Savannah Joy Robinson’s Funeral and Memorial

Our sister in-law was unlike any other woman we had ever met before. Often, you meet people who remind you of someone else, but her qualities were immeasurable and hard to put into words. The mother she was to two year old Essie Isla was something to idolize. The wife she was to our brother Sean was nothing short of perfect. She was the daughter any parent would wish for and more. She was so beautiful and carried so much love for her family and friends, and brought so much joy to so many people. From the students she taught, to the people she saw everyday, she did everything with love and the best intentions, never putting herself first. It was a privilege to add her to our family. She was with us 11 years; from family trips, to graduations. It was amazing to see up close the family and life she built with our brother and it has been the greatest sadness of all our lives to lose her. We could never imagine missing someone everyday, until now. The grief that follows her loss is something we will feel forever. She leaves our families broken. Our brother can’t hold his wife again, and she will never get to see Essie’s first dance recital or plan another spectacular birthday. There is a light inside all of us that is forever burned out.

 

Our brother wanted his whole future with her, but is now a single parent. We lost our sister and best friend and now have to fill the shoes she left us. Our home and hearts are broken and anything will help during this time so our family can focus our energy on healing our brother and making their little girl feel as happy and nurtured as possible.
