Robynn's Obituary

It can be found in Saturday & Sunday's paper at;
http://www.bakersfield.com/

I have had many requests via email and I think most of them can be accommodated when this is available to you tomorrow. If not...you know where to find me;)

Brain, Hailey, "Calkan" and I have made it back to Bakersfield safely and are waiting for
Mum-Mum, Papa, Brady and Tanner to get here.
Thank you for praying for safe travels!

XOXO!
Pray On!

I have spent a great deal of time over the last few days thinking about the emotional and spiritual journey I have taken since learning about Robynn and her fight. So many thanks to Missy Harker, who posted a link on her websight to help the Goodell family. Had it not been for Hayjac, I would never have discovered the blog and so much more... about the kind of person I wanted to be. But it wasn't just Missy...or the jewelry that brought me to Hayjac in the first place, it was also about Shelley, and her beautiful, thoughtful words. Had it not been for that, I might not have had a reason to "read" on. And finally it was about Robynn. Her story struck a cord deep within me and pulled at my "mother strings" as I thought about my own 9 year old boy and 6 year old girl. How easily this could be anyone of us! I consider myself lucky, fortunate, and blessed by your willingness to share. I remain inspired by all the comments left by friends and strangers. I too hope that you will all look back on this blog as a testiment to the love and affection you all feel for one another... That you will read though comments and be reminded of your family's tremendous and lasting impact on us all.

God Bless your family. I wish I would have known Robynn. She sounds like such a beautiful soul. I can't wait to meet her in Heaven one day. God was surely blessed when she joined him.

Brian,
I am sure you want to keep the kids close by... But, we are just right down the street if Hailey and Brady are up to hanging out with old friends. Just an offer, as we know you have tons of friends and family to spend time with over the next couple of days. We are here if you need it. They are welcome anytime! Hang in there!
Sincerely,
Tonya

What a wonderful obituary. I only hope when my time comes my loved ones have so many beautiful things to say about my life. Robynn accomplished so much in her short time. What a fabulous woman.
Love, hugs and continued prayers for your family.

I just found your site this morning (Robynn and I share the same name and spelling) doing some searching on my own blog before heading off to teach Sunday School.

I'm so sorry you have been parted from her. She sounds like an incredible woman, wife, friend, and mother. How blessed you all were to have her and how blessed she was to have all of you.

God bless you as you walk through these difficult days. I will be praying for her dear children and husband as they walk through this difficult time and Christmas season. Your faith and strength encouraged a stranger this morning. I'm sure Robynn's legacy will live on in so many ways.

Good Morning,

I just wanted to come and listen to her songs and be among her friends. Although this blog has sometimes been the bearer of bad news, it has more often been a source of love. It is the love that brings me here everyday and I don't really know how to start my day with out it. So, from one soldier to hundreds...I am missing her today.
