Robey, after losing my dad last April, my heart had a big hole in it. It wasn't until I remembered that he is with his mom and dad and Grandma and Grandpa Partsch, that I knew he was in a much happier place. Even though we have not been around each other as we grew up, Aunt Rita always sent new pictures of you to mom each year. I know that she and Uncle Al loved you very much--you were their pride and joy. I will keep you in my prayers and know you are always in our hearts.

Robie,
I send my sincere sympathy to you at this very sad time. I didn't know your parents, my Uncle Al & Aunt Rita, except through family stories, but they are a part of our family and will be dearly missed. Please know that you're in my prayers.

Robey,
I know how much you will miss your mother, but remember she is in a better place and no longer has the pains of this world. I am here for you should you need someone to talk to. We are more than sisters-in-law -- we are friends.
Love you, Brenda

Ma, you were so sick this time, I knew you were going home to see daddy so you could dance with him -- just like you told me a few weeks before you got so sick. Even though Alzheimer's had a hold on you, you still knew that your time here was not going to be long. I'm so sorry that you were so sick at the end -- most of your life your were sick! Because of what I went through with daddy, God gave me the strength to make the decision to disconnect the machines and IVs, and to let you go peacefully. I'm so glad Baby was with you when you passed, reading psalms to you. I knew you were going to wait until I left to get freshened up to go. I miss you and daddy terribly, but I know that you both are in heaven with Jesus, dancing for Him and the angels! What a joyful noise that must be going on up there! I know I will see you again someday. What a great day that will be! Love "Always", your daughter-Robey

To my BIG Sister, Reet!...sometimes called by us. We were always the best of friends/sibs. I have good memories of my BIG Sister that I cherish. She always had a kind word to offer me in these later years. I love her very much and will miss her. My prayers are with her and Al..."Always"...which was there favorite song years ago. My sympathies to Robey and much love to you, Robey. Uncle Freddy

Rita- back in the day, looking beautiful- out on the town dancing.

Ms. Rita, I just know you and Mr. Al are both whole again and are dancing, laughing and singing up there in heaven. Oh what joy! I shall see you both again someday- until then, you two angels keep watching over me, as you did when you were here. I love you. Amen! -Connie
