Thank you Robyn for always being a great cousin and treating me so good . I will miss you and your great personality! We didn't have a whole lot of time to spend together, but what we did have I will always cherish.

So sad to lose another cousin, one who I was so close to in age. As children we were always together at Grandma Petrarca's and Aunt Esther's for unforgettable family reunions, with the delicious food that will always be part of our childhood. Robyn was always laughing that wonderful laugh that I will never forget. She was such fun to be with! May God Bless you all in this sad time, and know we are thinking of you all, sending love to you all, and sharing your grief. Debbie Bess
