To the Byrd Family

I worked with Robin at the Midland Building a few years ago. She was quite the breath of fresh air and I could not wait to arrive at my desk in the lobby to greet her and chat.

I only learned on her birthday (yesterday) that she was home with the Lord. I can assure you she is flying around heaven all day and making all laugh.

I will truly miss her and will lift your family up in prayer. May God bless.

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

To Ricci and the other Byrd sisters, Billie Jean & Dedra as well as all the Byrd Family.... I was SO sorry to hear of Robin's passing. I also apologize that I was not able to make her homegoing service. I didn't know Robin very well, but on the social occasions when I was able to be in her company (hanging out with the Byrd Family for various celebrations, etc), Robin was a sweet and funny lady. I knew she had a great sense of humor and it's true, her smile lit up the room. I will continue to lift your family in prayer that God bring peace and strengthen your hearts.

May the unconditional love, laughter, friendship, generosity and the numerous happy memories she left behind always be a blessing & a comfort to each of you.

Robin was truly a special light in the world - she had the ability to bring a smile to everyone's face every single day. I looked forward to seeing her every day at our office, and she had a funny nickname for everyone. She asked us all about our family, and made all of us feel like we were her favorite (I know I was :)). I will forever be grateful to have known her and will remember her always! Prayers and thoughts go to her family as I know they will miss her, but you know she is cracking everyone up in heaven! Love you all! Jenny "49er" Mac

I am so sorry for your loss. Robin was such a wonderful friend and will be missed by so many. It has been hard going to work and not seeing her smiling face everyday. Most mornings I would see her in the lobby as I was coming in to work. If she saw me coming I was greeted by "Good Morning Grandma". I really miss hearing this each day. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and is with her mother in Heaven. Rest in Peace my friend.

Robin was such a unique and loving person. She got people lifted with her humor, her dead-on insight, and that brilliant memory of hers! You could not find anyone more dedicated to her family, job and friends. I most admired how Robin lived every breath acknowledging and praising the Lord. The effect of her faith on her life was beautiful to witness.

My sincerest prayers are with the wonderful Byrd family, today and always. It is a sad time, but I am comforted knowing that Robin is happy in the arms of her Mother and Grandmother.

My love is with you.
