I'm writing this 5 years later in 2021... miss you my "2nd" mom. You made such a impact on my life, and I'm still reaping the life benefits of our relationship. I thank God for the simple fact that he allowed us to cross paths and create memories that I will never forget. Love you Ma! Bryant "Little Bryant" Garrett

No words that are said can ease the pain, but we know that our faith in The God who keeps us each day can, Reflect on these words in days to come, “You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Mama Robin and Papa Fred were like grandparents to my baby Kamryn. They took care of her from birth until she started school. I was refusing to return to work if Robin could not care for my child. I could never repay her for the loving care that she provided. My heart is broken knowing that my friend is no longer here but I find comfort in knowing that she is resting in the arms of the Lord. I will miss you Robin and thank you for all that you've done for me and my family. You've earned your wings, now go...fly high with Papa Fred and Robert. I love you and I will you miss you.

God bless you all as you miss Robin. There has never been a 'sweeter' or caring person in the whole wide world. The world will miss her; but heaven will adore her as we do.

We shall miss Robin here on earth but rest in knowing she is resting with The Lord in her ' Brand New Home'. Prayers are being said for 'The Family' and her many 'Friends'. Always remember her smile and the hugs to all the children. God bless each family member and each friend in a special way.
