I remember when I was little and my daddy (Lynn) would load us up in the truck to go see Cheif Jahnke and Miss Robbie. She gave the BIGGEST hugs! Squeeze the heck out of you! That may actually be one of my earliest memories. She was a wonderful woman and I am sad to hear she is gone. She was very good to my family and I am lucky to have known her love.

I just heard today that Robbie is gone. Oh my goodness what a lady she was, and what a couple she and Duke made. I have tears in my eyes now thinking of all the times that on the calendar are so long ago, but seem like just yesterday. When times were bad for Lynn and our family Robbie and Duke stuck with us. She was not going to let anything happen to Lynn till she was sure he had accepted Jesus. She had us out to her house July 3, 1984 so Kenneth could talk to him. She was special. I can hear her voice now saying "Duke". Miss Robbie loved her family - yall were lucky to have her - pass that love on the next generations.

John, Jan, Gary, and David I am thinking of all of you and am sorry I cannot be there. I think we can all find comfort in knowing she is with Duke once again. She is telling him what to do right now and he is ignoring her. My love to all of you.

Robbie brought humor to our class, at times, and serious debate at other times. Never a dull moment when Miss Robbie was expressing herself. We will miss her. To Robbie's family, please accept our most sincere condolences. Philip and Colette Pope
