Not sure what to say?

Dear Robyne, I was saddened to hear of David's passing. My thoughts are of happier times, of planning and building your wonderful home in Idyllwild. What joy it brought David. I am left with wonderful notes of his daily reminders of what he thought I should be able to accomplish that day.........even if it were snowing. Much love, Jerry

Dear Robyne,
I'm sure you know how much David meant to those of us who worked with him at Continental. His leadership, commitment, and sense of humor got us all through a tough but exciting period.

Stay well,
Bob and Doris McKnew

My dear Robyne,
I was so sad when Jerry told me of David's death.
I know how much you adored each other...a very special relationship. My thoughts are with you.
I will always remember the weekend in Key Biscayne. You and David bobbing in the sea outside the Sonesta and later on our balcony, David with a bucket of ice and a bottle of his favourite whisky at his elbow.
Frank also sends his condolences.
Much love,

Dear Robyn
I was very sorry to hear the news about David. We spent many times together at various functions and committee meetings over the years. I think the last time we were together was in London some years ago. Please accept my condolences and best wishes to you.

Dear Robyne .... Both Jimmy and I and of course, Schnapps, would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family and of course Jezzabel on the passing of David.

He was such a special person and adored you so much. The life's journey you both took was incredible and will be a comfort to you during this difficult time.

Now he is free of all his trials and pain and on another incredible journey. May God bless you all.

With love and hugs, Brigitte and Jimmy and...

I enjoyed David both as a friend and a banking colleague. We had lost touch in recent years and I was saddened to learn of his death. Andy and Jane Paine

Dear Robyne,
Katharyn and I are so sorry to hear the sad news about David and our hearts go out to you and his family. David was a very special friend. I can recall so many moments when he left me in stitches with his wry wit or amazed me with his unique ability to always say the right thing at the right time, even during tense moments in business meetings or social gatherings. I always had a great fondness for David, he was truly one of a kind.
