Robin was a dear gentle friend. We were sisters of the heart. Her kindness, wisdom, compassion and common sense always prevailed through all her challenges. Robins healing touch made all those who came in contact with her better. Robin will never be forgotten. Her old school way with a heart full of love and care is something that I will always cherish. May God's love embrace you and fill up your whole being. My dear sweet Robin. All who knew Robin were enhanced by her company. The witness of the tender loving care of her husband Gil by her side and the care she gave to him is a loving example to emulate. My dear sweet Robin rest in peace. Until we meet again.
