Robin had it all---looks, talent, and intelligence. Wait, but there was more: she had a tremendous sense of humor and was very, very kind. She took great joy in her home life, and was always bursting with pride in Vincent and the children.
Like Sarah Eames, whose comments I have read here on Legacy, I worked with Robin at Heironimus. We all did have fun! I have cherished the lessons I learned with the dynamic ladies in the Advertising Department there at Heronimus all my life.
Mark and Jenny, and grandchildren, I offer you my deepest sympathy.

There could never have been a better friend than Robin. She was a beautiful woman both inside and out. Meeting her at Heironimus and working with her there is a memory I will always cherish.
Robin was the "sister" I had always wanted. Because she was a Christian and so wise and kind, I relied on her for advice on many occasions. We also had so many laughs as we enjoyed our social life together and with our other Heironimus Advertising friends. We liked going to movies, lunch, the beach, etc. We would always ask Robin where she would like to eat even though we knew she would always choose Panera for lunch! Among my memories is the time we entered the Downtown Roanoke Halloween contest. I dressed her up as a Barbie doll with long blonde wig and high quality Mattel Barbie costume used to promote the doll in stores. We won 1st place! We never grew up!
We loved getting together with our friend Jenny Litos to paint faces on handmade teddy bears. These were Church projects for Operation Christmas Child. She continued painting them as long as possible.
I am thankful that she is no doubt singing praises to God as she awaits us in Heaven. I love you Robin.
