I just want you to know that we will always have great memories of "Uncle Bob" :) I will never forget when we would ask him what he was doing and he would say, "Oh just goobering around" :) He was a wonderful person with a heart of gold!! I love you always and pray that GOD gives you and the family the strength to get through this difficult time and for the days and years to come to calm and ease you heart and pain.

Hello Holly,
just want to send my condolence to you and your family, very sorry to hear that Dr. Robbins has passed away, I remember him very well when I was working at Methodist hospital, I can still picture him coming to the hospital early in the morning gathering all his patient's charts and putting them in that basket, going from room to room rounding on his patients, he will be greatly missed, my thoughts and prayers are with you always, just know that the lord is close to those who are down in spirit, he is your comforter during this sad time in your life, best wishes to you always.....
