Deepest sympathies to my Saltville family. I'm sorry I didn't get up to see you all more often and it's times like these when it really hurts. Please know that I'm always thinking of you and love you all very much. Sybil was a wondeful Aunt and I have so many happy memories of spending time with her and the family at the farm. My prayers are with you all. Love, Robyn
