It was so good to be with Robin in several groups at St. Stephen's. I used to pick her up and take her home from our book group and our together times in the car were always blessings.

Dearest Robin,
So very sorry for the loss of your, Frank and Chris's Momma. She was indeed a very special lady and a trailblazer for those who followed her.
I so remember her from P.J. parties - a smart, witty and fun Mother to have around.
My very deepest condolenses for your loss,
Carolyn Levey Winks :(

Dear Robin, Chris, and Frank -- Please know how sorry we are to learn of your mother's death. We remember meeting her many years ago and liking her very much; those happy times when we were young and together are seldom far from our thoughts, and she is a part of those fine memories.

You have our deepest sympathies. If there is anything the Beckmans can do, just ask.
