"Robin, we are all so sorry to hear about your mother. On New Years Eve, which we spent at Mom's house, we shared many fond memories of traveling adventures with our two families. Burn's lake, Canada comes to mind for me! Please let us know what we can do to help. Our thoughts are with you. Shawna Powers-Patten"
"Robin, so sorry! I have wonderful memories of living next door, going to island Park, Christmas and many more. Our family really love you and your family."
"After many years of doing her hair, we knew each other well. She gave me challenges more often than not but we got through them! She was definitely an "original" No one could compare to her and her unique ways. I am going to miss her and our weekly visits!
She was blessed to have Robyn & Larry by her side through all her illness. It wasn't easy but Robyn is a wonderful daughter. Hugs to Robyn and Larry, grateful Marilyn brought us together.
I hope she is in the Big Flower Garden In Heaven and may she RIP..."
