Michele Robison

It does not surprise me to see so many loving and admiring guest book entries for Michele. Michele was the cooperating teacher I worked with as a senior in college doing my student teaching at WHS. Despite my fears and insecurities about teaching, I looked forward to seeing Michele at school each day, and I became a better teacher and person for having known her. I hold a very special place in my heart for Michele, and I will always remember her saying, "Now hurry up and turn 21 already so...

I first met Michele as we became fellow AVID teachers and organizers of several AVID conferences both in Newport News and Richmond. What a beautiful woman she was, both inside and out. I remember her as funny, hard working, and dedicated. I was terribly saddened by the news of her passing. Not only did she make a difference in the lives of all the students who were lucky enough to have her as a teacher, but she also made a difference in mine.

To The Robison Family,
May it comfort you to know that God is with you and that those who cared so dearly for Michele are thinking of you, praying for you and sharing in your loss.
Sincerely,

Ben & family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. May your grief soon turn to the celebration of a life so well lived and all the wonderful memories that Mrs. Robison shared with you all.

Michele was not only my lead teacher but was also my friend. I truly got to know her when I was moved to her "house" at Woodside. When my husband was deployed to Iraq she became my "rock" at work always boosting my mood and assuring me he would be fine. We laughed about weight (especially after Oprah's show that told us to reduce the size of our bum we should not wear pants with back pockets!) We talked about everything from our school kids to our own kids and Michele was always sending...

Mrs Robison was my favorite teacher at Woodside and when I went to substitute there I went looking for her. My prayers are with your family. She talked about you all the time. She will certainly be missed. She definitely made a difference in my life. She developed my writing skills wonderfully and she gave me my first and only 8 on a writing. I always loved coming to her class in 10th and 12th grade because she was so funny and always dressed so well. I couldn't wait to see the shoes she wore...

Mrs. Robinson was a wonerful lady. although i never personally had her as a teacher i talked to her often, on the way to calss and between them. she had one the best smiles i had ever seen and i never saw her without one. woodside lost the best thing that ever happened to it. i hope all of her family can smile soon because that is one thing that i know she would want. for now she is in a better place looking over all those that she touched with those great lessons of life and knowledge she...

Ben, Eric and Family;
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. My heart broke when I heard about Michele's illness...and later her death. We taught together at Denbigh High when both our sons were "little" fellows and we shared much during that time. Her sparkling personality, her delightful sense of humor and her loving spirit will remain with us always. May God Bless all of you!

Mrs. Robison was BY FAR the best and most memorable teacher I have had! She was tough but she had such a great spirit, and it definitely showed. She will truly be missed.
