It is good to re-read what others had written many years ago. Recalling the smile, the spirit, the friendliness and the personality, of one who once shared such wonderful traits with us, now tells us that she is still with us in our thoughts and memories. Her family has grown, and I wonder how they are doing as life goes on. I pray for them as they carry the memory of Robyn with eyes undimmed by tears but rather happy retrospection.

Thank you for the reminder. As I read what others wrote many years ago, I was reminded of so many who thought so highly of Robyn and how impressionable she was. Though we tend to forget those have gone before us, we know that there was something about them that remains......such as her happy smile, her outgoing personality, her friendliness, her overall charm. Yes, those traits are still remembered and never to be forgotten.
My prayers for the family, Greg and Sharlene, another former student, and the others. The memory is awakened by this legacy, God bless them.

The Barney family is etched into my memory as I knew their uncle, Ron and the pleasure of knowing Robyn and her sister Sharlene at Marian High as I was a teacher then. Some people and that includes students, are well to be remembered. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

It is good to be reminded of those who once sat in my class at Marian and now have gone to their eternal reward. I am reminded about what I taught in religion class: death is not an end, but a beginning. She continues to share in her eternal reward. God bless her family.

Hundreds if not thousands of students go through my classroom, and Robyn was one.
It is good to remember her with this memorial so that she is never forgotten. A wonderful student, and a good person.

Amazing how time goes by and then out of nowhere we are reminded of days long past.
Robyn and her sister were students of mine at Marian. Today I remember both the living and those who have gone before us with a smile on my face and gratitude for having known them.
I know Robyn rests with the Lord and I ask him for blessings upon the surviving members of the family. Mr. A.

I just happened to stumble upon this. Robyn was always very kind to me since I did not know anyone when I relocated to the Framingham area. She was my one female friend in my class. One day in the cafeteria she had me outline her fingers in pen on the cover of my Adventures in American Literature book so that I would always remember her. I always kept that book and I have the book right here in my hand now. Thank you Robyn.

I met Robyn when we were 5 out in front of my house on a pleasant summer day. I thought she was a very pretty girl. That first day we met, we found out that her birthday was the day after mine. That always stuck with me. We were in school together all the way through high school. I had no idea that she had passed away and I'm very sorry to hear of it. Happy Birthday Robyn. You will be remembered always.

I just read in Marian Clarion of her passing. She was a classmate and a really really wonderful person. What a laugh she had. In Mr. Sullivan's law class she was so funny. I am sorry. GOD BLESS.Brian Perry '77

I am so sorry to hear of Robyn's passing. My condolences to her family. I knew Robyn while at St. Bridget's and Marian High School and, although I have not seen her since those days, I will never forget her kindness and her ability to instantly light-up a room with her smiles and energy. Rest in peace Robyn. Madeline

To Robyns family, Please know we share in your grieving of such a generous, loving,compassionate woman. We met years ago, and reconnected just a few short years ago. She never changed after all that time. Gregory, you were blessed for having such a wonderful mother. Rest well my dear friend.

I was so sorry to hear of Robyn's passing. I only just heard of her passing late Monday.
Robyn was the nicest person I have had the privilege to know and consider a friend. Although I didn't have the opportunity to see her often, I am thankful for the time I got to spend with her.
I just found this obituary/condolence site and I want to send my condolences to Gary, her family and friends. She will be sorely missed!

It is with deep regret that I read about Robyn's passing. I had the privilege of knowing her as my student at Marian. She had a great smile and beautiful personality. I am certain she maintained those wonderful attributes throughout her life. My prayers go for her family and those who knew her along the way of life, and were touched by her kindness.

Gary -
You and Robyn, what a team! Not many couples can be with one another, 24/7, but you guys made it look easy. She was the calm that allowed you to be Lav. We will all miss her very much, but very few of us can only imagine how much she will be missed by you, every minute of the day. Our condolences to the Lavin and Barney families, for such a great loss.

My friend Robyn. We shared many laughs & many tears. I am heartbroken for me yet relieved for her. Her body was struggling & now her spirit is free. I know she will be watching over her precious family. She had such delight in her son Greg & was over the moon with the antics of grandson Brian. Thank you Greg for sending her videos...they were her joy! My deepest condolences to her entire family...she loved each of you deeply. She will be remembered for her endurance & will be greatly missed by many.
