Connie and Paul have always been among our favorite people...always making jokes and making everyone feel welcomed and glad to be in their company. Both in Saudi and ever since, we have been blessed with their friendship. Connie will be remembered by so many people who claimed her as a friend, and she will be sorely missed. We are so sad but will forever have so many good memories of a lovely woman !

Dear Mr. Reihms and family,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Reihms. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. She always made everyone feel so warm and welcome. I was only 12 when I met her in Jeddah, but through Robin I was blessed to have her in my life. It's been many years now, but my memories of her are still very happy. May she Rest In Peace and sending you and the whole family love and hugs. Xoxo
