I will always remember the first day I met Robyn when we became roommates at the University of Michigan. I was stunned by her warmth, beauty and southern charm. We enjoyed many of the same things and had a wonderful time while she was in Michigan. She shared, long distance, her happy marriage to Norman and the delight of the births of her children and grandchildren but not her illness. When we last spoke several years ago I had no idea what was happening to her. I hope that she has peaceful rest now and that you all will remember all the wonderful times you have had with your beautiful Robyn. I know I will. Carol Roberts, Bloomfield Hills, MI.
