To Jane, Jimmy & Brittney, I am grieving with you. I really got to know Robin when she attended my Monday nite Bible study for over a year. She really had a relationship with her Lord Jesus and she shared with me her love for the Lord. She is at peace now and someday we will see her. When we do, she will no longer be struggling with earthly issues, but it will be an awsome reunion. I know that the Holy Spirit, the Comfortor, will comfort you daily as you pick up the pieces and go on. I really loved Robin. Joanne Gayle
