Robin came into our lives at the perfect time. I was caretaking for a neighbor of hers on Wheeler Street. She had just purchased her dream home in Steilacoom. We were looking to rent and her home was perfect for us. Because of Robin, we were able to have a home for our small, young family, restore our credit and buy the Wheeler Street house. God placed her in our life for a reason. She was a firecracker! I thank God for Robin.
A member of our "old" Thompson family discovered a death notice for Robin in the TNT and contacted me. I was a member of the Thompson staff from the mid-seventies to the beginning portion of the 1980s; the group from that time period has stayed in touch with one another over the years. This is the time frame during which Robin came to teach at Thompson.
I haven't seen Robin in some time, but I called her within the past month or so--just to check in. She told me about her new four wheeler, and she also spoke of Corban and Chayse. She was upbeat and sounded great!
I remember a snowy day years ago, and Robin called to ask me for a ride to school. I know that i had at least one other person in the car with me. What stood out to me about this is that Robin was from Eastern Washington (so she was more accustomed to driving in snow) and she had a Volkswagon. Meanwhile, I was driving a Pontiac Firebird--not the best car for driving in the snow!?!
Robin had health issues over the years, but she also had grit, determination, and a positive outlook on life!! She will be missed!!
Someone did a lovely job on her obituary. We'd love to know who you are--if for nothing else than to say, "Thank you!!" I have passed it on to those who worked with Robin back in the time frame mentioned above.
By the way, I honored Robin's request. She and I spoke about that situation as well!!
Robin was such a beautiful person. She has touched my heart and will be forever
grateful for our little talks and knowing how we felt about each other.
May she rest in peace and be the brightest star that shines over all the people
she loved dearly.
