Jimmy & Shaun - I will always be so thankful & blessed in knowing Robin & being touched by her in my life. Although we grew distant throughout the years, I have always felt her presence (as I especially do now). It's a comfort to know that she is in heaven and will be a guardian angel & spiritual presence to all of those people she touched. Please know that John & I are here for you and our door is always open, as are our hearts to you.

Jimmy & Shaun, I really don't know where to begin to tell you how I felt when you called. I will always always remember the first time we all met going to the races and what a great time we had, and after that the sincere offer of letting us stay in your home during our next weekend vist to the next race. It's become a tradition that we have looked forward to every year. I regret that we did not make it last year not knowing it would have been our last time to be with you all together. There are not many people that path's cross that treat someone the way you and Robin treated us. Again, there are just no words I have to give that would bring things back to the way they should be and Robin there with us all. The times we had with all of you are the most treasured times of our lives. We will always remember the tailgating, and when we would all draw names for the winner of the race and most of the time Robin would win!! You know that if there is anything at all we can do or if you need to talk or just get away for a while later on, OUR DOOR is just as wide open to you all as your's was to us. We love you and miss you.

Many of us at Bank of America were privileged to have Robin as a part of our lives. What she meant to us as a teacher and friend and daily source of comfort and peace of mind is beyond words. Our hearts go out to you, and we grieve with you, during this very sad time. We'll always miss and love her.
