Jennifer,
Abby was such a great student at New Hopewell. Not only was she smart and talented she also had such a sweet spirit with a ready smile. I was disappointed when I didn't get her in kindergarten after having had Todd and you. I kept an eye on her and was proud of her many accomplishments. We know she was well loved and we can't help but miss her. Your family is being held up in thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer, Donna & Aunt Jean,
Abby was beautiful and precious from the first time we got to hold her and play with her at Jimmie's. Her smile and attitude was infectious and we will cherish those moments forever. We love you all and wish we could ease the pain or carry it for you. David, Gail, Mark & Jaimie

Jennifer,
Abby was in the group of kids at New Hopewell that are very special to me, since they were my first class of 1st graders. I did not have Abby, but knew her very well as a beautiful girl with a beautiful smile, cute freckles and wonderful hugs!! She will be greatly missed at New Hopewell, but never forgotten! We will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers!

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. New Hopewell will definately miss seeing her cute freckles and never-ending smile. She will always be a part of our school family.

I went to New Hopewell when I was a kid. I remember the joy of youth and how it doesn't last. Growing up in Knoxville, most of us learned to love our community and the people around it. I never met Abby but I have a 5-year old son and a 19 month old daughter. I just found out about Abby today and regret that I didn't know beforehand. Whatever one believes in, whether it be heaven or some other form of life, being a parent and losing a child is the one thing no one should ever have to experience. No words can bring joy to such a sad time but through love and support from family and friends her legacy will live on forever. She seemed like such a sweet girl though I never met her. Being a photographer and seeing her images and knowing that she lived a fun and inspirational life makes it harder to let go. Never let go of this sweet creature and I hope that someday that hole in her mother's heart will somehow mend. Nothing I say can bring this rough entry in life to an end but I hope the words I offer will give some sense of appreciation for the time we have in this world and the true love that exists between a mother and her child. Stay strong and never forget.

Jennifer and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I know that there are no words that can take away the pain that you all are feeling now, but I hope with time it gets easier to deal. Abby was such a sweet little girl with a beautiful smile. Aryanna and Brooke spoke of her often and loved their "bus buddy." I will always remember that smile on her face as she rode her bike up and down the street. She was and always will be a very special girl to so many.

You know we love you. Sissy and Bruce

To Jennifer and family,
I'm sorry I was out of town, but I wanted you to know that my heart and prayers go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. No words seem adequate at a time like this. The fact that so many grieve so deeply speaks volumes of Abby's life with her sweet smile, kind personality and outlook on life and doing the things she loved. May your beautiful memories along with support, and prayers for and from family, friends and to God ease your pain. It was always a pleasure to see Abby's smiling face at New Hopewell. She will be missed.

Galloping like the wind through our lives,
You brush our hearts with just a whisper.
Racing the cotton candy clouds,
You glance back with infectious laughter
Sprinkling the summer's sizzle.
Eager to see forward,
To keep moving,
You call out from the distant breeze.
See you at the finish line!
Jennifer,
Our New Hopewell family will always think of Abby with her beautiful, bright smile! You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Abby...always had a smile!

Austin Morse and family
June 5, 2010
Our daughter is a rising 3rd grader at New Hopewell and happened to have spent all of this week at a horse camp in Maryville, so Abby's accident hit us "close to home." Like Abby, Brandy LOVES all animals, especially horses, and plans on working with them as a career, too. We cannot begin to imagine your pain; you are living every parent's worst nightmare. However, we know that Abby has touched many lives and will continue to do so. She was obviously a very special girl. She carries your love with her to Heaven, where she will be safe and happy, until the veil is lifted and you can hold her again. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family for a long time to come.
The family of Brandy Rose Robbins-Horne

Abby is a wonderful child who will be greatly missed. When we moved here two years ago, my daughter had a hard time adjusting until she met Abby with whom she became fast friends. Because they lived so close, they quickly made a habit of riding bikes between each other’s houses, shuttling stuffed animals back and forth and spending days without leaving each other’s side. Last summer was a perfect example of childhood summer fun with Abby and Emmie spending more time together than apart and making wonderful memories along the way. She was not only one of my daughter’s best friends; she was the best kind of friend. This summer will be empty without her captivating smile brightening our home. Our thoughts and prayers are with Abby’s family at this horrible time. The love that her family and friends felt towards her is a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those that knew Abby.
June 4, 2010
Jennifer, I am praying for you and your family. I am so sorry to hear about Abby she has grown to a beautiful little girl. I enjoyed keeping her at daycare, always pleasant.She looks very happy in her pictures you did a great job with her. May God bless you Mrs. Jackie Tinsley (Sey childcare & lrn. center)
