Robin, aka “Yoo-Hoo”, was well-known throughout the community for her bodacious personality and undeniable sense of style. She had an undying love for music and a strong angelic voice. Whether at family functions, lounging around the house, or walking down the street, Robin would bolt out beautiful notes and captivate her audience.
