Not sure what to say?

I grew up in Oregon City and my mother Ruby Danforth was friends with Jacky Gillette. I have been trying to locate her and talk to her about my mother. We are sorry for your loss it is a difficult time.

I am so sorry we couldn't be at the service on Saturday. We hope your happy memories help ease your pain. Robin was one of the most creative teachers I've known. She had such spunk and grit and a wonderful smile. I remember when she invited us to your house to meet the neighbors right after we moved into the neighborhood. Her loving spirit will not be forgotten.
She was helpful and kind and I can still hear her wonderful voice and laugh. All of you are in our thoughts.

My sincere condolences to the Gwinn family during this difficult time of loss. May your prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us comfort your hearts and "make you firm." (2 Thessalonians 2: 16,17)

Many condolences to the Gwinn & Gamberg family. Robin was always fun to be around and I know she will be sorely missed. Love & Blessings

The first time I met Robin I think I was 10. In all the time I knew her she was kind, brash, endearing, loud, and a singularly genuine soul. I'll never forget being welcomed into her home and family as though I had been there always. Thank you Robin for sharing your journey with me.

Rest in peace, Robin. Your legacy will live on in your family members who cared so much about you. Thank you for giving the world my best friend. You helped raise some great people and touched many lives throughout your teaching career.
