My thoughts and prayers are with the McCaston-Christo family. I pray that your wonderful moments and memories of Robin will carry you through the pain of losing her.

Jamie and Jackie, I know that you have lost your best friend and my thoughts are with the both of you; you have lost your Mom. I think of Robin's Mom as well because she has lost her child. I am hoping that you will come to realize that you lost her in body only; her spirit will always be with you. This I know.

Robin taught us how to live while she was here and now her passing reminds us how precious and fleeting life can be. Robin will be remembered fondly by all she met in this lifetime. I am one of those people!

Dear Jamie and Jaclyn,
Jim and I are thinking of you during this difficult time. We are remembering your mother and how much she adored you both. You should be reminded of the very special place you held in your mothers heart. She was so very proud of you both. There will be days to follow, when there will be no words to express your sorrow. You may feel lost and uncertain, I hope that those will be the times when you will look to each other for strength, for love, and for support. I believe, if you stop and listen, you will feel your mother’s strength and her love. She will be there and she will help you get through.
Much love and friendship treasured. Karen and Jim Berry

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
