My condolences to Robin's family and friends. I worked with Robin for a few years, and sadly, only kept in touch sporadically in recent years. I think of her fondly always -- especially for her ready smile, humor, and calm support. She quietly made a difference in so many ways, for all whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

To Robin's family: My condolences to the family of Robin. I have known Robin for all of her years of life. She and her mom rode to work with me; after I retired Robin continued riding with my daughter, Terri. She was a loving and generous person who was kind to everyone. I will miss her. She has been on my mind constantly since I learned of her death. If I can help in any way, please contact me.
