Robin grew up with my younger sister Ginny. They were best friends til the end. Robin was such a good sweet and soft spoken person. She always had that great smile. She will be missed but now God gained an angel. Condolences to her entire family at this time of grief. Give them strength that God will help them through this time of loss. Deborah Robinson Flemming
