Dear Mr. and Mrs. Robar, Charlotte and Connor, 
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of Jennifer.  
She was truly a light in everyone's day when she was around.  Her broad smile and intently listening mind were striking.  
I first met Jennifer when she and the children became dental patients  at our office when they came to Peterborough.  Her love for Connor and Charlotte was so clearly evident in every conversation.  
I will remember her always and grieve for your profound loss.  
Kathryn Moore

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar and Family,

I was very saddened to hear of Jenny's passing. She brought joy as a neighbour, she showed such love to wonderful Connor and Charlotte, and she was very kind to the other kids on the street. She brought much energy and positivity, and she will be missed by many. I remember her warmly, and I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar, Charlotte and Connor,
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Jenny's death.  My husband and I were friends with Jenny when our children were smaller.  We were part of a parent and toddller playgroup together and I paddled on a dragon boat team with her.   I will always remember her as a warm and spirited person who listened to others with her whole heart.  
She has left you much too soon, and I cannot imagine the depth of your loss.  Thank you for coming to Peterborough to remember her with us.
We send our sincere condolences to all of you,
Natalie Whiting and David Patton

For you Jennifer.
You will be deeply missed.
I will treasure the times we spent together.
My deepest condolences to your family.

To: The Robar Family
You have my deepest sympathy. I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer in a job placement when she was in University. She was a joy to work with. You can be very proud of your lovely daughter's many accomplishments.

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar and all your family.  I am in shock about Jennifer's passing.  I send my deepest deepest sympathy. There are no words that I am able to write to comfort you, losing a child is beyond description.   I am a Mom as well and over the years have enjoyed many social events with Jenn and her children.  She was always the person who when you ran into her at the market, at store or on a walk she would take the time to say hello and ask about my kids.  She never seemed rushed even though she likely was sometimes.  I even remember stopping in the middle of the road to chat.  It ended with cars honking. Charlotte and Connor are lovely children and part of such a loving large family evident in the photo gallery.  I know her energy, kindness and curious nature will be an example for us all and I will always remember her generous spirit.  Our kindest regards.  Jill, Neil, Laurence, Frances and Elise Emery

Mr. and Mrs. Robar and family:  

I wanted to let you know how sad it was to hear of Jenny's recent passing.  I can't imagine how you all are feeling at this time.  I am hoping you can find comfort knowing that Jenny was so upbeat and happy whenever I saw her.  She spoke so endearingly of her Connor and Charlotte.  She was so proud of both of them. We chatted about Connor and how talented he was in his AAA hockey.  And Charlotte - her dancing - the last I spoke with Jenny she was excited thinking about taking Charlotte to Ariane Grande.  She loved her children so much it was apparent.  I will miss her smile and loveliness.

Dear Jim, Carol and Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jenny's passing, and will always remember her for her warm smile and generous spirit. Jenny was the first neighbour I met when I moved to Peterborough, and the first to arrive on my doorstep with a gift for the new baby when my daughter was born.  I have many wonderful memories of our sidewalk chats, and watching our children grow together.  It was clear that being a mother was her greatest joy.  She shared a very special bond with Connor and Charlotte that can never be broken.  May those memories carry both the children and your family through during this difficult time.  With deepest sympathy.

Jim and Carol, 

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter, it truly breaks my heart. Please accept my sincerest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Angie,
I heard earlier today of Jennifer's passing but only now made the connection, at this late hour, that you were sisters.  I am sincerely sorry for the pain you all must be experiencing and my heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.  I'll light a candle at the Grotto in Vanier for Jennifer and for each member of your family. Praying that you all be blessed with moments of peace and harmony, knowing that you're not alone in your journey.

Dear Jim and Carol and family.  Deepest sympathy in the loss of your lovely daughter.  Thinking about you at this very sad and difficult time.  God bless!l

Sylvana and George De Bortoli (Ottawa)

To Jenny's loving family I can only offer m deepest condolences and sympathy at what must surely be the most difficult time in your lives.

I met Jenny only a couple of times, and saw her on several occasions at meetings around Peterborough. It was clear she was suffering and struggling but she smiled (her beautiful smile!) through her pain with dignity and courage. And intelligence - I'll remember as such an eloquent speaker who also compelled others with her gentle voice.

I leave you with one word (also an acronym) that I wish I had imparted explicitly to Jenny. This also applies to you and the unthinkable heartache you're enduring. H.O.P.E. = Hold On, Pain Ends. I will pray every night that you receive some modicum of relief from your pain. Much love.

Carol, Jim & Angie:  Sending you love and strength.

Mr & Mrs Robar, Angie, James, Connor & Charlotte,
I haven't seen Jenny in years, but I am a lucky person to have shared my time in Guides with her and an amazing group of, now, women. Jenny's smile could not only light up a room, it could light up a dark tent, ...long after we should have been asleep! 
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
Rhiannon

Dear Jim and carol.       We are all so saddened by the news of your daughter.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Also thinking of her children. Our condolences to everyone who were close to her and are missing her at this time.   With all our love, Ralph, Tineka, Norm, Dylan and Lyndsay

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar,
I am a friend from Jenny's early years in Peterborough.  We spent a lot of time together when our daughters were preschoolers attending music, swimming and gymnastics lessons with them.  We loved to organize and plan outings to Sandy Beach, the Peterborough Zoo, various parks in the City and countless playdates.  Jenny's vivacious and bubbly personality, ready smile and upbeat attitude will be missed.  I wanted you to know that she always spoke so highly and proudly of her family especially of the both of you.  She was also proud of her shared career with her mother.  Again, she spoke fondly and often of the family cottage where she loved to spend time every summer.  I cannot imagine the magnitude of your grief.  My condolences to everyone especially to Connor and Charlotte.

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar, James and Angie:
I was shocked and so very sad to hear the news about Jenny.
While we were not close in our adult years, I do have fond memories of our years doing Girl Guides together.  
The year of our 40th birthdays, we had a "Girl Guide reunion" with all the girls and I reconnected with Jenny at that time and at subsequent get togethers in the Ottawa area.
My heart goes out to all of you during this very difficult time.

My first friend in Peterborough...so unbelievable, this news.  Our thoughts are with you all, especially Connor and Charlotte.

Dear Jim and family
I am so very sorry for your loss and I wish you love and strength in the coming days as you face a world that will never be quite the same. Your photos speak to a family filled with great love - thanks for sharing.

Dear Mr and Mrs Robar, Angie and James,
I am so sorry to hear of Jennifer's passing.
My sincere condolences and warm thoughts to all of you during this very difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to all.  I will always remember Jenny for her sweet nature and bright smile.

Dear Carol, Jim, James and Angie,

My heart goes out to all of you in the loss of your sweet, beautiful daughter and sister. I have such good memories of Jennifer from our years as Marilyn Ave. neighbours. Her lovely smile and friendly conversation always brightened my day. Please know that my thoughts are with you and her children at this very sad time. 

Jennifer Radley (Morell)

Jenny was my second "seester". Friends since Girl Guides! We shared everything over the years! From sleepovers to our love of shopping to long nature walks to driving giant moving trucks to our headbanger phase to our preppy phase to all night chat sessions to amazing camping and road trips to awesome concerts like Lady Ga Ga and Brit Brit!!! My favourite road trip included Lottie and Connor to Darien Lake where we introduced KISS to the kids!  Their first concert Ever! We had a period that we didn't speak. We were too similar and stubborn but we eventually found our way back to each other! I will miss her sparkle and light and our conversations that got me through! We shared everything with each other! I don't have any other friends that I shared EVERYTHING with! 

I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life! 

"We were two of a kind, kindred spirits...except I was prettier!" 

I love you Jenny! 

JO

Our thoughts and prayers are with Connor and Charlotte and you all. With Love Suzanne and Casey Shaughnessy

Dear Carol and Jim
I was so sad to hear of the loss of your beautiful Jennifer - I can only imagine the pain you're feeling.
