Dear Bud,
I have never met Robin, however, these past few days I have learned so much about her and I am just fascinated to know of the kind of person she was. It deeply saddens me to know she has left us, but her legacy will live on with all of us, as she has changed so many lives. She loved her mission and believed in those she helped. Austin will truly miss her; God must have missed her too! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

My remembrance of Robin was of her graciousness in assisting my family through the devastating loss of my cousin, Clifford Antone,another beautiful soul taken too young. Her kindness and concern for my family and especially her friend, Susan exemplified her generous spirit and enormous heart. May the peace of God be with her and her family.

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet sister,Robin. I always admired her.She was such a sweet, giving person. My sister, Erin, worked with her through HAAM. Her husband owns several music and nightclub venues in Austin. And she said she was such a beautiful person. I am thinking about you so much. Please contact me any time...I am in Dallas often and would love to see you sometime. You are still so special to me!

I don't even remember who it was that introduced me to Robin back in 1995. I had just gotten into the music business, and was in Austin for SxSW. Someone told me that I just had to meet Robin Shivers, and so arranged for us to meet at some venue - I believe that Loose Diamonds was playing... anyway, what a consumate professional she was!
Loyal to her artists, passionate about the music, and knowledgeable about the business of music. I last ran into her at SxSW about 2004 or 2005, and was interested to hear about her various endeavors.
What a go-getter!
My sincerest sympathies to all her family and friends. May you feel the hand of GOD in the days and years to come.
Kindest Regards,
Harold Collum

Bud, our heartfelt sorrow goes out to you and your family for the loss of Robin. What a great loss for all of us. She will be missed by so many, but speaking for the music community, what a gaping hole that will leave. She touched so many folks that made a living playing music and if you had Robin in "your band" you knew you were golden. Robin has left her mark in the music world among other areas she devoted her life to, and because of her, Austin is much better place to live. What a great supporter of the arts. Bud, once again our thoughts and prayers are w/ you. God bless Robin.

I was fortunate enough to work for and with Robin for the past 12 years. Having seen her in action, I truly know the definition of a 'driving force'. If there was a cause that she enjoyed, no one could ask for a better supporter. Every move she made was done with poise, thoughtfulness and character. Her impact on any community she graced was tremendous and unmistakeable.
The void left by Robin's passing can never be filled. I love and miss you Robin.

I grew up knowing the Shivers' from our Woodville connection. I remember always thinking how beautiful Robin was- She always reminded me of Jackie O. She had the sweetest personality. I have not seen her in a very long time and was sad to hear about her passing. Bud- the Steinhauser clan is with you and you are in our prayers.
October 30, 2009
An angel of grace and a child of kindness and compassion. Robin's presence in the lives of many will be felt for years and years to come. She was a rare gift to the world. May we all be better people for having the memory of her beauty.

When I heard the sad, sad news about Robin’s passing it felt to unimaginable to be true. Robin was such a fascinating and brilliant woman. A true godsend to many, Robin unselfishly dedicated her life to those less fortunate and showed courage and conviction while doing so. Robin's youthful spirit will continue to live on through those she touched. Forever young at heart, Robin was truly a beautiful rare jewel of a person. Bud, my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Bud,my thoughts of expression to you, about Robin, can not be put into words. The gentle and caring touch from both of you, as a team, has been the blessing to Austin, especially the citizens who give us the gifts of their talent and make Austin so, so special. And then there are the less fortunate among us, who Robin saw clearly everyday as your partner. Robin, always at your side, and you are the treasures, rare treasures to the people of this great city, better because Robin made it better. Robin's finger prints were everywhere and it was always okay if only she and you knew were they touched. Those finger prints will be the imprint of so many lives for generations to come. Bless Robin and my heartfelt touch to you Bud.

Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Robin Shivers, my son has worked with their family for several years and shared stories of what wonderful individuals both Mr. and Mrs. Shivers are. I thank them both for thier influence in my son's life and what they have given back to the State of Texas. My heart aches to think someone so young and so wonderful is no longer with us. My prayers go out for the Shivers family, may they continue to carry on her works to honor her memory.

Robin was one of the most unselfish human beings that I have ever known. She was tireless in her efforts to help the "Rites of Passage" program (This program develops character centered leaders of high integrity. Youth enter the program at 5 years old and exit the program at 18 years old.).

When I relocated to Austin from New Orleans in January 2007, after Katrina, Robin was one of the first people I met. She went out of her way then to make me feel welcome, brought me into the HAAM circle, and then continued to extend the kindest hand of friendship. I was constantly impressed by her energy, and her drive to give back to the community without seeking or wanting any recognition for herself.
This sad news has come far too soon, and my husband and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Shivers family, the Seton family, and the HAAM family.
Mandy Mercier
