I am extremely sorry I am not able to attend. I have many amazing memories of growing up with the McCallister family. Robin was an amazing human being and will be greatly missed. 
Robin will be missed by so many.  She was simply an amazing, down to earth person.  I was blessed to have known her and will always remember the advice and kind words she offered.  Keeping Terry and the family lifted in prayer❤️

Thinking of Terry, Lauren, and Kate at this difficult time. Robin was a lovely person and will be greatly missed. 

A few years ago, Robin welcomed a new brother into her life with no question or consideration. I will always treasure our long conversations and correspondences. And although I knew her all too briefly, she enriched my life in countless ways. She had the mind of a scientist and the heart of a mystic, a rare combination in this world. And she will live in my heart forever.   Bless you, my sister.

With love,

David

Robin gave us all so much: her strength and beauty, her personal warmth, her genuine listening,  her humor,  her wide and deep understanding,  her gracious love.   We will miss her treasured  presence in our lives.  All our love to you, Terry, Lauren,  Kate, and to all your family.   Lynn and Rob
I am so grateful to have known Robin most of my life and hold such wonderful memories of her — especially our times together at her happy place by the sea in St. Teresa. Those moments are ones I will always treasure. I feel deeply enriched by those times and by the true friendship she shared with our family. Sending lots of love. 
Grew up with Robin and McCallister family at St. Teresa! Two doors down! Loved them all including Robin’s brothers!
This is how I remember Robin …
This is how I remember Robin the most...in the school photo she sent me when we were grade school penpals. Through the years she was the best person to talk to about everything from losing parents (our fathers were brothers) to raising kids, to living through what life threw at us. Robin was exceptional in her kindness and intelligence and I will miss her so very much. My deepest condolences to Terry, Kate and Lauren but I hope there is comfort in the fact that you had the best partner and mother that anyone could hope for. My love and thoughts are with you. Cynthia

Sending my very deepest condolences to Kate and your whole family. I never met Robin, but reading this beautiful obituary helps me understand why Kate is the wonderful woman I know her to be: So intelligent and capable and kind and generous, and she always makes everyone around her feel well taken care of. 

Kate, what a blessing to have a mother like Robin. And I’m sure she felt blessed to have a daughter like you.

How lucky we all are to have known Robin. I always looked forward to babysitting Lauren and Kate not only because you two were great but because your mom saw me for who I really am. She loved the people in her life authentically. In recent years, we exchanged notes on clinical trials and opportunities for new cholangiocarcinoma treatments. Robin became an overnight expert in the molecular biology and treatment possibilities and navigated her options with clarity and wisdom. Her continual decision to hope again and again touched me deeply. I will always remember her special kindness, wisdom, and laughter. She will continue to shine in Lauren, Kate, Terry, her siblings, friends, and all whose lives she touched ♥️

Robin gave so much to all of us by living out her name, as a bright light of freedom and joy. We will miss her ever warm presence in our lives. Our hearts go out to you, Terry, Lauren, and Kate, and to all her closest kin and friends.  Love, 

Tom and Margaret 

So sorry to hear of Robyn’s passing.  I wish we could have met  and I could have shown  her the house of our Great Grandfather Short and shared some memories with her. Prayers and love to the family.
Robin was one of the kindest classmates in the Class of 1972, Leon High School!  This is the way I will remember her.

To the McCallister family,

Our heart goes out to your family during this difficult time.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Thinking of you,

Jolanta and Jerry Gruszka
