Moved across the street from you when Robbin and I were in 5th grade. Robbin (and whole family) welcomed us to the neighborhood so kindly. She made sure I felt comfortable on my first day at a new school, her kind heart has never changed! My heart is with your family, as well as my prayers.
Robbin will forever be in my heart as well as the memories I have of her. She always made the best roasts, and had the biggest heart.
