Not sure what to say?

Robin remains much missed by all who knew her. A woman of loyalty, commitment, courage, and accomplishment, she did much for the betterment of our country and for all humanity. May she rest in peace after a life well lived in commitment to others. She set the example for the rest of us. Rear Admiral [Ret.] Jim Carey

Robin was a superbly talented truly kind and caring person who continues to be missed by those of us still mortal. She accomplished a tremendous amount of good in her lifetime, all while being a leader in much that continues to benefit our nation. She and Sam were an ideal couple as they shared their paths through life together. I remember Robin with great respect for all she did for humankind. Much is owed to her by many of us. May she rest in eternal peace.

Just learned of Robin's passing. I'm sure Sam and others will say this better than I can but I have never known anyone with comparable unselfish energy and compassion. As a co-worker and a friend, Robin filled every room with the brightness from deep in her soul. She was a very dear friend and I will miss her. My condolences to Sam and her family.

I am very saddened to hear of Robin's passing. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. She helped me through some difficult times at Manzano High School in Albuquerque. She was loved and adored by all of her students and anyone fortunate enough to have met her. Peace and love.

The love of my life has passed on to eternity. Each of us has shared the privilege of knowing one of the most loving human beings who has lived in our time. Few of us know any individual through whom more of the Love of God flowed through to us than it did to us through Robin.

Robin lived out Divine Love in almost every relationship in her life. We remember Robin now, first and foremost, for her kindness, for her profound empathy, and for her love. There was only one person like...

"From her classroom and realty office in New Mexico, Robin Read Brunelli emerged as a national leader in Washington. She has done as much as any individual in American history to empower America's elected women leaders. From the Land of Enchantment to the shores of the Potomac and in all fifty state capitols, her influence, impact and legacy will be felt for decades. We mourn her passing even as we celebrate the life of one of our nation's most gifted, gracious and determined...
