To Mr & Mrs Spalter & Amy, my deepest condolences, You all probably don't remember me, but Robbie was my closest friend in law school, we studied for the bar together, then after I moved to Dallas she came up almost every weekend. Then life happened and we gradually didn't see each other as much, but we remained close as ever. I can't believe she is gone! You must have been so proud...she was so wonderful. RIP dear friend, I will never forget you!

My heart is breaking as I just received the news. Robyn was one of my best friends in law school. We still kept up when she went to New Orleans. She was such a bright light. Even though we didn't see each other much since she moved to Florida, I still think of her often. SHe will be missed

Dear Amy,
I was so shocked to hear the news about Robyn. Until last year, I had not seen her since our days of USY at Temple Zion. We had a chance to re-acquaint professionally. She was so excited to tell me all about your kids and the very special relationship she maintained with them. It really sounded like your kids were a great joy to her. I am sure this sudden lost is devasating to you and your family, but am glad your kids will have had the chance to develop a real bond with their very kind aunt.
I send you my best at this very difficult time.

I did not know Robyn, but, as a fellow lawyer, have heard so many great things about her. There is never anything that can be said to ease the pain of the loss of someone as young and vibrant as Robyn. However, some solace is gained from knowng that she died doing something she loved.

Arnie, Charlene and family Robyn was one special lady. There were two very amazing things about her that I will always treasure. As a female professional we had great conversation. Robyn gave me ideas, suggestions and solutions that were creative and sometime just down right funny. The second is our dog Chloe, we contribute a large part of her getting back on her feet all 3 times to the love, snuggles and persistence from Robyn. Robyn would tell us "she will walk again, I guarantee it". Robyn here is to cheese therapy. Bless you, we will miss you.

Although we had not seen Robyn in many years, we have very fond memories of Hebrew School and USY at Temple Zion. Robyn did indeed have a great laugh and made everyone around her laugh with her. We are deeply saddened to hear this news and pray that her wonderful life will be a comfort to all of you. Roz and Elias Rimland

Although I've known Robyn and her family for many, many years, it was after my twin boys were born in August of 2010 that Rob and I became close. She loved my kids as her own and was the only one we left them with. I am so sad to lose my friend, but mostly I am sad for her parents and sister and niece and nephew. To Arnie, Charlene, Amy, Jay, Spenser, and Skylar....we are so so sorry that your sweet Robyn is gone too soon. She was incredible and will be forever missed.

Robyn was a dear friend from high school and we had just reconnected when she sent me a request to play "words with friends" online. I was waiting for her latest reply and can't believe the sad news. I will miss her and will always be sorry we were out of touch for so long. To lose her at such a young age is so terribly sad.

I love you so much Robyn. You were so sweet, funny, lovable, and everything else. I did not see you much when you left Louisiana, but I am so grateful that I got to see you for your last birthday and my graduation. This was so unexpected, but I still love you and always will. You're the best "big sister" I could ever have.
