I loved Robin and Scott. They were great companions from day one. I'm so sad that Robin went thru so many painful experiences, including cancer. She was a trooper for sure and accomplished a lot of good things with her parents help. Barbra and Dick -- please know that I'm thinking of you and your family. You are dear to me -- I will always love all of you. I loved little Robin. She was my friend. Although I was planning on attending the service in her honor today, I have a nasty cold and do not wish to spread it. My prayers and love are with you. I know Robin is in a happy and glorious place and has paid the price asked of her.

My love,

Joan Christiansen Vail
