Dear: Linda, Russ (Marie) & family, Fred, special friend Lisa, Extended Family & all of Robb’s Circle of Friends . . .
The right words are hard to find to describe our sadness hearing the unexpected passing of Robb – a young life taken way to soon. We remember so many fun times with Robb being a close friend & teammate for our “Parsons Family” slo-pitch team, “Balls-R-Us” years ago, when Crediton would host their annual “Summerfest.” Over the years, occasionally we’d bump into Robb in Exeter & enjoy catching up & having great chit-chats. Robb’s memory will forever live on, in the stories, pictures, laughter, & love that you all shared as family & friends. May they heal your hearts & brings smiles through your tears.
❤️ “Don’t cry because I’m gone; Smile brightly because I lived.” ❤️
We offer our heartfelt condolences during this immensely sad time – praying for peace that surpasses all understanding. Please find strength & comfort in the warm embrace of family & friends as you mourn, grieve & celebrate Robb’s incredible life. RIP Robb, you were a genuine great guy, who will be deeply missed. ❤️
Sincerely, Clare & Brenda (Parsons) Martene
