Robin,
You were such a caring and kind soul. Working alongside you and seeing how deeply you cared and went out of your way for others, brought back my passion in doing what I do. You always went above and beyond, a true angel on Earth. I'm devastated. RIP Robin.

Jim kids siblings and friends, My heart goes out to all of you. Robin was beautiful in and out like people have already said. I've only known her for three years, she and I both agreed that our meeting, becoming prayer partners and a dear friend was something God set up not us. We would pray at night some nights we'd skip if she fell asleep or either one of us had an obligation. For the last two years in December we prayed every night. Sometimes we would be on the phone till 2 in the morning or even later. She would tell me stories about her experiences while growing up. Her story: not always a pleasant story but she had a way with her sense of humor to describe awful situations and make me laugh so hard I would actually wet me pants. I laughed mostly because I could identify with her story. We grow where we are planted and she made a beautiful garden. By giving her children the best gifts a mother could give her child a sibling and by walking with the Lord day and night and now what did I learn from Robin I learned to push myself and not be so self centered to give of myself in a way I didn't want to. But mostly to read the word and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. She would say if you don't understand put it on the shelf and when it's time you will understand. I love you Robin! Thank you Jesus for the time I had with Robin

Robin, I love you sooo much, and I am so hurt to know you are gone. We met in law school, and then lost touch. We saw each other again in 2008, and lost touch again. We met again in 2011 at Cambridge College and together we walked down the isle to receive our master degree in counseling June 2013. Talking about our plans for counseling and talking about God was our common interest. Dear friend, how I will miss you. Love you forever. XO Venita Qualls

Robin, words are not adequate to describe what a life force you had. Your big heart, your hilarious sense of humor (and that laugh that was so contagious!), your compassion for others, tireless work ethic, a talent musically, and a fierce love for your family- no wonder you touched the lives of so many people. I hadn't seen you in years but I will never forget all of the fun we had together, how much I love your children, how much we shared in music and how much I learned from you. Our world is a little dimmer and I know there's a new bright shiny star up in the heavens tonight. Thank you for your love and friendship and God bless you. Give Davy a big hug for me!

My heart goes out to Robin's family. I knew Robin when she was just a young girl. We lost touch over the years, but knowing what I was going through, she took the time to come and see me after my son died to see if there was anything she could do for me. God bless you Robin.
