My prayers are with all the loved ones as they don't say goodbye to a dear daughter and sister on this day, but instead say, "until we meet again". May God comfort, bless and watch over you. From a fellow PHS graduate.

To The Barboza Family,
I pray for your strength and wisdom at this time when your family circle has been broken. As we all know, Robin was a very strong, articulate, savvy and extremely positive individual. God has a plan for her and he loved most, so I hope that her family and many friends and associates can take comfort in knowing that she is in a much better place and take joy in all the great memories that we cherish from her life here with us. I worked at Kraft for many years with Robin and I want you to know that she Championed any opportunity that came before her with vigor and a great deal of personal pride. I loved her as a co-worker and friend and will miss her greatly. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to know her.

Dear Barboza family,

I was so saddened to receive the news about your wonderful daughter and my good friend from PHS for years, Robin. Robin was such an upbeat, funny and sweet girl that I always loved being around. We shared many classes together over the years and enjoyed our shared sense of humor any chance that we could. I have been living in NC since 1983, and I am sorry that I lost touch with Robin. I truly hope that you will all find peace and joy with your memories of Robin. Best wishes to all of you and know that God was ready to her to come home without any more pain and suffering.

Paulette and Glas we feel the pain and loss of Robin with you. We are just a call away if you all need us.
