ROBBIE HOLLERN
BORN 31ST JULY 2001 BECAME AN ANGEL 31ST JANUARY 2008
Robbie lived in Balloch with his mum, dad and wee sister Rosie.Julie.
He was born healthy on time and developed normally until 20 months old when he woke up and had what
we thought was a shake or shiver. These continued more frequently over the next few days. After
taking him to the doctors where they seemed really concerned about Robbie's developement delay which
we had never noticed, being our first child we watched Robbie reach milestones which to us seemed to
be on time. Talking, crawling, standing, pulling himself up at furniture and playing with toys for
his age.
Any developement Robbie had deteriorated rapidly until it was no more, we were doing everything for
him. He was being treated for myoclonic epilepsy as they had no diagnosis for us at this stage.
After nearly 2 years and more deterioration the doctors did further tests where this confirmed
Robbie was now blind and he was then diagnosed with INFANTILE BATTENS DISEASE which is the most
aggresive form of Battens. At this time I was pregnant with my second child and had about 6 weeks to
go. They asked if I wanted tested then but what would have been the point. We decided to wait till
after the birth and try enjoy our first few months with our new baby.
This was'nt to be and after about 6 months we had Rosie.J. tested and it was confimed that she also
had the disease. We were absolutely devastated. How could life be so cruel, not only were we going
to lose one child now another.
Robbie was such a handsome beautiful and wonderful boy who touched the hearts of everyone around
him. Even people who had just maybe read his story in the paper. Our hearts are breaking and we miss
him so much we still cant really believe he is not here. Rosie keeps us going, we try live day to
day but it is hard not to think ahead as we know what is in store.
You will find anything you want know about Battens on the internet.
IN MEMORY OF OUR TWINKLING STAR ROBBIE XXX
ROBBIE NOW HAS A NEW LITTLE SISTER ROXIE JOY WHO WAS BORN ON 24TH JUNE 2009. SHE IS HEALTHY AND FREE
FROM BATTENS DISEASE.
AT YOUR SCHOOL
Hi Robbie, popped into your class today when up at the nursery with Rosie.J. Jan took me out to the sensory garden to see your dragonfly windchime as they now have it in the garden and I had'nt seen it up yet. It looks great as I'm sure you already know as I hear you have been letting both Jan and Davina and Rosie's teacher know that you are near when they have been visiting it! Was lovely to see all your friends as I hav'nt popped in for a while as I was finding it difficult for a while. They are all getting so grown up looking. They all miss you as we all do.
Anyway handsome will go for now you take care.
Love you Mum xxxxxxx
I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
AND KNOW GOD MUST HAVE HEARD,

I DIDN'T ASK FOR WEALTH OR FAME,
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MIND,
I ASKED HIM TO SEND TREASURES
OF A FAR MORE LASTING KIND.
I ASKED THAT HE WOULD BE NEAR YOU
AT THE START OF EACH NEW DAY,
TO GRANT YOU HEALTH AND BLESSINGS
AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR WAY.
I ASKED FOR HAPPINESS FOR YOU
IN ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL,
BUT IT WAS FOR HIS LOVING CARE,
I PRAYED FOR MOST OF ALL.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Have tears on our pillow case
Its because we long to see you

Why did you have to leave us,
Why did we have to part,
The worse day of our life that day,
And it really broke our heart.

Mother's Day
Hi Robbie, mother's day without you not quite the same! Miss you just as much as every other day. Went to Robin house to pick up your wee sis as she was coming home after her stay. I had a lovely sunday lunch which was very nice just could'nt move much afterwards, dad had to come and help load up the car and help us get home. I suppose you have seen for yourself that Saul and Savannah Rose have now lost their fight with cruel Battens Disease and have become angels. I know you and all your friends will make them welcome and I'm sure it will be nice for you to see them again as it has been a while. Watch over their mum and dad and new baby brother Zak as they will need a lot of care and support at this time. We were just in the middle of trying to arrange a date to go visit them and the new baby at Rachel house. No-one knows more than us just how suddenly you's can be taken. Well I am going to go for now and get to my bed, back to early starts tomorrow as R.J is home and going back to nursery all being well. Keep her safe for us. Love and miss you lots Robbie.
Mum xxxxxxx
i found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin i found
pennies come from heaven
that's what my dad told me
he said angels toss them down
oh, how i loved this story
he said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That robbie has tossed to you
love and thought to you always
god bless
