So very sorry to hear about Robin’s passing. She was a lot of fun to be around and I enjoyed golfing with her many years ago.
Deepest sympathies Heather. Cherish your memories.
Heather — So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I grew up in the house next door to Robin and Chris — I was older, and babysat them, and they were my brother’s playmates. When we moved to Springfield, your grandfather had just passed, and your grandmother bought our house — 711 West Poplar. I remember hearing that your mom eventually was living there, and liked the idea of it staying in the neighborhood ‘family’! Robin was a nice little girl — so very pretty, and her mom always dressed her beautifully! The photo on this page shows that she grew into a lovely woman, with a sparkle of life and mischief in her eyes! Cherish the memories!!
