Russ and Denise,

I'm so sorry for the loss of Robyn. I did not hear of it until Tuesday night from Debbie. I know what it is to loose a child. Your memories will keep you going until you see her again. Just keep loving the ones that are here as I know you will.

Robby-girl- I miss you SO much!!! Words can't express what you mean to me!! Your courage and strength will forever be an inspiration to me!! Thank you for blessing my life! There are the horse back rides- camping trips- shopping sprees at Target- LB marathons- long talks- home videos- just hanging out- and countless other memories that I will forever cherish. I have always considered you a lil sis- and not just a niece!! I will always remember your smile and your spunk!!! When things turned worse- I wondered how I could be strong for you-- but you were always so much stronger than me. You never complained or asked "why?" I know that where you are now- you are perfect and free from pain. And I KNOW that I will see you again!!!

I love you my Robby-Girl!!!

Always and forever, Aunt J.

Robyn was such an amazing person! She was such a good example and was always happy and smiling. I can still hear her laugh. I loved her laugh! I have some good memories of babysitting at her house (sorry about the banister rapelling Lisa!!):), her at the house hanging out with my sisters and going on vacations with us. She was like a little sister to me and I'm going to miss her so much, but i'm excited for her and what she's experiencing now! My prayers are with Kyle and her family. I love you Bobyn!!

To sweet Robyn: You were here way too short of a time. My daughters list you as their most intimate and loyal friend and we are saddened that you were called home before you could all enjoy the good times that awaited you in your adult years. Your awesome courage and bright smile throughout the many months of difficulty are an inspiration to us all. We will always have you in our memories and in our hearts. Harold Payne

Bobyn Robyn! A wonderful young woman with a personality to match. You were always the first one to smile and laugh and make a person feel that they had a friend in whatever situation you were in. We will always remember your wonderful laugh and smile.

Rob, I'm going to miss you SO much! I seriously imagined our future like your mom and Carol...calling each other with drama from their teens and seeking advice from each other! :) I don't know what I'm going to do without you, you were ALWAYS smiling!! The sweetest thing you told me when I asked why you were still so happy despite your physical condition was when you said, "I'm glad it's me and not Brady, Ashlyn or Garrett." I know you were too good to be true and that's why Heavenly Father brought you back into his presence. You are an awesome example to me and I can't wait til we meet again. KRKN! "Best friends since 2nd Grade!" Love ya, Bobyn! ~xoxo~
