Here is expressing our deepest, most heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your mother and our precious Aunt Edith. She was like a mother to me. May you be comforted knowing that we share your loss. It is our loss as well. We will miss her little chuckle and her big, bright smile. She was a loving and kind aunt to all of us. A beautiful soul has departed us to get her angel wings and be at peace in Heaven with Jesus. Love, your niece, Brenda & Dexter Amos and family.

Miss Edith was the epitome of all that is good in the world. She loved hard and always welcomed us with a warm hug and a smile. She treated us as family and had the best stories. I will always remember the memories she shared about the house she grew up in and the doctor coming to visit via horse drawn wagon. She was so fond of her daddy and her giggle was contagious. Miss Edith enjoyed listening to the happenings with my pets and looked forward to the return of the hummingbirds each spring. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. She was a gift to all. To her family, thank you for sharing her with us and we send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you <3

There will be things that trigger tears and things that bring laughter, but they will gently remind you of all the wonderful details that made life with your Mom so precious. May God wrap his loving arms of comfort and love around you and the family. I am so grateful to have met Mrs. Robey. My husband and I enjoyed the talks, laughter, and memories she shared of her life and family. We will miss her dearly. Sending heartfelt sympathy and love.
