Rest in peace Robin. You've been such a good, kind and loving aunty to my children and was one of my biggest supporters, always cheering me on from the sidelines when you saw me change my life around. You had a kind heart and truly didn't deserve what happened to you. Even from the other side of the world, your absence is felt and you are dearly missed. Your fave sis-in-law, London x x
