My deepest sympathy I sent to you. May God’s loving arms wrapped around you in this hour of need.

Many years ago, I worked with Robin at Westinghouse. She was interesting, witty, so down-to-earth and I called her friend. I often wondered what happened to her, and now she is home in heaven. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
