Robert Bakula Memorial Service & Burial

My name is Sara Andres and some of you know me as Robert Bakula's girlfriend.  I know that for many of you the news of Rob's passing has or will come as a shock. Rob was full of life and had recently over the last year embraced a new life, clean and sober, full of promise. I'm sure you all know that Rob had a great sense of humor. He was funny and fun...he loved to give it to you but could just as easily take it with a smile and a laugh. Rob loved music - he especially loved his hip-hop. He loved his Tank game! Rob loved our Chicago Bears and the Cubs. He loved our little rescue puppy - a funny, jumpy, tiny Chihuahua puppy named Raphael who couldn't wait for "Daddy" to come in the door after work.  Robert was so very intelligent, had a vast vocabulary, and enjoyed banter and word play. When I met Robert, if I'm being honest, it was one of the things that attracted me to him first. Rob would write me little notes and love letters every day, trying to impress me, and wait for me to respond... and of course I did!  We learned a lot about each other that way.  Rob was generous in his actions and in spirit, and he was a kind and non-judgemental person...I have to say he made me want to be a better person. I loved him very much and I don't think my life will ever be the same without him.
Although Robert had definitely lived on borrowed time and struggled with his demons, I do not think anyone could walk in Robert's shoes nor judge his pain after he tragically lost his entire family over the last several years.  Robert now joins his family but I hope to complete his final wish and ensure that he is buried with his beloved mother and twin sister. At this time, I am asking for donations to provide a memorial service for Rob as well as to fulfill his wish and bury his remains alongside his twin sister, Joanna, and his mother, Bronislawa Bakula . Many of you will be Rob's friends, and loved ones that I have not met - Please accept my sincerest sympathies..Rob meant alot to many people.  Not in a million years did I think that I would have to bury my 38 year-old love, my Robert. We were not financially prepared for this and so any donation toward this effort is humbly accepted and sincerely appreciated.   
THANK YOU SO MUCH. PLEASE STAY SAFE. GOD BLESS.
