a baby boomer's second life

In Memory of Robin Miller

August 26, 2016 By Cathy Miller 8 Comments

Robin Miller – 1951-2011

This is dedicated to my sister-in-law, Robin Miller. This was originally posted on August 28, 2011, two days after her passing.

Today on August 26, 2016, it has been five years since Robin left this earth. Her family and friends still remember her laugh, her love, and her dedication to her family. We miss you, Robin.

In Memory of Robin Miller

There are some people you meet that are all about family

Robin was one of those people

Everything she did was for the love of her family – her husband (my brother), her children and grandchildren

What I remember most is her laugh when you caught her off-guard

Something I was good at doing – although nowhere near the Master my brother is

She celebrated her family and her faith

As we should celebrate Robin

When the sadness overwhelms, close your eyes

Remember the love you never questioned

The embracing arms that held you close

And the devotion that was always hers

Thank you, Robin, for the gifts you so freely gave

We treasure you in our hearts

 

=================

Live…Laugh…Love

    Sorry about your loss Cathy. I bet writing the tribute was something good for you to do.

    A lovely and touching tribute, Cathy. Sorry you have lost someone so dear, but it’s wonderful to have had someone so wonderful, even if for too short a time. A heart-warming photograph too, what a lovely smile. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Beautiful tribute, Cathy. It’s so hard when a bright light in our lives is extinguished. Much love as you remember your sister-in-law.

      I’m not really sure why Feedburner decided to send this out again. Maybe it was Robin’s idea to remember all that is precious during the holiday season. Robin was like that. Thanks, Lori. Hope you have a blessed holiday season.
