Many memories growing up as neighbours in Lucan and my friendship with Robin.
I remember meeting up with Robin in the morning to catch the school bus and your Mom making your lunch while I waited for you. She had a heart of gold and put that heart into everything she did. She always made time for each of you and your friends and welcomed me many times into your home. May your memories be comfort to you all as she passed into the next life❤️
