We want to send our prayers out to our family. We want them to know we are very sorry about our Aunt Robbie. She will be miss a lot.
Judy, you and your family have my condolences. I am lucky to have known your mom, she was the sweetest lady. I will always remember the good times and laughs we had while meeting for lunch with her. I am thankful I was able to see her again before she passed. She seemed so tired but still gave me a soft kiss on my cheek as I was leaving. “Robbie” you will be missed by many.
Robbie meant so much over the years to the members and kids of St. Thomas-Holy Spirit. She did such wonderful activities with the Sunday School children. I just thank God for having known her and she will be missed. Blessings to her family.
Ziggy and Linda, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My thoughts are with you.
All the saints in heaven rejoiced with the arrival of a new angel at their gate. Robbie was the one who brought me into service at St. Thomas Holy Spirit. Her absolute faith brought many of us through troubled times. She was an angel on earth and will be missed by all those whom she touched. God speed dear friend.
