Bobby served with me on the Board of the Jewish Federation of Peoria. She was a woman of great character, intelligence, sensitivity and generosity; and she was a wonderful addition to the several communities in which she lived in her 96 years. Her family should know that she is a soul who will be sorely missed from our temporal world. May her memory be a blessing. Raymond Huff

Bobby and I lived in the same subdivision in Peoria, Hawley Hills, I would often see her walking in the neighborhood. I think she covered the whole neighborhood every day! I was awed by her energy and enjoyed talking to her when I met her. May she rest in peace.

Dear Cindy, Leon & family, I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Neuwirth's death. She was a very good person and I was happy to know her when I worked for Dr. Neuwirth and for many years after that.
She was so proud of her family & rightly so.
You have my deepest sympathy...I know it is difficult having lost my mother 3 years ago.

Cindy & family: Deepest sympathies for you and your family over the loss of Mrs. Neuwirth. My mom loved her so much and was so grateful for her willingness to teach and show her things about the world in which she traveled. I, myself, loved helping my mom clean her house and do other odds and ends for Mrs. Neuwirth. Her conversation pieces/art work throughout her house was such a delight to converse about and learn where she picked them up, etc. I never got the chance to come visit her in New Orleans and I regret loosing touch with her when mom passed away. I thoroughly enjoyed writing back and forth with her when she moved and I have always treasured her letters! We always signed them granddaughter and grandma! She was a beloved woman and one that will be greatly missed!!

To the Rittenbergs, one of the most caring, loving, and generous families I know; I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the very special three and a half years during which I was most honored to be one of Bobby's caregivers. Bobby and I shared many laughs, conversations, and cups of chocolate frozen yogurt. Bobby's words were never to be taken for granted, for even in her final year, one would not want to miss one joke or pearl of wisdom. May you all be blessed with peace, fond memories, and much comfort. I miss her sorely and will always love her dearly.
