Danny, Chad, Steven, and Justin, I am so sorry for your loss.
Even though weve lost touch over the years, I have so many memories from work, bowling league, and all the trips we took for Nationals.
I ran into Robin almost a year ago at Walmart in Indianola. We had a good conversation and I will remember the sparkle in her eye, as she caught me up on all of you.
My heart is aching for you and your family. Sending you all prayers for comfort, strength and peace today and the days to come. 🙏❤

I met Robin at Principle Financial Group when she moved with her family to Colorado Springs, Colorado many moons ago. We hit it off right away and became very good friends. I for one, dont let very many people into my heart often, but she captured my soul. We bowled on a league team and I learned how to bowl with her patience and she laughed at me a lot. Big heart she had. Chad, Steven and Justin were like my boys too. They got along with my son as well. She helped me through a lot of heartache and never let me cry alone. But most of all, she gave me the power to stand on my own feet and take control of my life. I will miss her terribly. God, bless this woman who gave so much of herself to everyone she met.

Robin was a wonderful person and will be missed. One of my greatest memories and will always remember was when Robin and Danny went to Vegas with Bruce and me when we eloped. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
