I had the great pleasure of getting to know Jorge and Robin during his treatment at the Solinsky Center.
Jorge will always hold a special place in my heart. He emulated kindness, compassion and had a great sense of humor. He was so incredibly stoic and I am humbled to have known him. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Robin and the rest of the family.

Dear Robin and Family,
Our hearts are heavy with sympathy for you.
Remember, all the times at Dolly Copp campground, in Gorham , NH.
We loved when Midnight was a puppy and you two were walking him up the road, and how patient Jorge was with him. All the talks we had together. What great memories!
Please continue to keep in touch.
Of course I’ll continue to pray for comfort and healing.
