Robin Angela Viens - Site Memorial Online

When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!"

today and saw this message for all of you--Art, Leah, Melanie, Shawn, Shelby and Audrey:

 

Remember....

I'm There In Your Heart

I know there is sorrow whre laughter once played,

And lingering tears, causing gladness to fade,

But there's a sweet comfort our memories impart,

So always remember....

I'm There, In Your Heart.

 

Love you all

You are a special little girl...although I guess not so little anymore. You have always been the center of our world - especially your Amma's world. I hope you know how much she loved you. I know people say they don't have favorites, but you were hers by far. She will always watch over you and Audrey. She will always see your accomplishments and be proud of you. I am so sorry you lost your Amma baby. You know that I love you and will always be here for you. I am counting on you to help Audrey remember Amma. I love you pookie!

 

Love,

 

Auntie

As much as I miss mom, I can't imagine the loss you feel everyday. Everyone who knew you both saw such a great love. My friends were always jealous and wanted parents like mine. I am so grateful that I had such amazing role models growing up. How lucky was I to have two parents who not only loved their children, but each other unconditionally. I don't know if this gets easier - maybe more so for us than you. But you have us. Three strong children and two beautiful little girls who love their papa so much. It's ok if you can't be strong right now. It's too great of a loss. I love you dad.

Art, Leah, Melanie and Shaun-

We were so sorry to hear of Robin's passing.  I will always remember her quick wit and her wonderful sense of humor.  If you got on the wrong side of Robin, she would let you know immediately and that is one thing I loved about her.  After we moved to Reno almost 10 years ago, we talked a few times and wrote cards back and forth.  She had recently sent me a card telling me that Art and her had moved to Salem for medical reasons, that we hadn't talked in a while and to give her a ring.  It had sat on my desk for a few months and I kept looking at it and telling myself to give her a call.  But as life goes, I let it sit there too long and didn't call.  How I wish I would have.  Art, you and your family are in our thoughts and I hope that all the wonderful memories you have of Robin through the years will give you the strength that you will need to get through this difficult time. 

We met Art and Robin several years ago., while on a cruise. We had a wonderful week with them.  Robin was full of life and a joy to be around.  Art, we are very sorry for your loss.  Tonight we will have a toast to Robin, if I remember correct, she had a fondness of Long Island Ice Tea.  

 

 

I have had the honor and pleasure of working for Art and with Melanie. I have no doubt how much she means to you all by the way you spoke of her. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Robin was a good friend and  I will miss her. Robin and I went to high school together and some of my fondest memories are of all the good times we had and the trouble we caused our parents.  I spent summers with Robin at Sand Hill pool, where she met Artie. I laugh to myself when I think about some of the things we got into!  She was definetly full of life!  My condolences to Artie and their family. Love, Rose

Art and family,

even though our meeting was brief it was as if we knew each other for a long time having both lived in Alaska, thanks for the memories and the stories.  I am so sorry for your loss, May God bless each of you in your journey through your losss of a loved one.
