Rob,
I found a feather today and I've always been told that that means that someone in heaven is thinking of you...maybe it was you. It has been over 29 years since we met and I cherish all our long conversations and how you were always there for me. Thanks for being who you are. I miss you still.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

To the family and loved ones of Sgt. Robert Guilliams:

I wanted to honor and remember Rob today. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Rob, I feel as if I know him through the loving reflections left by friends.

I hope that God is holding him in the sweetest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul.

I am so sorry that Rob was robbed of his life so young, but through his heroism and the profound sense of duty with which he lived his life, he made an immeasurable difference. May his spirit continue to soar and may his memory continue to inspire.

To his wife Paula and his children, Ashton and Justin, I am so sorry for your loss and know that your life was forever changed by the death of your beloved husband and father. I know that he is forever in your hearts. I wish for you that you are able to live the hopes and dreams he has for your life.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Rob gave to his community and the citizens of Missouri, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 16, 2001.

When you left Ashton was 9, she is now 17 and ready to graduate from High School. She is beautiful, but still a handful. Justin is a sophomore, tall, shy and sweet, just like you were. You were my life, my friend, my mentor and my wonderful husband. Moving on without you is still so hard. Thanks for all that you did for this family and for the citizens of the US, you are still my hero. Love, Paula

Rob, I still remember each morning passing you on the road and waving. I remember that last morning that I noticed not seeing you. I remember getting the call that you had that accident and my heart sunk. It broke my heart for Paula and the kids and that you were gone. You always had a positive vibe and a warm smile. We miss you and think of you often.

It seems like only yesterday when I last saw you on patrol. You will always hold a special place in my heart and i will always consider you a dear friend. I pray that you rest in peace and even though I am sure there is no need for a patrolman in Heaven I am sure you are there and helping to brighten everyday there as you did here! I consider it a pleasure to have known you and to be able to call you my friend! I thank God for allowing me to work with you from time to time and that you were able to touch so many lives in such a positive way! You may be gone from here but you will never be forgotten dear friend!

Dear Rob,
It has taken a long time to come to this page and read or write anything for you.. I'm sorry for that, but it's very hard to find all the right words to say.. How do we express our gratitude for having someone like you in our lives, if even only for a short while? How do we not feel guilty for not spending more time with you when we could have made the time? How do we not regret that we don't have more pictures of you than we do? How do we get past the hurt, and not miss you so much.. Your in our thoughts always, and we'll remember how proud of you we are forever... What an inspiration you are.. Love and blessings always, even if just in our memories..

Monica, Paul and Kids..

I will never work for another SGT. who will teach me more about being a good citizen and person in order to be a good officer.
I know Rob is close by when I'll be on Brown's Grocery lot in the Heights, early one summer morning or where ever I may need his strength.

Uncle Rob,

You will always be with me. I won't forget all the summers I spent with you and Aunt Paula when you lived at in Sikeston. I won't forget all the jokes and laughs you gave me. I won't forget how much you mean to me and my family and the impact you've made. Austin will know who you are. I am going to put pictures up of you and tell him what a wonderful father, husband and Uncle you are. How devoted to God and your family you are and I will make sure your great nephew(Austin) will love you and know you as if he had known you all his life. You are truly a blessing and may we meet again.

I love you and will always love you,
Crystal
