As a bus driver and aide for Mascoutah School District, I see Melody everyday she is at school and saw Robin when we picked Melody up for summer school. Robin was such a lovely and bubbly person. Anyone could see the special bond Robin and Melody had. I pray for Melody's quick recovery and I pray for her as she will miss her Mother.

Robin's time here on earth was cut entirely too short but her legacy and cherished memories live on through her family and friends. I remember her most as a curly-haired, beautiful cherub and youngest cousin and in my Uncle Mel's arms most of the time. She retained that innate beauty and sunshine throughout the rest of her life. My heart aches for all of her family and friends in dealing with her tragic loss but I find comfort in thinking of her in Uncle Mel's arms once again for safe keeping until we all meet again. Rest in peace eternal beautiful lady. You will be missed but never forgotten.
