Dear Robin, I heard your name so many times this winter when I went to Russia with Patch Adams and 25 clowns to bring love, joy and laughter to sick and orphaned children. You may not know how much hope, joy and laughter YOU have brought to three generations of people. You have. We love you. Are praying for you and your caregivers. Keep your heart and eyes open to signs that you are being cared for and loved. In peace, Judy and Ted in Ca.
Hey Robin, stick around a while, we still want you to keep us laughing for many many years to come. nanoo nanoo
