To ALL the family of Robbie,
I attended Robbie's services today and it was beautiful. You all sent him off with a wonderful celebration of his life. It was so nice to see you Mr. George after all these years and you girls. Time has a way of slipping by and we just lose all contact with our friends and children's friends until something like this happens. Please know how very sorry I am for all of you and Lisa and children for the loss of Husband, Father, Brother & Son. My deepest sympathy to you all. Be sure and keep those fondest memories close and talk of them often.

Don & family,
I am so sorry to hear about Robbie. It has been years since we have been in contact but you & Sue come up in so many conversations of the "good ole days". We were just kids ourselves when we started our families. I know how difficult it is to lose a child. My Son passed away 5 years ago. Just keep those fond memories alive to help you through this most difficult time. People say that time heals but it only helps. You know that Sue was at the doors of heaven with open arms along with Eva. Try and stay strong, all of you. With deepest sympathy

My deepest condolences to the Howe family and friends. I graduated with Bob and played high school football with him. He was a great player and captain. I would always remember Bob coming to school in his work truck. A hard worker and well liked person. Rest in Peace Bob.
