it stays there every night. A Mother is never very far away from their child so a child is never very far away from their Mother. Robert lightly brush you mom's cheek as she lies sleeping and sprinkle some angel dust on her pillow. Shirley, Angel Mikes Mom. Close
Another grieving Mom / Shirley George (Compassinate friends )
My heart goes out to you for the loss of your beautiful son Robert. My son was Michael Francis Ryan. I too loved the name of Francis as well as it is my favorite prayer. I belong to the " Compassinate Friends of Ocean County " My daughter lost her only child ( son ) at the age of 26. I lost my son Michael at the age of 43. We have pavers there for both and their pictures are in the gallery on the web site. I probably saw you there on dedication day but so many grieving families we were just one big circle of sadness who shed so many tears that day. It is such a beautiful park to sit and meditate and give thanks to our Lord who is now holding our children in his arms. My son Gregory wrote the memorial for his brother and I believe the Lord held the pen as he wrote this. It brings me peace from time to time to read this. If you would like me to send this to you please email me and I would be glad to send it to you. The Lord promised us all a room in his mansion and Robert is now there to share the Joy of where we will all see our dear loved ones again. You are in my prayers as this is all I have to give but the most important thing in our lives to keep us going sometimes. Our Prayers for others as well as our prayers in our own lives. God Bless You today and always. Today is my sons Angel birthday. I do hope Robert & Mike & my grandson Edwin R. Rayn have met in heaven. I think they would be great friends. Shirley A.

"Our Very Quiet Days" / Karen Linton (my mom )
Robert has always been a cherished blessing from the time I was pregnant. The feeling of peacefulness was even with me then. His soul was such a passive one that when he entered the room he lifted your spirits and made you smile. I Thank my son for that....and that feeling is soooo missed every single day. So many think they have the answer to our sorrow but the truth is there is no answer...it just is. Our hearts can't be fixed with this one. Our dinner table has an empty chair everynite not just on Holidays or at Birthday parties. His room is so silent that it's deafening. You watch as your sons friends are becoming young men and yours is gone leaving you with wondering what would he... We've become quite the actor and actresses outside the home, so behind each smile is such heartache. So, when you think we're doing better most of the time it's an act. We don't impose our heartache on anyone anymore, we keep our grief private....it's better that way for us. Coping with Roberts' death takes everything we have to get through the day and there's not much left for anything else. So, all that we ask is that you don't pass judgement on a grieving family unless you also have lost a child yourself...and then a grieving parent won't pass judgement they offer another way you might cope with your day. Since everyone grieves in a different manner, they will share ways it helps them get through to tomorrow. A parents grief is like no other it's "Endless", and it's constantly wondering "what could have been" and the biggest is "WHY" I love you and miss you terribly My Bud Love Mommy

You dont know me but... / Ashley Akers (None)
I came upon this site while i was visiting my boyfriend's. He too was taken from me by someone stupid, driving drunk and ran a stop sign on January 14, 2006. Just a day after he graduated. I know there is nothing i can say to make anything better for you. But stay strong, dont let your emotions get the best of you, and just take it day by day. I believe Josh is still here with me. All you can do is think of the good. It might help. I hope Robert's family and friends the best. Stay safe and good luck with everything. Close
