Gary W. Robertson, 58, of Richmond passed away Tuesday, May 3, 2022.
A graveside service will be held at at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18 at Washington Memorial Park in Sandston, VA.
“When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room; why cry for a soul set free!
Miss me a little – but not for long, and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared; miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take and each must go alone;
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan; a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.”
It’s not goodbye
It is until we meet again when our roads connect somewhere upon the bend
Gary, you will always live in our hearts as this witty and extremely kind person. We hate to let you go but knowing you must feel good to be free now gives us comfort and strength in this hard time. Rest In Peace!
You will be missed and always in my heart my baby brother. I so wish we could have spent more time together but here we are and we will meet again. Until then, fly high and say hello to Mom, Dad and Mark for me. RIP! I love you!
The guys and I miss you my friend. That goofy little laugh and the twinkle in your eye when you had a winning poker hand. Make us a tee time, but not too early. We miss you my brother.
Our song:
Without you, there’s no change
My nights and days are grey
If I reached out and touched the rain
It just wouldn’t feel the same
Without you, I’d be lost
I’d slip down from the top
I’d slide down so low
You never, never know
Without you, my hope is small
Let me be me all along
Let the fires rage inside
Knowing someday I’d grow strong
I could face a mountain
But I could never climb alone
I could start another day
But how many, just don’t know
You’re the reason the sun shines down
And the nights, they don’t grow cold
Only you that I’ll hold when I’m young
Only you as we grow old
I’ve been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they’re real…
You were so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I’d thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I’d thought of the right words
I wouldn’t be breaking apart all my pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you…..
Happy Birthday my love……
It’s been 100 days…..I miss you everyday, like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies….I love you so much.
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me in the warmth of your love
I miss the emergence and these moments of you
Keep me close
Safe and sound
Voices, a thousand, thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, yeah
I can’t seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I’ll see you once more
When I see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Yes, I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say good-bye
Dust and ash forever, yeah
Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I’m gonna see when it comes to glory
And I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Yes, I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Never thought I’d feel like this
Strange to be alone, yeah
But we’ll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone
Hold me, hold me tight I’m falling
Far away, distant voices calling
I’m so cold, I need you darling, yeah
I was down, but now I’m flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you’re crying, but I’ll stop you crying
When I see you, I see you on the other side
Yes, I’ll see you, see you on the other side.
I’m gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I’ll see you, see you on the other side
I’m gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side
I want to see you, yeah, yeah, yeah, see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side
I’m gonna see you, see you on the other side
Hi, it’s the year of the Water Rabbit, your year :). I miss you more each day, thought time can heal, I feel the opposite.
Lines on your face don’t bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
Late in the night when I’m all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you’re not home
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
Happy Spring, I miss you.
Long ago I wished to leave
Long ago I used to grieve,
My home seemed so forlorn.
In other years, its silent rooms
Were filled with haunting fears;
Now, their very memory comes
O’ercharged with tender tears.
Life and marriage I have known,
Things once deemed so bright;
Now, how utterly is flown
Every ray of light!
One loved voice, through surge and blast,
Could call me back again.
My soul, exulting then:
Tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
I miss you…..
I will remember you, will you remember me?
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard
So afraid to love you
But more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose
Once there was a darkness
Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had,
I miss you everyday…..
Gary, I think of you and miss you everyday. Remember we used to say this to each other while laughing at the same time?
“We’re just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl”. We were far from perfect, but we had each other.
I keep your pictures on my wall
Went half crazy now and then
But I still love you through it all
Hoping you would come back now
You were all dressed up, and they carried you away
Please don’t stop loving me now
They placed a wreath upon your door
Do you still love me today?
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
