I still think of Robin around the holidays because of our love of our Indiana desert that both families had at Thanksgiving (Persimmon Pudding). My uncle James and her Dad played basketball in Southern Indiana against each other but her Dad always remembered my Uncle. Robin was a sweet and kind person. Every year when this memory comes up I always want to post something to let her daughter know she is thought of and remembered! Connie Hampton

Robin will always be present in my heart. I often see things and think, "Robin would like that." She was a lovely person whose life's mission was to make others feel better. My dear brother Bill was lucky to have had such a lovely wife, who gave him his space to be himself. She loved her husband and daughter fiercely. We all miss her so!

I always think of Robin. I know she is looking down laughing that I just had six pints of persimmons brought down from Indianapolis. Much love to Bill and Stephanie.

Robin will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved her. And to know her was to love her because she was one of the kindest people I ever met. Miss you, Robin, and always will. You would be proud of what Stephanie has accomplished.

I am so saddened to hear of this now. I met both Robin and Bill back in 1992 when I had first started at Bank One. They made me both feel incredibly welcome. Robin and I would always talk about our kids. What a wonderful personality she had. This is heartbreaking.. I am truly beyond words. Bill and Stephanie... My heart is hurting for you, my thoughts and prayers are certainly with you.
October 17, 2014
We miss Robin just as much now as we did a year ago. You touched our hearts in a profound way, Robin. An irreplaceable piece of our family circle is missing but not forgotten.
We love our sweet Robin always.
Lally, Frank, Nicole, Ryan, and all the doggies

God took you home a year ago today, and while some things have changed since then, much remains the same. We had a bad winter since you passed, and many believe it is because of climate change. The real reason is that the world lost you, and in so doing, we lost a ray of sunshine, a drop of rain, and the warmth you always provided. So while the seasons and the weather will change, my eternal love for you won't. I'll always be your boy, and I pray you will always be "my girl". Love, your Bill

After one year, hearts are still broken. But I know you're with us and that gives comfort.
I hope you're able to shop again, talk to your family you loved so much, and take care of lots of dogs in Heaven!
You will never be forgotten, ever. We were so lucky to have you in our lives. Keep watching after my bro and Steph. Today will be tough and touch them in some way to let them know you're here; maybe some wiener dogs or something else you loved?
We miss you, Robin.
Stephanie Sunderland
October 15, 2014
I think about you everyday! I wonder what you are doing and if you are looking down on me! I don't quite understand why you're gone and I guess I never will! My heart is broken. I know we will meet again someday. I love you more than you will ever know, Mommy! Your last words to me were "no, I love you more" as we fought with each other about who loved each other more! I know it's not shocking that we fought because we are the same person ha ha! Thank you for giving me a life that most young people can only dream of and for putting my needs first! You've taught me so much and I'm forever grateful! Please watch over Daddy and I! I love you, Mommy! Xoxo
My beautiful Robin!
August 25, 2014
Happy 30th Anniversary Darling! My marriage to you was the most joyous, comfortable, and wonderful years of my life. I could never have found a more sincere, loving, caring, and honest woman than I found in you. I am so honored to have met you and privileged that you became my wife. God surely had a hand in joining us together. Until the day that God allows us to meet again, Happy Anniversary! I love you so much, and miss you more than anyone could guess! You were the best!

Robin crossed my mind this morning. We miss her so. My kids and I have been going through family photos recently. In every photo she has that distinctive smile and her sweet, kind aura is present even in those images. Sometimes, my little girl wells up with tears as she looks at the photos. That's how you know you made an impact.
I thought of you today my dear sister-in-law, as I do often. I miss, miss, miss you. God is lucky to have this beautiful angel home again.
In that moment that you cross my mind, I know you are with me.

My Aunt Robin was so much fun to be around. She had such a bright spirit and brought a smile to everyone around her. She was warm, kind hearted and down to earth. I will treasure every moment I spent with her.

Robin was a woman who could make you laugh and feel comfortable five seconds after meeting her. She was a strong, loving, and compasionate woman who loved all of her family and friends 110%. she was always going out of her way to do sweet things for others. Stephanie was always delivering a little gift from Robin for Grace or I when she came to visit. I feel very lucky to have grown up with Robin's sweet Stephie and to have witnessed the true love she and Bill had for each other and gave to Steph. She will be greatly missed but her amazing qualities will live on through both Bill and Stephie and in all of our hearts forever Xoxoxo LB

I'm so in denial of Robins passing, although we lost touch hrs ago when we all were outsourced from bank one, I would ask people to sing to her one of our favorite songs Raw Hide. When ever Roland Caralson would call in we would get this song stuck in our heads, rollem rollem rollem keep those wagon rolling Raw Hide. She would give me looks everyday because it drove us crazy. I knew my messages made it to her and she would smile and I would hear my ears ringing. When her mother passed she kept her ashes in the bedroom and would laugh and tell her dad he had to sleep with mom. She always found a way to smile even during the sad times in her life. She will be truly missed by allot of friends. I find it sad to know the world is without Robin, but there is no doubt she is a ray of light in heaven

Robin was one of my dearest friends. We knew each other for many years and have went thru a lot together. We had marriages, divorces, kids, losses, tears, laughter and so many fond memories. She was the reason behind our annual Christmas Party. So many things will stir a memory of her like Laura Ingalls Wilder, Fire King, shopping, tomatoes, flea markets and underwear on your head. :). She was one of the sweetest people I know, and she never judged anyone. She always had a smile on her face and would brighten any room she entered. Words cannot express how much I miss her, and think of her often. I love you Robin and know you are an angel watching over all of us.
Love Robin "squared"

Robin was a good woman. She was a person of compassion and integrity, and she had a great personality. Her passing was a terrible loss to Bill, Stephanie, and everybody who knew her.

I miss Robin so much, she was such a sweet,caring, loving and funny woman. I feel so blessed that I got to know Robin more over the last couple years. She was a ray of sunshine and always so sweet and kind to me. She was such a fighter and I loved that about her. Robin you will always have a special place in my heart, and I know you are a beautiful Angel in Heaven watching over your wonderful Husband and beautiful Daughter and all your friends and family. Miss you always.

Robin was one of the strongest women I know. She never gave up through her battle over the past couple of years. One of my fondest memories of her was one of my last. I was sitting by her bed at Mt Carmel having a wonderful conversation with her and she asked if she could be one of my bridesmaids. Robin you would have been one of the best looking girls standing up there by me in May....next to your daughter of course! You were a wonderful mother, wife and friend and you truely will be missed!!

What a beautiful and precious woman! Robin was always one of my favorite Dtill Team moms but moved right into the top spot after sharing the Drill Tram Cruise experience with me! It really seems that she touched everyone in some positive way and we are all better off for having known her! Love you Stephanie!!!!

Our dear Robin would have had a birthday this past week. It was a painful reminder that is she not here to celebrate it. We all miss her so much. Her laughter, her irreverence, her kindness and compassion, her ability to comfort others in times of need, her sweetness, her loving heart…so many things that made her uniquely Robin. Since her passing, I have often thought of something that I should tell Robin, but then I pause and remember that I can't. What a void her passing has been for all who loved her. There are so many reminders of her everywhere. Laura Ingalls Wilder books, steak, coffee, hearing people saying "I love you", her love of nature, dogs, shopping, so many everyday things. But she was special. My brother was lucky to find his soulmate. My niece had a loving mother. And I always thought of her as my sister, not as an in-law. Paraphrasing the famous Longfellow poem, she left footprints in the sands of time. We love you and will never forget you, Robin. You were in a class of your own.

I first met Robin and Bill at Bank One, Dayton, aka DOC. We at DOC were a very tight knit family. When DOC was moved to Indianapolis, Bill, Robin, and a few of us went there to work. I left Bank One soon after. 20 years later, I came back to Bank One and I was so glad to see Bill and Robin again. Yes, Robin has always been the sunlight in the room, always laughing and always caring about others. I am truly blessed to have known such a wonderful person. Bill and Stephanie, I am so sorry for our loss.
Love and blessings,

Bill and Stephanie,
I'm sorry to hear of Robin's passing. I've know Robin since 1988 at Bank One. She had a tremendous personality that grew on you and lit up any room she entered. And that laugh of hers...I think I could pick it out of a crowd. She was a wonderful and caring person. I will sorely miss her, along with everyone who ever met her. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I was introduced to Robin after SSMT merged with IOC at JPMC. You could not join heritage IOC without meeting Robin. She was indeed its official greeter and champion. She made you feel so welcomed! If she had not seen you in a while, she would seek you out to say “Hello,” and check on how you were doing. Anyone who worked with Robin at Polaris couldn't help but smile when they stopped by her cube, whether she was there or not; it so reflected Robin's fun-loving and outgoing personality. I would tease her about having stock in Post-it Notes! When Kay Pope sponsored the Monthly Women's Luncheon Club off-campus, I so looked forward to it especially with Robin in attendance. Robin was the “Gigi” of the group: Gregarious, Generous, Great company, and always ensured we would have a Good time. She would keep us up-to-date on what was happening with Bill, Stephanie, and Maddie, and Genuinely asked each attendee what was going on with their lives outside of work as well. She would bring Stephanie on occasion; of whom she was so proud. I missed her when she left the IOC to go to Easton; the IOC was not the same without her. I missed her every time she could not attend our lunches; she had such amusing stories like Maddie's getting acquainted with her new family. I missed her after I left JPMC. I am so glad I got to know Robin.

I will always remember being the 3rd shift operations manager at Bank One and had to put out the morning recording. I would be in a panic when things were running late. Robin would come over, smile and say relax, I am here to help. You will be greatly missed. I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathies for your family.

To my favorite sister-in-law,
There seems to be a hole in the hearts of the many people you touched, mine included. You live on in us as a shining example of how to live your life: kind, thoughtful, warm, funny, interesting and loyal. Truth be told, we'd still rather have you here. But, I take comfort in the fact you're pain free, at peace, and are watching over us.
We love you.
To my dear brother and beautiful niece, know that we are here for you at any time of the day. Bingy, my prayers for you are strength and hope. Steph, I promised your Mom I would try to represent at your wedding and when you have babies of your own. I may not be her, but it's a promise I intend to keep.
We love you both very much and are sad for the loss of your wife and mother.

This is a very sad time. I've known Robin for many years. She made me laugh, she made me smile. We even cried together many times. She loved life. She was a fighter and now she is at peace. Thank you Robin for letting me be part of your life, you will never know how much you meant to me.

I met Robin in the coffee room at JPMorgan Chase several years ago and we were fast friends. When you heard laughing in the room you knew that Robin was in there with her infectious laugh and sense of humor. Robin was the first person to give a gift to my daughter when she was expecting her first child. An OSU giftset that she had purchased and could not wait to know someone who was expecting that she could give it to. And who could forget the Christmas presents. I will forever keep my Barbie Playing cards and smile when I think of her giving them to all of the girls in my area. I tell my Grandson when we play with them that a very warm hearted and funny lady gave them to us. Robin will be forever in so many peoples heart and I am so thankful to God that I was fortunate to meet her those years ago over coffee and girl talk. Bill and Stephanie, you were her world and of course Maddie. I will always treasure her stories and how she could light up a room. God Bless my dear friend Robin and her wonderful family and friends. The heavens are enlightened with her presence.

Bill & Stephanie, You are in our hearts and prayers. Somebody said that "Robin was the hug you didn't know you needed." Truer words were never spoken. Always kind and cheerful, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to be around. The world needs many more Robins. She will be sadly missed by all of us.
October 23, 2013
Robin had a beautiful smile and was always friendly and receptive. She is an extraordinatry person who I haven't seen in years here at the bank but I will never forget her wonderful personality!! I also admired how well her and Bill fit together as a couple, always playful and happy. I would like to experess my condolences and deepest sympathy to her family members. May God bless you all.

When I think of Robin, I see a smile & that that grin and always on the move to get something done at work. I will never forget the first time I spoke to her was when she was in Dayton. We all have to be so thankful the day she & Bill decided to come to the Columbus area. I always had great times with Robin. She is going to be missed, but her suffering has taken her to a better place where she is no pain anymore. Thinking & prayers to you, Bill & Stephanie.
