  20. Goodbyes hurt the most when the story is not finished….

    Sandra, Pop, Mike and Myra, and Family,
    I am deeply sorry to hear about the passing of Sweet Robin. When one leaves the community and the years pass. We still see the little brother of our best friend sneaking around the door frame to see what his older sister and friend are doing. The Robin, that I remember had that shy, unassuming, with a little mischief thrown in Smile. An individual that idolized his big brother, was his big sister’s most devoted (silent) fan. The apple of his Mom’s Eye and Paul just loved his Baby Boy… but who could not!
    As we live each day; tomorrow is not assured just one of the many reasons; we must love unconditionally and totally savor each element of those closest to us. Which is something you do daily, Sandra… You have always loved enormously, without restraint. Family has always been first and foremost. Siblings, though complicated at times, is the oldest and longest relationship, that we will have in this life. Which we as adults, must nurture. But by even not seeing the two of you together of late… I know that you still possessed that big sister ~ little brother bond.
    Steve and I are sending our most sincere condolences, keeping you in thought and prayer.
    Truly,
    Donna and Steve

    Thank you for the beautiful memories of Robin! I sure miss him! I know everything was good with him and the Lird, and God had answered many prayers! Thank you all for the beautiful flowers and I’m so glad Robin and I had always stayed close. But God knew the day, the place and the time.

  22. I am so sorry to hear of Robin’s passing. We attended elementary and high school together, sharing many laughs and good times. Robin was always smiling and brought a smile to my face. Thank you Robin for the good memories. Rest in Peace! My condolences to the family!
