Robert Hale Tavares

My son, kind hilarious, generous

What Robert was like

Rob was smart and sensitive, caring and funny. He didn't like for his kindness to be taken for a weakness. He often thanked me for raising him, even tattooing "Lorraine" on his arm with a red 🌹 rose.

Fondest memories of Robert

One favorite memory is: I was driving Rob to school. I was chattering his ear off. He had school on his mind. He looked at me and said, "Mom, you need someone to talk to, but it's NOT me". It struck me funny. Poor Rob, having to listen to me at 7am.
