Not sure what to say?

Think of you often and looking forward to seeing you when I get there. Miss you amazing friend.

Miss you dear friend

I would like to express my sincerest condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort give you his peace at this very difficult time. Php 4:6,7

I'm so sorry about your loss of Robbi. Something that has comforted me during times of loss is keeping in mind the beautiful invitation God extends to us personally at 1 Peter 5: 6, 7. May this comfort you as well.


Callie, Your Neighbor

A beautiful soul is now at rest, but the imprint made is this world is permanent and will not be forgotten.

Dr. Heck,
My heart breaks for you and Matthew. Robbi always had a smile on her face and was so warm and kind to everybody. I pray for comfort for you and Matthew during this difficult time.

So sad for the passing of such a wonderful woman whose time was much too short. I will remember fondly the wonderful times we had together, including Thanksgiving at Tonys when I was in charge of the turkey.... I think we finally had dinner at 10 that night after planning to eat at 5! Early mornings with the flavored coffees were always great times for conversation. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all today and in the coming days, months, years. God bless her and you all.

My deepest sympathies to your family and friends. May God bring comfort to your hearts and strengthen you during this difficult time. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) CM

Our hearts give immortality to those we love in memory. Robbi was such a positive person; she always had a smile on her face and could "diffuse" any tense situation. She made a positive impact on the lives of many and left a positive legacy. Hugs to all of you.
