So sorry to hear about Carolyn. She made my day every time she came in Drugco. She always kept me posted on her family and when we hung out she always told me to make sure you behaved, Robbie! I will miss her and will keep all of y'all in my prayers. David, take care of yourself! I miss seeing you, too since I quit work!

Love,
Christi Powers Brantley

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Ms. Robbins. She would call me from time to time at work and we would chat as along as my time permitted. She would always tell me a joke or two and she would always end our conversation with saying "Sharon you are a good girl". I was very fond of her, and she will be missed.

David, Mike & Robbie, along with other family members, we will greatly miss Carolyn here at Drugco. She would always make sure she talked to everyone of us when she came in and most of the time it was every day! To the girls here she would always comment on our hair and to the boys she would always tell them how nice they were looking! We will greatly miss her. To me personaly she would always ask about my daddy and Garrett's family. She was very caring person!
