Dear Dan, the Bauers, Cindy and Fred,
When we think back, our fondest memory of Robin was at her wedding. She just glowed! She was so beautiful and Dan was so handsome. The oysters were piled high, the star gazer lilies wafted their scent over all, and the dessert carts kept coming. Then Micki made her request and "Rockin'Robin" came out on the dance floor. She was like a shining star! That day and the wonderful person Robin was will always remain in our hearts.
You are in our thoughts. Love,
2003 State Championships

Dear Dan,
You and your wife Robin were Adam's swim coaches at PHS. Robin encouraged Adam to be the strong swimmer that he was. He truly respected her. The last time I saw the both of you was at the State Championships in 2003 in South Jersey. We were all so happy that day.
May prayers and faith and knowing you're loved carry you through this difficult time, and lead you to perfect peace.
Mrs. Charlotte Timberlake

As Robin's mom I cannot even express my feelings of gratitude at this time. I thought my daughter was wonderful but never could I have imagined how many others thought so also. The outpouring of love from so many has touched my family to its core. To think that a person who only lived to 37 had such an amazing affect on so many people is so special that words fail me. I lost my daughter, I lost my best friend and those of us who knew us also know I lost my fighting buddy and shopping buddy. Rest in peace my Robin, you will never be forgotten

As her brother I knew Robin in all the ways that everyone else did and more. Not only have I lost my sister, I have lost one of my best friends. As many people have come up to me over the past few days they all recall the same thing..."Robin had the most infectious smile and laugh". This is what I will remember the most.
We are all thankful for your kind words...

Ms. Cone was my guidance counselor at J.P. Stevens and she really helped me through my college process. I am very sorry for her family's loss but I just want them to know that Ms. Cone was very helpful, kind, and sincere. Though I did not know her for long, she had a great impact on my life and I would like to thank her for that.

Robin, you will always be in my heart and prayers and I am so honored to wear the bracelet you gave me from the Merrill Lynch walk for the cure.

Our deepest condolences to the Bauer and Cone families. Memories of working with Robin and Jason at the Margate pool bring smiles to us all. To see Robin grow into a strong and happy adult was a pleasure when, due to life's wonderful twists, we realized the Robin Dan had spoke of at work was Robin the lifeguard! That she fought cancer was not a surprise being the top level athlete that she was. It was reassuring to coach swimming at PHS with Robin and Dan, two hard working and professionally proud people. The memories we have of Robin will always sparkle.

My heart goes out to Dan and the Bauer family. I was fortunate to help take care of Robin for the last 7 years at CINJ. She fought valiantly, and lived life to the fullest as long as she could.

Our deepest sympathy to the Bauer and Cone families. We have known Robin and Jason since they were lifeguards at the pool where we lived. They were so wonderful with all the kids, and mine, especially, were very attached to them. By a twist of fate, Robin came back into our lives a little over 2 yrs ago,and we are grateful for that. Her spirit, courage, strength and determination was inspiring. She will be forever missed and forever remembered by all of us.

Robin & I were classmates at JPS and for 4 years had our lockers next to each other. We shared a lot of laughs at those lockers! Robin always had a smile that was contagious & affected all who knew her. My sympathies go out to all family & friends who feel her loss. May they take comfort knowing she is finally at peace.

I was lucky to have Robin as a friend and co-worker. Words can't express the loss that I (and so many others) feel right now. There is a song by Anastacia (How come the world won"t stop) that expresses some of those feelings "How come the world won't stop spinning now that your gone" "I know every end has beginnings but this one's SO WRONG" I love you Robin!! You will always be in my heart!
