For many years, I've heard about Robin and how wonderful she is. The thought of this world being without her is very distressing. What a beautiful woman she was inside and out !

I have been at a loss for words, so I didn't sign this right away. Robin, thank you for the years of friendship we have had. I was so happy that you knew you could call me or email me or text me anytime you were hurting, were scared, were worried about your mom, or your dad, or your precious son. I can't even remember how many years it has been, but I saw you blossom into an absolutely beautiful human being. It was MY honor to think of you as a daughter in so many ways. We spent many a night crying together and talking about what was happening in your life. And we laughed, too. One thing clearly stands out, and that is your love of the Lord. Jesus was in your heart -- I don't doubt it for a minute, and that is what gives me solace at this time. Although we never met personally, I know one day we WILL. God must have needed you pretty bad to take you Home so soon -- whatever it was you were to accomplish in this realm, obviously you accomplished. So, job well done, sweet, sweet Robin. Watch over us all -- our hearts are missing a piece you know. I loved you like a daughter. And I miss you like a daughter. I know you are with your precious mother, and I can only begin to imagine how it was when you walked into her arms. Susie

Dear Robin you were way to young to go home. Sure wish I could have met you because you had to be the sweetest with a wonderful Dad like you have. They are going to miss you so much.
My prayers are with your family.
God Bless, Jeannie
