Suddenly on Thursday, June 14, Robin Michelle McKeithan went home to be with Lord. Friends may visit with the family on Monday, June 25, 2012 from 10am until time of service 11am at Miracle Center of Faith Missionary Baprtist Chruch, 9161 Hampton Overlook. Capitol Heights, MD 20743 Interment: Private.

Robin was born on January 26th, 1963 to the late Carol Ann Jackson and late Rudolph McKeithan in Washington, DC. At the age of four she was relocated to Winston Salem, North Carolina to live with her father’s sister Dorothy Hunt, better known as Aunt Dot. Aunt Dot raised Robin as if she was her own daughter. By the age of ten, Robin returned to Washington, DC to live with her mother.

Robin attended DC Public Schools and later worked at George Washington University. Thereafter, she found comfort in becoming a homemaker until her time of departure. One of Robin’s favorite hobbies was playing with dolls, which stuck with her from childhood. Her passion for collecting and playing with dolls was a special hobby shared with her late mother Carol.

There was nothing Robin loved more than spending time with her family especially her late son Raheem McKeithan. They would do everything from going to the movies, parks, the zoo and also taking trips to Atlantic City every summer. Not only were the two Mother and Son, they were great companions and best friends. She really shared a strong bond with all four of her children and would move hell and high water to protect and serve them.

Robin is survived by her Children, Eric Bernard, Ayesha Michelle and Alicia Aja McKeithan; her beloved brother William Bernard McKeithan. Her six grandchildren, Alayzia, Jadah, Qudir, Frank, Jayden and Malik McKeithan; her grandmother Marguerite Smallwood and cousin/mother figure, Viola Gray; her uncle, Horace McKeithan; her cousins, Derrick Hardy, Denise and Lee McKeithan; her best friend Janet (Shawn) Durham, her special friends; Quinzella Chambers, Stephanie Wicker, Ronald Wilson and Tanika Easter ; a loyal companion Jasper (Tee) Pitt and a host of other family and friends; all who has shared many moments with her through her life.

THE DAY HAS COME WHEN ALL THE PAIN ENDS, AND THAT IS WHY THIS MESSAGE I SEND. NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS THE PROUDNESS THAT I FEEL, TO HAVE A SISTER SO COURAGOUS AND REAL. THE PAIN YOU HAD YOU TRIED SO HARD TO HIDE, BUT WE ALL KNEW WHAT YOU FELT INSIDE. NOW IT IS OVER AS WE DEPART FOR A WHILE, TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE BRIGHTEN UP HEAVEN WITH A SMILE. YOUR FAMILY WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND NEVER FORGET THE JOURNEY AS WE REJOICE IN CELEBRATION OF YOUR REMARKABLE LIFE.

Not sure what to say?

My mom and me!!!

Missing you Mommy!!!! Sometimes I think I'm going crazy because I'm always mad and being mean to people. I probably need to go see a psychiatrist.. There's not a day that goes pass that I don't think of you and Raheem. It's a lot to deal with when you experience two deaths in your family within months apart from each other. I know God needed you and Raheem to be an Angel.. I love and miss you to pieces...

Me and my mommy..... :(

Hey ma... I leave to go to Miami Thursday.. I wish you were here so you could see my outfits.. I know you would like them. I miss you so much it's not the same with you not being here. Please come to me and let me know you are ok.. I want to dream about you, but I can't sleep. I hear you laugh, but your not there.. At times I think I'm going crazy.. I love you!!! and one day we will meet again.....

they say time heals everything but I not feeling time right now. I am feeling sadness for all my family. I know you are in heaven with a sigh of relief but I can't help but miss you so much. Luv you with all my heart, your brother

I was just thinking about you and I decided to write a few lines or two.. I am still in shock that you or Raheem are not here anymore. I can hear your laugh when I'm thinking about you.. I listen to your voice on my answering machine and it brings me joy. If you could come back to me I would be so happy to give you one last hug and tell you I LOVE YOU!!!! and tell one last joke so I can hear that beautiful laugh again. I love you mommy.. Ayesha

It's hard but i know we going to make it. I wish so bad that U had more time here, I wish so much that we could talk, laugh intil U say Eric im about 2 go 2 sleep & i keep asking U about people U havent seen in awhile & every time U about 2 hang up i ask about somebody else, U finally get hip to what im doing (trying to keep u on the phone) & U Hang-Up on Me! LOL That use to be so funny to me...I got a tattoo of a Robin bird on chest in Memory i think u would like it & i have a Gold keepsake...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dear Mommy, I don't know what I'm going to do without you.. I miss talking to you on the phone at least fives times a day. At times I just sit and think of all the fun times we shared together: We laughed, cried, danced, and sang songs together. I miss your loud talking and laughs.. I miss you smacking your food when you ate, I use to get mad and tell you to close your mouth and you would tell me to get the hell out of your room then.. I would give anything to hear you smack your food...

To: The MCKeithan Family,
May God continue to bless your family during this time of bereavement.
