Dear Family, I send my deepest sympathies to all of you in the passing of Romayne. It was only three weeks ago that we said our final goodbye to my father, Bob O’Neill. Dad and Romayne worked together at RCA for much of the 38 years of each one’s employment there. I can remember, as a young girl, hearing Dad remind himself each Christmas that he wanted to select a Christmas gift for her that would reflect his gratitude for Romayne’s excellent work in their department. Perhaps that are talking about old times, now, as they share their new life eternal. Again, please know of my prayers for and with all of you.
Peg O’Neill
Dear Family,
It is with great sadness and joy that we send Aunt Romayne off to her new life. She was always kind and giving. She was a true lady and inspired many of us with her humility. I know she is with God and her beloved Dick. She passed with peace and dignity. She will be missed.
In deepest sympathy, the Gibbons Family
