My favorite memories of Robin are when the band kids would call her Momma Burton because they knew she would have what they forgot to bring. I will miss her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. Love you girl! Judy VonEssen
Momma Burton,, you always knew how to take care of us band kids; you will be missed!
Robin, you made me say ‘Uncle’. . .I was in the fourth grade when you were born and it was the end of the school year. I remember going to school and announcing to my class that I was now an ‘Uncle’, not sure what that was exactly, but I was one now. You were always loved so much from the very beginning and I know your spirit will live in all those who loved you. Uncle Tom
