Jim, There are no words that can be said that instantly heals the heart and mind. With time comes the healing process and within this process look to family and friends for the support that you will need as we will be there for you. My family and I are sorry for your loss of a loving wife and mother and the wonderful person that she was.You and the little ones are in my prayers may God give you strength.

This is so shocking and there aren't many/any words that could ease any of hurt and loss that I am sure the family is feeling. Though only knowing Robin briefly, the time we did share was fun...she was very warm, hospitable and a very sharing person. Jim, the healing will take time and know that you can reach out to any of us if you need us. We will be thinking of you and those little babies constantly.

Robin was the most amazing person - her eyes, smile, and laugh would light up the room. I met her at the library story time and became friends from there. Words can not express how so so so deeply sorry for your loss I am. She will truly be missed! Please let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do to try to help.
Sincerely,
