Roberta Finley

My mother Virginia and Robbie's mother Norma were close friends from childhood. We their kids knew each other from very early on, and into young adulthood, when some inevitable drift set in. News of her death leaves me heartbroken-- one of those old bonds you feel you will pick up again some day. Marilyn (Lindy) you have my deepest sympathy on the far-too-early loss of your sister. Love, Chip

Roberta gave me my start in writing. She took a chance on me. She was an exceptional editor. Absolutely the best one in my entire career. She had a nice affection for all those that worked for her. She was immensely talented. Not always noticed because she made it look easy. I went on to some worldwide fame. She should be credited with launching many careers. Thoughts and prayers to her family. She was that good.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I worked with Robbie at Travelers. She was incredibly sweet, and thoughtful and I enjoyed my time with her. I remember sHe gave me a small plaque for my desk that I still have that summed up an inside joke that we had. I'll cherish that gift.

My deepest sympathies to Robbie's family

Dear Family - I've been so saddened with the news of Robbie's passing. She was a dear friend with whom I worked at Travelers and Citi. In our more leisurely years, we spent time together at Hilton Head and lunches in Westport during the holidays. She was so very talented and kind hearted...always so much pleasure to be with. I'm thankful for the time we've had together on this earth. God bless all of you as you morn your loss.
Sincerely, Anna Pestritto

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Judi
