Aunt Evalyn, Kip, Lynn, Gary, Duffy, Dale and Joel; I was so sorry to hear about Robin. I know it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of you but you have never been far from my thoughts. Robin was a wonderful part of my growing up and she will remain forever young in my mind.
Dear Family of Robin:
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew most of you forty years ago when I lived in Oxford. My heart goes out to you.
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Robin. Uncle Doug, Tracy, Jason and Dee Ann: we send you our deepest sympathy and our love.
RIP Aunt Robin, the kindest, most gentle human I’ve ever met. Loved to hear her try and tell a joke, completely botching them made it that much funnier. I will always think of her when I hear “Build me up buttercup”. I remember it like yesterday singing along with a band with her at the fair many many many years ago.

So happy to have had the pleasure of meeting Robin at Megan’s babyshower for Lilli. (thank you Tracy) Although we never got to know eachother well, I know that Robin’s love for family is a wonderful characterisic that she has passed down to her children and to their children. I will always think of her and how thankful I am to have her great granddaughter, Lilli, in my life. My heart is with all of you who will miss her dearly !

I send my greatest Sympathy to all of you, Im so sorry I couldnt make it to her services as Tracy knows Joel is ill right now and I am taking care of him, but you all and Robin were in my thoughts and my prayers.
