Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong:
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just this moment found out about Robb through Mark Tindall on Facebook. I am stunned. I wish I was able to get up there. He was one of my best friends at TFC and it was great working with him on Blue Route Vineyard in Philadelphia. I loved him very much and look forward to seeing him at Christ’s return. All my love.

We are very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose your Father and Husband at such a young age and when the children our so young and also as parents to lose your only child. I know this would be devestating for all and hope that you are comforted to know that this young man is no longer in any pain or suffering. With technology today I hope that you have plenty of videos and film that can be used to create a legacy of Robs life for his children and yourselves so that he can live on and be remembered for the wonderful person that he was and your pain and sorrow will lessen knowing that you still have him with your through this technology. God bless and provide comfort during this difficult time. Love the Dennis Hash family.

Dear Robert and Ethel, I fondly remember you both and I am so sorry for your loss, I had no idea Robb was ill, it has been a few years since we were in touch. We lost a child ourselves and there is no pain like that of a parent. We will be praying for all of you as you walk the path God is leading you from Mourning to Joy!I have always loved you both!
Danna, I never met you, but you have to be a pretty amazing person! You have our prayers!

Dear Danna,
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, Joel, and Gwennan, as well as Robb’s parents and all the extended family. Connie kept us updated throughout Robb’s illness. It was almost as if we had been on this long, difficult journey with you and Robb. Although we didn’t really know Robb, we felt as if we did, since we heard so many nice things about him. I remember meeting him at your wedding and thinking what a special couple you were. We know he will always live in your heart and will be sadly missed by all who loved him. We wanted to come to the funeral, but am sorry to say it isn’t going to be possible. Please know that we’ll be there in thought.
Love and sympathy,
Shirley & George Polen

Dear Danna, your children and Rob’s parents,
We can’t even imagine your pain and loss, but we are praying you will find a way to ease your grief and discover a sense of acceptance that will allow you all to move forward. Family and friends will be there to help fill the emptiness left by Rob’s passing and be your support in the days ahead. You were blessed by the years you had Rob in your lives and his memory will be with you always. Lean on God’s mercy to get you through this time.
Thinking of you and praying for you,
With love, Glenda and Larry
