My deepest sympathy to all Robin's family during this difficult time. I knew Robin in high school and worked with her on many class events in her role as Senior Class VP. There are many expressions of sympathy on our class Facebook page and it is clear that she was well liked and will be missed. --Lafayette Class of 1980.

I did not know Robin but I feel as though I did. I worked with her mother Diane for many years and she spoke so fondly of Robin over the years as she did about all of her children. Rest in peace Robin.
