Hey Bobberz,

Well I am at Indiana now, and I just thought I would write and say hi from college. I miss you soo much and I think about you everyday. I have a nice picture of you on my desk and it reminds me of all the happy times we shared. I hope you are watching over me and protecting me. I Love You with all my heart and I miss you more than you could ever imagine. You will be forever in my heart and in my dreamz Bobberz.

Love Always Your Big Sis,

Hey Bobby. I miss you so much. All I can really say is that you were my brother for a few months there when your family took me in, and it was awesome. The laughs, love, and wholeness of that house brings back memories that were the best times of my life. When I visit and your not there, its just not the same. I miss the "What up Faloonz?" You brought a smile to my face everytime. Thanks for always being a part of the laughs. And thanks for being a huge presence in my memories. I miss you.

With love,

Audrey

6*29*05...i love and miss you!

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cuz I know that you feel the same way

Your the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I dont want to go home right now

All I can taste is this moment

And I can breathe is your life

Then sooner or later its over

I just dont want to miss you tonight

..I need you more than ever now, I love you so much! I cant go on without you bobs..

whats up bob? thought i'd write to you just to say thank you for everything you ever did for me and that I miss you. Much love always bro...Gabes.

jackie col steph and i were at the glen the 10th had an awesome time... steph and i slept at the leibrandts tht night... bobby came in the room telling us tht he just got 3 tickets.. i told him tht its going to be easy because thats what my older brother Bo told me. He smiled and said thanks then said good night to all of us. In the morning the 11th everything was perfect mr. Leibrandt was making his delicous pancakes and danny was spilling everywhere hah. I left that morning... later i was on my way to stephs house when me and my mom saw Mrs. McDonagh crying she stopped us and my mom got out and talked to her. My mom came in the car and told me the horrible news. I couldnt believe it. i was crying soo much and i felt SOOO bad for the Leibrandts.I told my mom that i would do anything to bring him back! and that i couldnt believe this news. Later that night i went to stephs house with col and ovecouse steph and we cried together then jackie called and we invited her over and so we went to the leibrandts and picked her up. when i took a step in there house i saw everyone ther crying and my heart just dropped i didnt kno what do say besides im soo sorry... i even think i didnt have a voice that moment. We left after about 20 min. later and went to the leinbachs just seeing jackie there with a broken heart and there whole family made me feel soo bad. I felt horrible for them and i told them i will do anything for them if they need a helping hand.

Bobby i love you and i will never forget those times i saw you at your house they mean so much to me.

i love you Bobby and i will never forget you!

Remember when we were younger and I always made you wake me up, so one morning you taped a sign to my ceiling hanging down so when I woke up it was right infront of my face! haha you were always so caring, making sure I was home at night and calling me all the time to see what I was up to. I miss your nightly phone calls..and I miss hearing your voice on the intercom. I love you and I'll write back in here soon. Your lil sis, kell

Hey bro..I miss you so much! I was watching all the home videos the other day and I kept thinking about Wisconsin and how you went skiing on your back..haha..and all the 360s you did on the jet skis and the fun time we had! your the best and home isnt the same..its not fun anymore, maggie and jackie try to fight with me but it really doesnt work! Its so wierd to think about how close we were, it was scary. I think about that everyday. Best friends are hard to come across, and Im luck enough to have had you for my whole life in my house. You were so fun and I bet you still are. I miss you more than anything bro..keep smiling and watching over your sisters..xoxox

Hey sweetie...im very sorry that i havent wrote you in a long time...i miss you soo much bobby...i may not be as close to you as some people who have signed this guestbook but the point is that i knew you...not a day goes by since you've been gone that i dont think about you...i have a button with a picture of you in it and i wear that practically everyday...people always ask me who is that on your button and i tell them but it hurts inside to talk about it...i have never lost anyone that i knew personally before, until this experience...but i will always remember that i gained an Angel out of this and you will always be there for me whenever i need a shoulder to cry on or someone to just listen to me when something has gone wrong...i know i can always count on you...on Dec. 15 i wrote a poem to you...i will send it to you in another entry because this one is too long already...i guess ill let you go for now...keep watching over me your doing a great job at it...



...:::I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU SOOO MUCH BOBBY:::...



-Hugs 'n' Kisses-

May Bobby rest in peace.

Dear Leibrandt Family,

I attended 7th grade with Bobby, and can not ever remember him in a bad mood or ever disliked. Like everyone has said and I'm sure you'll hear it thousands more times, Bobby made us laugh. Bobby was a good kid. I'm honored to have met him because I had finally met a challenge in making others laugh. Though we had sparcely hung out outside of school, I do remember the times I did and the fun we all had. Having just heard this news through the local school channel, I was shocked and pushed to tears. I am extremely sorry for your loss, and I hope that Bobby won't be forgotten.

hey bobby, i dont even know what to say anymore, i mean i adored you. everytime i saw your face i would get this big smile on my face. i only knew you for a year but i feel like its been longer, i became best friends with your lil sis kel and your famliy made me feel apart of your family and that was the best thing that happend to me. i dont know what im goin to do when i dont see you walk into school late or see you and pat goofing off after school, you will be in my heart forever and there wont be one day that goes by i wont think about you, i will tell my future family about how special you where and still are and how you made everyones life better. we all miss you more then we can say. but i want to let you know i love you and always will. to Mr. leibrandt, paula, erica,katey,kel,maggie,jackie,and danny i love you guys like your my family i will always be here for you! *~lauren~*

Hey Bobby..

Just wanted to say hi, and that I miss you so much. I feel so empty without you here, and I still feel like your coming home. I do not know why you did this, and why you did not come to me on that day, but no matter what, I will always love you. I cannot picture my future with out you, and all the events in my life that you will not be attending. I know you will be watching from heaven, but I wish I could expierence everything with you right next to me. I find myself telling everyone everyday about you and how much fun and how loved you were and still are. You are the best. There is a part of me that died along with you, but I need you to help me keep the other part strong. I know now what it is like to be lonely, and I just pray that you are not feeling that way, but are happy now and in a better place. I Love You with all my heart and soul.



Love Always,

Yaterz

Hey bobbers..I just wanted to say hi and that I miss you so much. I dont know how Im going to survive on without you. Everythings going to be different. I keep thinking about how you wont be there to see me get into college, accomplish something in swimming, get married or even have kids..I know your up above but its not the same without you. Im not myself anymore, and I dont know how to ever be myself again. You were my bestest friend in the entire world and I'll never ever ever forget you. Im even getting a tattoo with your inicials! haha thats if erica and dad let me.. Im sorry I didnt get to say good bye and that I loved you one last time but I know that you know I loved you more than anyone in this world. You were my strength and you were the person who kept me going. I love you more than anything your the best xoxox your lil sis..kellers

It's been a little over a month since I last saw your smiling face. Although I know you have found a better place, the world will never be as warm and beautiful without you. I remember one time I was at your house and Chelsea and I woke you up from a nap, and of course your boxers were leapord print. I remember Kelly and I would leave notes on your Jeep after our swimmin practice so you would get them after football. There are so many memories I have of you that will I will never ever forget. There are many questions I have that are still unanswered, however there are a few things that I am certian of. I am certian that Dannerz will miss out on never be able to have such an amazing brother like you, whenever I look at him I see you. I know that the girls will be lost without their goofy, yet caring brother. And I know I will eternally miss you as a friend. And I also know you are watching down on us every single day and that the best day of my life will be when I see you in heaven. Love and Happiness Always, Katie

To my dearest family

Some things I'd like to say

But first of all to let you know

That I arrived okay.



I'm writing this from Heaven

Where I dwell with God above

Where there's no more tears of sadness

There is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy

Just because I'm out of sight

Remember that I'm with you

Every morning, noon, and night..



That day I had to leave you

When my life on Earth was through

God picked me up and hugged me

And He said, "I welcome you"..



It's good to have you back again

You were missed while you were gone

As for your dearest family

They'll be here later on..



I need you here so badly

As part of My big plan

There's so much that we have to do

To help our mortal man.



Then God gave me a list of things

He wished for me to do

And foremost on that list of mine

Is to watch and care for you...



And I will be beside you

Every day and week and year

And when you're sad, I'm standing there

To wipe away the tears...



I wish that I could tell you

Of all that God has planned

But if I were to tell you

You wouldn't understand.



But one thing is for certain

Though my life on Earth is over

I am closer to you now

Than I ever was before..



And to my very many friends

Trust God, He knows what is best

I'm still not far away from you

I'm just beyond the crest.



When you are walking down the street

And you've got me on your mind

I'm walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind..



And when you feel that gentle breeze

Or wind upon your face

That's me giving you a great big hug

Or just a soft embrace.



And when it's time for you to go

From that body to be free

Remember you're not going

You are coming home to me.



And I will always love you

From that land way up above

We'll be in touch again soon..



P.S. God sends his LOVE...

Dear Leibrandt family,

I am so sorry for your loss, Bobby was a great person and will forever be missed. I admire all of you for staying strong through this hard time. Every time i drive past Bobby's car and see the candles on his car just brings back the memories. Bobby, you were the pride and soul of our village of Golf, and you will never be forgotten!

Dear Katey, Kelly, Maggie, Jackie and Danny,



Just a few thoughts for your comfort--



Wear Bobby's t-shirts as pajamas...



Use his middle name or nickname as your computer password for everything - you will never forget it...



Start a tradition - once a year, every year, on his birthday, go to his favorite restaurant - and celebrate his life...



make his favorite sports team your favorite sports team...



let his favorite song become your family song...



don't hide your emotions -- when you feel like crying, cry. When you feel like laughing, laugh. It doesn't matter where you are(at school, watching, shopping, at a ball game) -- your friends will want to laugh and cry with you. Everyone misses Bobby...



Talk about Bobby whenever you want -- all of the time if you have to -- everyone will want to share his memory with you...



I promise you -- the pain will eventually subside -- but you will never, ever stop missing Bobby. He will always be in your heart. And know that when something good happens to you, Bobby will have been a part of it...



May your faith in God help you get through this very sad time...



May the knowledge that there are so many people who want to share your grief with you -- who will embrace you with open arms and share in your sadness -- bring you comfort. Bobby touched the lives of many people...



And never hesitate to tell someone that you love them -- those three words "I love you" can get you through anything...



May Bobby's smile remain forever in your hearts.

Thought I'd send you a sweet passage to remember Bobby by --



"When I leave you,

Don't weep for me.

Just remember how my laughing pleased you.

Look at one another smiling,

And don't forget about touching.

Sing the song that I love best

And dance one time all together.

As for me,

I'll be off running,

Somewhere on the beach,

And I'll fly to the top of the tree

I always meant to climb.

When you are ready,

I'll be there,

Waiting for you.

Take your time."



Love and laugh with each other -

it's what Bobby would have wanted...

Dear Leibrandt Family,

Below is a poem that gave me great comfort when I lost a loved one - may it bring you comfort as well.



We little knew that morning,

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone.

For parts of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.



God Bless You.

Bobby-



We have known you for many years.. We have talked about life's trivals and common knowledge.



Paula words cannot express our loss to you and your girls!!!!



We are lost for words, "speechless...." as well as dumbfounded.



(Bobby)



The Holiday's and New Years just have not been the same this time and will not for many many more.



Our tears go out to "YOU" and your Family !



We miss you so much :(



Every time we think of your "cute smile" and your "blue eyes" it breaks our hearts!!



You are happy in God's hands a/m (amen)

We love you

Love "GLENVIEW GIRLS"

Merry Christmas Bobberz!!



Love Always,

Your Big Sis Katey

Dear Leibrandt Family,

I am so sorry that Bobby is gone. I met him about 2 months before I left Glenview to come here to Memphis. My friend and I met him at football practice one cold, winter day. He was such a nice and wonderful person. I didn't even know that he was Kelly's brother. I went to Springman with Kelly for 7th and 8th grade on the Mosaic team. She was such a magnificent person and swimmer. My friend Britney Carter that went to school with Kelly and I lives and Arkansas and called me early this month and told me the sad and agnonizing news. At first I didn't believe her, but then she told me to come here to this website. I immediately went upstairs to my room and saw him and Kelly's picture in the Springman 2002 yearbook. I want to send a card to the Leibrandt family if I can find the address. I love you all with my heart and Im glad I never forgot who Kelly and Bobby were. I hope you all are okay and make it through with God's help. GOD BLESS YOU.

Bobby: I will miss you, you were a friend to me when no one else would be. I can still remember when we used to just sit there and play with my Lego trains when we were little, we would always see how far we could get the trains to slide across my hardwood floor when we ran them off of the tracks. You will be with me forever. Watch over me, I will miss you old friend. To the Leibrandts: I am so sorry for your loss, Bobby was a great friend to everyone, he will be missed.

To the Leibrandts,

I still can't believe that Bobby is gone. He was such a great guy, really and truly one of a kind. When I worked at Viccinos he would come in once in a while with his friends. They always seemed to be planning their next big adventure. That's how I'll always remember Bobby, carefree, surrounded by his endless amounts of friends, with that big smile on his face.

I miss you Bobby! Goodbye Cuz.

The Leibrandt family,

I am so sorry this had to happen. I am a good friend of Maggie's and she is a great person too. I love all you of and I'm SO sorry. Rest in peace Bobby, I'm sure in heaven, you will have many aquaintences.

I am sorry.

Once Jesus was asked,'Lord why must we die? Jesus looked up and said. It's the cycle of life to die therefore, love one another, take care of one another, speak well of one another, don't abandon one another and if you do all these things, you will be Victorious over Death. Please take care of one another in these coming days of sorrow and bewilderment.

Dear Leibrandts,

I only met Bobby a few times. I wish I would have made the time to get to know him better. However, the few times I did talk to him, I left with a better feeling. As everyone has said, Bobby just had that way. Bobby will be missed by many and will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Bobby,



I will miss you so much. You were like a big brother to me. I have so many good memories of all the fun stuff we used to do together. My favorite memory is all of the times we were swimming in Grandy and Papa's pool and you were throwing us around. Thanks for all the things you taught me. Like video games, legos, skateboarding, and teasing my sisters. I love you Bobby and you will always be with me.



Love,

your cousin Joe

R.i.p bobby. ull always be remebered. im so sorry for the leibrandt family. i realy hope you can get through the tough times without booby. i cant even come close to imagine what kind of pain you must be feeling. maggie im always here for you.

- laura -

Bobby,



You were the greatest cousin I could ask for. I will always remember all the fun times swimming at Grandy & Papa's house, you would always throw us into the pool. I would remember all the little cousins jumping on you and having a great time. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my heart!



Love your little cousin,

Stephie *I love you*

Bobby was a genuinely nice person with the biggest heart in the world. Always trying to make others laugh and smile, he constantly made me happy. The times I have shared with Bobby are more important to me than anything. I will never forget his jokes and his laugh, and the way he loved his family and friends. I think about Bobby and the Leibrandt family everyday. You guys will always be my favorite cousins, I can't believe you have had to experience this horrible tragedy. Emily and I want to come visit you guys and give each of you a big hug. I miss and love you all so much.

I miss him so much and I wish your family the best in these hard times. Bobby will be in my heart always and I will never forget his sweet smile and his orginal humor that aways brought a smile to my face. I love you all.

Bobby was in my math class for two years at Springman and I will always remember him as a happy-go-lucky young man who had the ability to make those around him laugh and enjoy life. It is a tragic loss for anyone who has ever known Bobby. May you find strength and peace in the love of friends and family.

I'll lend you a little time, a child of mine, He said. For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three, But will you, til I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true. And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call, or take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may; And for the happiness we've known, will ever grateful stay. But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. God Bless You Liebrandt family, and may all your memories sustain you.

Dear Leibrendt Family, I am sorry for the lost of your son, brother and grandson. I baby-sat Bobby Sr., and he was dear to me. I never had a chance to meet Bobby Jr.,but I know he was as lovable as his dad.

May God keep His arms around the family,and bless everyone.

Love you

Big Guy,

For nearly three decades I have been in alot of ways a part of the Leibrandt family. Going all the way back to spending Thanksgiving dinner w/ your entire family @ Juno. Being an usher in your wedding. Visiting at least once, if not twice a year, almost every year since '82. And on each visit I had the pleasure of sleeping in one your children's rooms. I've been there w/ all the kids and quite honestly have always envied you for all the love and support you gave each one. I could only hope to be half the father you've been. You and I have had a very special friendship and I really believe you to be a true brother to me and vice versa. You have always been there for me and have helped me more than you'll ever know. Of course I haven't been the best God Father to Jackie Rose, but I promised her I will improve. I was extremely proud of you and your composure during the eulogy. You were flat out awesome. Your strength and your humbleness reminded me why I've always considered the man one of my very best friends for life. I'm here for you now. It's time to pick up the phone and talk to me..call me every day I don't care or I'll be calling you. Even TBG could use some additional strength from those who love him the most.

Your daughters also were incredible today. I was so proud of the way they handled this very difficult situation. Don't ever, ever try to blame Bobby's death on yourself...you are, have been and always will be a fantastic father.

On behalf of those people closest to me, we send our deepest regrets. We love you and all the Leibrandts. May God bless you always.

With a heavy heart,

Your Bro Nick-a-zee

I only had the privlage of talking to bobby one time, and as i'm sure it happens a lot i was laughing the entire time we talked, I could tell he truly liked to make people laugh. I don't think it is possible to dislik someone like him. May he rest in peace.

Leibrandt's, I am deeply sorry for your loss, I think i speak for all of GBS when i say you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Leibrandt family,

I am very sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers go out to you. Although I did not know Bobby well, I met him a few times before at school. One time was all I needed to realize he is a special person. His smile alone brings sunshine into the lives of many. He will be dearly missed. Stay strong.

Leibrandt Family,



What can I say about Bobby? I was never best friends with him, however, I have hung out with him on a few occasions. I remember the one time he was at my house, all he did was sit in my lepard print chair and make fun of everything and make me, Amaber, JD and Matt, laugh. Every other memory I have of him is with Paul or Pat. The three of them were amazing together. Bobby was the funniest kid I have ever met and probably ever will. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is for you guys to go through this, but know that everyone loves Bobby and everyone loves you guys. We are always here for you to help you through the darkest of times. My heart goes out to you and everyone that has felt this great loss. It's always good to know that you have so many people to rely on.



When I walked into school on Monday, I thought that someone put the school on mute. Not a person could get a word out, everyone was too emotional and no one could stop crying. I saw the biggest football players, shamelessly weeps their hearts out. If that isn't saying something, I don't know what is. Bobby was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.



May your days get better as they pass, and let Bobby fade to a sweet sweet memory of a boy who was too young to die. "A song for a heart so big, God wouldn't let it live."

Dear Leibrandt Family,

I did not know many of you well, but I feel absolutely aweful about your immense loss. I cannot even begin to imagine what pain you all are going through. Just remember in this hard time, your family has so many people that love and appreciate you, as well as Bobby. From what I hear, he was one amazing kid! And all of you should be proud to have helped create him and his awesome personality. My most deepest condolences go out to every one of you along with my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All.

Dear Leibrandt family- Words cannot even express how much pain that you are going through right now. People can only admire the strength that you show. Losing a brother/son is something that you never imagine happening. But the strength and faith that you show has amazes everyone around you. You are all so strong. Bobby will be deeply missed. But know that one day you will see him again . STAY STRONG!

"Souls do not disintegrate and die

Years pass and yet they do not fade away

Memories are like a distant star

Pouring forth its light across the void.

All our tears and laughter do not lie

Though we pass like dreams... our spirits stay

Held fast by love which is just what we are

Yet in a form that cannot be destroyed..we love you bobby"



Dear Leibrandt Faimly

Bobby was a great kid with a great smile. We will never for get that. We will never forget him. His soul still walks with us, helping us. We will miss him dearly.

Dear Leibrandt Family,



I am so sorry to hear about Bobby... I have such fond memories of the years that I babysat for all the kids every Saturday. From cottage cheese and french dressing to sliding down the stairs on Maggie's baby mattress, I will always remember all the fun times and what a fantastic family you are. You are in my prayers and thoughts.



Sincerely,

Pam

To the Leibrandt family,

Bobby was the most incredible person I had ever met. Through all the hard times we went through at school, he always found a way to make everyone smile. He was the most caring and funny person anyone could ever ask for. There are no words to describe how I'm sure you are feeling. I hope you know, Bobby will be deeply missed by me, and everyone at Glenbrook South. I am so sorry for your great loss. God Bless You all.

To Bobby: Bobby, you made my face light up everyday at school. You were the only person on earth that could walk into my Spanish class and not get kicked out by Mr. Bauman. May you rest in heaven and peace. I am praying for you Bobby. I know you are watching over everyone and are making sure that all is well. I love you Bobby, and I miss you so much. You will always be remembered in our hearts. RIP Bobby Leibrandt 2-4-88~12-11-04

Bobby---



I can't belive that you are actually gone...when I heard the news my heart just dropped to the bottom of my stomach...I couldn't believe that this happened...Your funeral was today and I am terribly sorry that I could not be there...Even though I live in Arkansas I will always remember the first time we met...and all the smiles you gave me when I saw you in the halls...I never got to say good-bye...but I will get to say Hello again when I see you in heaven...nothing will be the same without you here...your always in my heart, prayers, and you will never be forgotten...WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU
