Daughter close your eyes and rest
And GOD will grany you what is best
He'll take you to the prromised land
With the guide of his merciful Hand
And happiness you will find
For in your life you've been so kind
And when it's time for us to rest
God will grant us too what's best
And then together we will be
A happy reunited family

To my left-handed cousin Robyn. I am left-handed too as you know. Thanks for all those left-handed things you have given me throughout the years, especially the composition book for lefties, plus the other gifts. I still have the Mug Rug and the tissue box holder you gave me years ago.

We did share two things in common: South paws(lefties), and always single, never married. I am sure you as well as myself enjoy the single life. There is much to be said about being single over 40 and loving it.

You will be missed Cousin Robyn or RAT. 41 years on this earth is too short. You lived a full life in those 4 decades. Now you are experiencing the fullest life of all for an eternity. Hey, why don't you start a Lefties club up yonder.

Oh, tell George Steele hello for me. I haven't seen him in 26 years. I wonder if he still eats ice milk and chitterlins.

Until we meet again my dear cousin.

Robyn, There is still some tears of sadness however more tears of happiness as mom and I look back on all the good times we had together. You driving as we went to places like Charleston,Beauford,Savannah,
Tallahassee,Biltmore,Stone Mtn and
Orlando WDW,Tampa and many more.
You wanted to get a new van and we said when you got well we would go
looking for a new one. You did not get well here on earth, however, you were
healed completely June 11. Mom and I had to look for a new van with you looking down from heaven. We hope you
are please with our selection. Uncle Steve and Aunt Phyllis put your favorite tree where the cherry tree was. There is a beautiful weeping
willow there now. We miss you so very much and I have the three visions in my head forever and "OH MY WORD, I'M SO HAPPY, OH MY WORD, I'M SO HAPPY, OH MY WORD, I'M SO HAPPY. Yes I know you are happy now as you are with the one you so longed to meet....JESUS.
Mom and I love you baby and someday we will be there to rejoice with you.

Uncle Bill, Aunt Pud, Ricky, & Kenny, I know you all will truly miss Robyn. She was a special person. I loved her so. She was the sister I never had. I loved the times we shared..sending letters, then sending the cassette tapes, then the videotapes, then emails. I loved the times we spent together during the summer. She ALWAYS made me laugh !!!!! My heart is sad because I can't believe she is no longer here on earth. But I know she is with our Heavenly Father rejoicing. I know when she took her final breath our "Papa Steele" was there in heaven to welcome her with open arms. I will miss the emails and cards she would always send at birthdays and anniversarys. She never missed one. Hannah & Rebekah always loved getting letters and cards from "Cousin Robyn". I thank God for my Cousin Robyn ... I will love and miss her always !!!

Dearest Bill, Pud and Family
Every memory of Robyn will always be precious to me. From the first day that you brought her to Pulmonary Rehab when I had the honor of meeting her and helping her learn how to control her lung disease, I knew she was special. She was such an inspiration to everyone as she worked so hard on her exercise program and encouraged each patient to keep trying. I remember how much she loved and helped our Better Breather's Club Support Group. It was an honor to be her Rehab Nurse and her friend. Now she is in heaven waiting for all of us who love and miss her. May you find comfort in knowing that God chose you as parents for his special Robyn. He knew you would always be by her side loving and supporting her. God Bless you always. Love, Joy

From the Hamilton family (in PA) to the Therrell family, and friends of Robyn, it is with a heavy heart and deepest of sympathy that I write this legacy. Although my wife Tina, and I, only got to be around Robyn for a brief time; meeting her in Bryceville and having the honor and privilege to be Don’s wedding party with her. We’ve known her for years, and were extremely saddened to hear of her passing. In the short time we were around her we found her to be a very happy and upbeat person with a true love for life and her family. She was a very loving person that took great pride in helping to care for her parents as well as Don with his heath issues. We always asked about her when we spoke to Don and felt badly that she was having the difficulties with her health that she was. Even though she was struggling you never expect to hear news like this. So please except our condolences and may god bless your family during this difficult and trying time.

Therrell Family,

You were blessed with a very special daughter and sister. She was an Angel on this earth, she loved God with all her heart and lived every day with the peace of God and His love and understanding. God had a reason for her being sick I believe it was for the testimony that was shone through her to others that God is real and can be with us all no matter what we have to go through.

She was always ready to do whatever she was asked to do . She was a good example of her work to Glorify God. She would help to work at the church on dinners and other work that was needed too. She was a good influence on the people . She was a good youth worker my boys enjoyed being with her and going places that were oriented for them. Robyn had a ministry at home of praying for all she loved and she enjoyed sending cards to people and the receiver would always be touched by her kindness.

She will be missed but she is now in a new body and no oxygen is needed for her. She is walking the streets and wearing her gold crown and greeting Jesus and those that went on ahead of her. And I know she will be waitng at the gates to help those who knew her, I know her biggest prayer was for everyone to get right if they aren't right with God so she will see them again. God bless you in this time of the void left in your home and lives.

To my Brother and Sister in-law,

I would like to say that over all the years of knowing Robyn she was definitely an inspiration to us. Her courage, and her strong faith in God was so awesome. I know that it is hard to fill the void of someone as unique as Robyn, but she is breathing on her own now, no more pain and no more depending on oxygen. She now is at rest and at peace. Keep this in your heart to know that she is now in a much better place and she would want you to be happy for her,this was her goal in life on this earth to make a difference, and she surely did. We love and will keep praying for you and the boys. May God bless you.

Love your baby sister Phyllis and Husband Steve.

To the Therrell family.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Robin was a special person. I will always remember her. She was funny, had a great smile and had a unique laugh. I am truly blessed to have known her and how she sought me out at the Rec site as I was much older than her. She and I clicked. She and a few of us would take our 15 min breaks and lunch together. Even though she and I haven't seen each other since we left the Rec site, we kept in contact. Either by phone or by email. Robyn you will truly be missed. Miriam Soto

To the Therrell family,
I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I met Robyn years ago, when we both worked at the Remote Encoding Center. We became very good friends. After the REC center closed, Robyn and I kept up with each other by sending cards and notes at the holidays. I regret though, that I lost touch the past couple of years, because I have been going through a lot, and working a lot of hours at the post office. About three or four weeks ago, while working, I came across a package for Mr. Donald Therrell. I recognized the last name and the address, and I wrote a little "hello to Robyn" on the box. I hope she was able to see it. I just happened upon Robyn's obituary while looking for one of my husband's relatives. Robyn will truly be missed. She was a good friend to me when we worked together. I will keep you in my prayers. Always,
