Sharp Funeral Homes offers a Grief Support Group on the first Wednesday of every month from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Fenton location at 1000 Silver Lake Rd. “People who go become friends,” said Mike Scully of Sharp Funeral Homes. “They can get together and share experiences.

Monday, January 23, 2017She even started a GoFundMe account to help his family pay for funeral expenses, which had raised almost $15,000 as of Thursday evening.“Our social circles were opposite and never once in 12 years did I make any effort or attempt to get to know him. When I found out about the accident and his passing, I was shocked, but also felt guilty,” she said. “This is a kid who had dreams – just like I did – had passions, ambitions, likes and dislikes. The more I thought about it, Robert and I were probably more similar than different.”She attended the wake and was planning to go to the Flemings’ graveside service on Friday, despite not knowing them.“Robert was pretty quiet in class, but every once in a while he would let out a funny quip and have the whole class roaring,” Clark said. “He was like an uncover class clown. He and his friends were known to light up a room, and while individually Robert was pretty quiet, with his friends he transformed. I only wish I got to know him better.”There was a prayer service held at the conclusion of the wake Thursday night. The Flemings will be buried during a graveside ceremony at 11 a.m., Friday, at the Furance Village Cemetery, at 90 South St., near the family’s home.DesRosiers, who was known as “KK,” was a junior at Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston. She and Robert Fleming began dating about three months ago and were being driven to a friend’s house in Easton on Friday when the crash occurred. Her visitation hours will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Friday, at the Ashley Funeral Home, 35 Oak St., Middleboro, but her burial will be private.Tammelleo said school has been different since the crash, with a more solemn feeling. But he doesn’t think Robert Fleming would have even wanted a formal wake.“I’ve been thinking a lot about whether Flemm would have wanted this or even an assembly at school. He was the class clown. We would always yell at each other across the room and make jokes, so we the teacher would move us,” he said. “He was stubborn. If there was something he wanted to do, he would do it – no matter the time, place or circumstances.”Gove had students sign the top of Robert Fleming’s desk and plans to hang it in her classroom as a lifelong memory.“He just had so much potential. He could have done anything if he put his mind to it. But it was all about what he decided. He was very much carpe diem – he would live each day exactly how he wanted to live it,” she said. “It’s going to be a sadder place without him there. It’s going to be really hard.”...

But during the hours after his death, she found herself in awe of the scope of his connections. "I knew he was always a popular guy but I never realized how many people's lives he touched," she said. "It's incredible. He was everything a parent would hope their child would turn out to be and more."A family friend of the Herberts created a GoFundMe page Tuesday to help raise money to assist in covering funeral costs.
