Robin...I found picture of you holding jess when she was a baby, i thought i would never find it...you look so young and healthy in that picture..i miss you very much..i even hear your voice in my laugh sometimes, but then i feel like crying, i do feel bad we didnt spend more time together, but your memory is kept very much alive in my house and with my girls...they say we dont know what we have until its gone, but the truth is...we knew what we had, we just never thought we would lose it...i always thought i had more time...thinking of you often...and smiling...your sister Chrissie

Robin,
Just wanted to tell you that we all love and miss you everyday. I know in my heart that you are at peace and you are watching over us. The "Robin's Nest" sign is back up at the pub, where it rightfully belongs:) Your memory lives on and I don't think you ever realized how many lives you touched in a positive way.
Love you,
Jen

Aunt Robin, Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. My heart still hurts so very much. There is so much going on in my life and it's hard to find joy in any of it without you. I listen to your voicemails on my phone just to hear your voice. I especially like the one when you are yelling at me not to come to bar because the roads were bad. I would give anything just to hug and kiss you one more time and tell you how mad I am you're not here! I know it's selfish of me but not only did I loose the only aunt I really have, but I lost a close friend and a mother figure as well. I still can not even imagine the rest of my life without you. My mom misses you more than words can say. You were a best friend and a sister to her for over 30 years. The relatonship you two had, people can only be so lucky to find in a friend. I love and miss you dearly....can't wait to be with you again one day.
My beautiful Aunt Robin

Well Robin it's just shy of 6 months that you went home to be with Jesus. You are missed so very much. As much as i wish you were here, i am certain your little body was just too tired to keep fighting when you got sick, and that would be selfish. I wish i could say that since you left us, we are all getting through the days without you together and being supportive of one another, but i cannot. I guess grief has a plan of its own. Your memory (feels weird even saying that)lives on with God and in our hearts forever. I just try to remember all the times we laughed without crying.....thinking of you often....with love and peace.

Dearest Roxanne, Jenny, Chrissy, Jocelyn and all those precious children. My heart and prayers are with all of you at this terrible and painful time. You all made such an impression on my life, and Robin was just a joy to know.
You dear girls always had the most positive attitude, including "mom", it was a spark to all who know and loved you so much.
My love and God's Blessings are sent to you from the bottom of my heart.
RIP you sweetest girl, you are so loved!

Hard to think of her as gone! I remember her so well from when we all were kids! Odd how you always think there will be time "later" to talk and see each other. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers! Love you Robin, see you again one day! My deepest condolences! She was far too young to leave us.

To Robin's Family,
I thank God every day that he gave me the
opportunity to meet Robin and become her friend. She always gave unconditional love to everyone she met whether human or canine. She found redeeming qualities in everyone and gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. Robin loved her life, her family and had a soft spot for animals that didn't have a home. My heart is broken because I will miss my friend more than you'll ever know and Verona will never be the same without her. The only comfort I will receive is knowing she finally made her journey home to be with God.
Again, my deepest sympathy.
