The the Heidt family. I was truly shocked when I got the call from my mother, Sharon Colenutt, about Robbie's passing. I have such fond memories of our visits to Grandpa and Grandma Bechal's house in Mankota. And the summers that I spent working on Uncle Ben and Aunty Irene's farm. I spent most of my out-of-the-house time with Robbie and Glenn. Robbie and I are the same age. I guess those were the good old days! It's kinda crazy to think that I'm old enough to say that. Robbie had a truly gentle and kind heart. I think he's the reason I didn't get into too much trouble! Glenn was the wilder one of us three! When Robbie moved away from Mankota, and I moved out to Alberta with my wife Karla, we kinda lost touch. Thanks to my mother I received occasional updates on Robbie, his work with the youth, his daughter, and grand daughter. I'm so sorry to say that I will not be able to attend the funeral. It is my prayer that your tender sweet memories of Robbie and your faith in God will carry you through this time of grief and sadness. May the tender mercies of our Heavenly Father give you the strength to carry on and love life as Robbie did. God Bless! Sincerely, Stan Colenutt
