Miss Margaret stole my heart the first day I met her. I only wish that I could have known her earlier in her life, and not as her journey was coming to an end. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Brenda Miller (Friend) on: Oct 19, 2013

I remember the first time I had met Mr and Mrs Robbie. they welcomed my in their home with open arms. you knew you were in a loving home, but when we would have conversations sandy would always have to repeat what he said for they had such a strong Scottish accent. as years went on I learned to understand them better. Mrs Robbie always looked her best every time I saw her and she always had a smile on her face. I got to speak with her in july on the phone. she was not well but she never let you know it. she was happy that i called and i was happy I got to talk with her too, rest in peace Mrs Robbie you will be sadly missed. lorrie and Dale Benson - Posted by: lorrie benson (friend of family) on: Oct 19, 2013

My deepest condolences to the Robbie family. All of us Keeleys (there were 8 of us) hung around with and were friends with at least one of the Robbies as we lived only a block apart. I remember when Mr. Robbie was fixing up the ceiling over Sandra's room and I had a sleepover there with plastic still on the ceiling. I always loved Mrs. Robbie's accent. Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Debbie (Keeley) Schmidt (Past Neighbour) on: Oct 19, 2013
