Not sure what to say?

My condolences and deepest sympathy are extended to Robin's family and friends. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. I will greatly miss Robin and am kicking myself for not sticking to my plans of visiting Portland in July where I could have spent some time with her. Although I hadn't seen Robin in years (since grade school), we were able to meet for lunch last year and kept in touch through letter writing and e-mails. It was like we never had a 30 something year break in our...

I knew Robin through my sister Kelly who was one of her best friends. (They were the ones who wanted to build a raft and sail to Australia.) I will always remember her as an active and happy person. She left us way too early.

Robin:

Though I only saw you once a year, at our annual family reunion, your humor and kindness will forever be remembered. Once you thoughtfully mailed a picture of your dog Sade to my young daughter Amber after she had made friends with her at one of the reunions - it meant a lot to her, and Sade stayed on our fridge for quite some time. You will be missed.

To My Beloved Cousin Robin:

When I think back to all the years we knew one another when my parents lived in Eugene, I wish I had grown to known you so much better. Seems as though we were always a thousand miles apart; you were so quiet and happy playing with your sister Joan. I will forever remember you most for your loving and kind care for my Father, John H. Weber, who passed away in June 2000. I had not seen you since the funeral. To your parents, Lester and Betty, I grieve...

I was a member of Robin's cancer support group. She made us laugh so many times! And we could always count on Robin for the "true scoop" on medical information. She was a wealth of knowledge. I treasure my conversations with Robin. She was a source of courage, strength and wisdom for us all.

The memories and laughs are forever in my mind. From the first time I met you at the DNA convention when Bo became President to hugging "the naked cowboy" in New York last year - what wonderful moments. My JavaJo blanket is forever around my legs at work since they seem to keep the temperature at 60 degrees always. And, Kirby, thank you for all of your hard campaign work, it paid off! Hope you got the birthday present I sent 2 weeks ago.

I learned today of Robin's passing through the cancer survivor's writing group we shared for the past year and a half. I admired her spunk, her wry sense of humor, and her refusal to let anyone feel sorry for her because she never felt sorry for herself.

Robin will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember her words, from the whimsical story of Norburt, to the feisty and humorous letter to her cancer, and the quirky postcard she sent me from Italy. But most of all, I will...

Dearest Robin:

Your friendship and love will forever fill my heart with joy. When we met thru "Cousin" Bonita it was an instant bond and I knew we would be friends forever. Your insight, warmth, intelligence, compassion and sheer joy for life and all it held shall forever be an example of how one should spend their life. You touched so many lives thru your work and travels, what an amazing woman you were.

I will never be able to listen to Eva Cassidy or look at the beautiful...

I want to thank all of you that have and will remember Robin here. I've lost my sister and my best friend. This is the biggest lost I've suffered. To read the words of you that have been touched by Robin means so much to me. I find myself looking here everyday. Knowing Robin touched so many does not surprise me. Thank you and Regards, John Weber
