We are so sorry to hear of Robins passing. We were having a family gathering today and were discussing how much we would love to reunite with your family, looked up Robins name to contact her, and saw her obituary. Our hearts are so heavy to hear that she has suffered, but we are grateful that she has received eternal healing and is now in the presence of God. She was a wonderful person, truly kind to all of us, and we know she will be deeply missed. Please know that your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
