As days turn into months then years and what will seem like many lifetimes ago to your friends, family, and all whom knew you; no matter what the future brings or what might lie ahead, they know you will walk with them along the path they tread. As it seems like an eternity that you've been gone; you will always be remembered through their silent tears. So, rest, be at peace, and let your soul fly free. Until one day, you are joined by all in your glorious flight for eternity. And then there will be no more silent tears.

Incredible, kind, generous and loving woman. Enjoyed a good deal of my life with the Robert's clan. Owe the success of my life to her. She convinced me to move to Hawaii. Went to work for her at US Bancorp, that office hummed, wonderful work environment. My children would not be here today if I hadn't made that move. She was a great story teller, many funny and exciting. We spoke a couple of weeks before her passing about our time together. I thanked her, she told me she had a wonderful life. We both cried a bit and I told her I loved her. She said "I love you too Richard". See you in Heaven Cathy
