Card of Thanks
| Once again our dear, dear island and extended friends have come through. You sent beautiful cards, loving notes, exquisite flowers, yummy food and we thank you with all our hearts. We also thank Dick and Carol Bridges, Ricky and Janet Trundy, and John and Judy Williams for taking their boats with family and friends out to Isle au Haut to scatter a portion of Stevie's ashes. Thanks to Brad Carter for a short eulogy and prayers. The remainder of Stevie's ashes were interred in Howard's Hill Cemetery with much appreciation to Rev. Doug Drown, Stu Kestenbaum, Brian Robbins, Steve Robbins III, and Kurt Fairchild. Thanks to all the volunteers of the "Church of the Morning After" who took turns driving Stevie to the Lafayette Center in Brewer for his radiation treatments and Bri and Felicity for all the chemo treatments. No brother could have been more devoted. Northern Light Home Care and Hospice, especially Marge and John, worked hard to keep Stevie comfortable at home and we thank them.
With all our love, Brucine, Stacie, Natalie, and Steve III Robbins |
