Typing this through tears...I only got to meet Robin a few times, but it was striking how much she and my sister's sister Abby loved eachother...and how perfect they were for eachother. My heart grieves for the loss of one of the GOOD PEOPLE and we're all diminished by your passing, Robin. May peace and light be yours forever!

My deepest sympathy I sent to you. May God’s loving arms wrapped around you in this hour of need.
Many years ago, I worked with Robin at Westinghouse. She was interesting, witty, so down-to-earth and I called her friend. I often wondered what happened to her, and now she is home in heaven. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
