Robin & Bobbie,
I knew your Mom (and Dad) when we lived in Karlsruhe, Germany. We have not kept in touch over the years, but I have never forgotten her -- a wonderful person with a gentle and sweet soul.

My deepest sympathy to you both.

Robin and Robert,
I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. I knew her for over 10 years and she was always a very loving and wonderful lady. She spoke very highly of you both and loved you dearly. She will definitely be missed to all who knew and loved her here at DeCA. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you at this very difficult time.

Robin and Robert,

I extend my deepest sympathy to you both. Please accept my condolences in the demise of your mother. I was shocked to hear of her death, even though we did not see each other often as we worked in different buildings, but when we did we greeted one another with a hug. I know of you through her, we always shared and reminisce of our commuting days back and forth to Virginia Tech, as my brother (76) and my nephew (96) are graduates, matter of fact he remembers Robert. Your mother was proud and spoke highly of you both. Be the best at keeping her memory alive through song, dance, photos, and especially her favorite foods and desserts.

With love and prayers,

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. I worked with Julia for over 10 years in Accounting at DeCA & was so sorry to hear of her passing. She was always easy to work with & just such a nice person to know.

Robin @ Bobbie,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I knew your mother when she lived in Augusta Georgia and she was a lovely person. You know she loved you very much but she is now with the Lord. So we know she is in the best hands possible. I am in Uganda (Africa) and will not be back in time. You will be in my prayers and just keep your hands in Gods hands.

Julia was a good friend and co-worker. I knew her for 12 years. She was friendly and funny. We had many good laughs together. She loved her children dearly and spoke well of them often. She will be greatly missed by all at the DECA RAD. Love and prayers go out to the family. God Bless them all. The Lord is with you at all time.
