Einy Robertson
Died 6.10pm, Saturday 18th March 2006 of a malignant brain tumour
Aged 31
Teacher - Head of Science
North East England
Leaves behind adoring wife Nicky, parents Helen & Raymond, sister Jane & brother-in-law
Howard, parents-in-law Brenda & Bert, sister-in-law Jo & brother-in-law Clive, nieces Beth
and Therese, nephews Tom and Joshua, great nephew Baptiste and great niece Evane.
My husband’s name is Einy (pronounced eye-knee). He was a Geordie through and through - but his
mother is German (that's where the name comes from).
Einy was like Tigger, always full of fun and mischief, always smiling and making people laugh – it
was what he was made for. To his credit, Einy’s jokes were usually at his own expense – he’s
the only person I’ve ever met who would admit to embarrassing things (like saying ‘thank you’
to a cash machine) just to see someone’s face light up in a smile. I’ve never met anyone who
didn’t like him, everybody who knew him loved him.
We were married in July 2005 - it really was the happiest day of our lives. No-one knew it would be
so swiftly followed by the worst.
We were together 12 years and 1 month exactly on the day that he died.
Einy was my whole world. We did everything together. He was my best friend as well as my husband. I
love him so much it hurts. We grew up together, we were meant to grow old together. We wanted to
fill our house with our babies – he would have been a fantastic Dad, he had a real rapport with
kids maybe because he still was a big kid himself. He never lost his sense of humour and fun, even
during his short illness.
Einy was a gifted and inspirational teacher, who made a difference to so many lives. The children
from his school did a book of remembrance which was signed by over 500 people. He was truly unique
and will never be forgotten.
Our Best Man
Three years ago today you did us the honour of being our best man. When I had to pick somebody to ask to do the job you stood out by a Country mile and it was an easy choice to make. You were always on hand to offer advice and share a joke. You were always Mr Reliable. How could I ask anybody else?
You did a great job on the day and making me neck that Jack Daniels before the ceremony really helped out!
Your after dinner speech sums you up. You had clearly spent hours making sure you got it right and it kept the guests entertained. How can anybody forget those infamous words - 'happy wedding?' (I know, blame my mom) It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it and as for the blow up sheep . . .
Once again, thanks for a doing fantastic job.
I can't believe that three years has flown by and you're not around anymore. Thanks for the good times. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for being our best man.
Here's to you mate.

I just would like to offer my sincerest sympathy my thoughts are with your wife and the rest of your family.
People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive.
Einy you sound like a fun loving smiley person, that is what this world needs more people like you then the world would be a better place to be.
Take care of your family and friends.
R.I.P Einy
Mr Robertson, it’s so hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years. I’ll always remember, even when you weren’t teaching us that period, always popping into Miss Stirland’s classroom to show us new exciting explosions. You were such a down to earth teacher, during lessons you seemed more of a mate than a teacher. No-one misbehaved in the lessons you taught us, not because we were scared of your giant stature, but we just had so much respect for you. I hope you realise how many of your student’s lives you made a difference to!
I still haven’t been able to listen to ‘Goodbye my lover’ or ‘Songbird’ without thinking about you since your funeral.
My thoughts are with Nicky and the rest of your family.

Do Believe
by Jennifer Janiszewski
There is nothing i can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear
There are no answer's I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared
I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back
He never really left
I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday
He is every you step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart
I would like to offer my sincerest sympathy to Nicky and all the family. I know exactly what you are going through, and I mean exactly, as I lost by darling husband Ian, aged 32, in Oct 2006 from a brain tumour. We were married just 3 years, when Ian was diagnosed, and we fought Ian's illness together for 3 years. We never got the chance to have children, and like you the future we were meant to have has just been snatched in such a cruel and tragic way. Ian was and is everything to me, and I pray that Ian and Einy are both in heaven, looking down on us both, and are proud of us, as we are so proud of them. May God bless you and if you want to contact me, please do. I live in Surrey.
To my Beloved
To My Beloved
by Celia Wenig
You had a talent for bringing special meaning to life,
It was such a pleasure to be your wife.
You helped me to grow and to realize
The fullness and the beauty in our lives.
Every day I counted my blessings.
Then God called, and you went away
Out of this world to a brighter day.
Suddenly my life of gladness
Turned to utter sadness.
My grief wears me down, I shed so many tears,
As I recall your love and devotion through the years.
For your sake and in memory of your name,
I pray for strength to do things the same.
To reach out, to fill the hours with useful ways,
To comfort, to cheer and have no more empty days.
I try to console myself -- it was God's greater plan,
So I must accept it, if I can.
You moved away to His splendid home above,
If there is life after death,
I know you will be waiting there for me,
With love.
Though Heaven and Earth divide us, and the distance is so great,
I count my blessings for the years you were my mate.
I will live my life remembering, while you wait, slumbering.
My beloved, may you rest in peace.

On My Own
when we were married
they told us we were one,
but they never told us
what to do when half of one is gone,
what do you do
with half a life
or half a will to care?
what do you do
with half a heart
now the other half's not there,
you were the other half of me
a heart linked to my own,
what do i do
with half a life
now i am on my own
Tomorrow
When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand...
That God came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready
in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as i turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, i'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It almost seemed impossible
That i was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If i could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then i fully realised,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when i thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when i did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when i walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From his great golden throne,
He said,
I'm sorry to say that I do not know Einy but I met Nicky in 2006
Nicky has written a fantastic tribute and there are the most amazing messages on this site from others. Einy sounds wonderful.
I know I don't know the man himself, but I am saddened that Einy has been robbed of his life and Nicky robbed of her life with the man she loves so much.
My reason for posting is to pay a tribute to Nicky for surviving so far.
Please take care of yourself Nicky,
Lots of love
