ROBIN DOUGLAS

Our sincere condolences Bruce, Anne, Stella and Theo. We enjoyed the time we spent with Robin at many of the Monona Memorial Day parades! She loved sitting and visiting with Grandma Marian! A little known story was about a black lab rescue from Green County that Robin brought up to Madison.  Robin hired Chase to do some work at her house and during that time she thought Chase and Molly would be the perfect choice for Nico’s future family. (He was renamed Scout)  Robin was right! Scout turned out to be a great dog who brought so much joy to all our lives.   I so enjoyed chats with Robin, especially her dry sense of humor- no matter what the topic was.  We will miss you Robin. Hugs to you all. The Ottaviano family 

Dear Bruce...words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. The picture of Robin with her head resting on her hand is one that I remember…I also remember she was very smart, and I have to say, Stephen Hawking and the UK crowd, summed it up quite nicely with “Bubbly Blonde.” I remember her vividly at times when I would sleep over at your house…so many years ago...Listening to Cheap Trick, riding around in the Fiat, sitting in the Egg Chair, or talking with your parents and sister in the living room. After reading Robin’s Obituary again, I remembered your sister liked Star Trek. I did as well, and still sometimes watch it. Also, If I recall, the first time I heard Born to Run was at your house and your sister’s album. The last time I saw Robin was probably sometime in the 80’s when we were in Madison. It does not seem that long ago…I can also remember her in grade school and high school. Some memories just come flooding back to you…Robin will live on in the lives of those around her…your children, and you. I am thinking of you and your family and will keep you in my prayers…You shared many memories of your sister, and I hope those bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Your friend, Jeff aka, Barley.

My heartfelt sympathy as you bid Robin farewell! Her unique spirit of adventure is to be admired! People and animals all over have benefitted from her talents….and love of learning. I hadn’t seen her in years when I drove down Poplar Court and met her in the driveway. She invited me in to visit with your Mom and on several other occasions. I enjoyed those visits…remembering earlier days. I know her presence will be missed, but am comforted knowing she is at peace. Many memories will live on in family and friends..blessed for having crossed paths with an extraordinary human!  Peace and love. Ann
