Robin was always a very special person who left beautiful memories with everyone she knew. We were so sorry to see Robin and Gary move from Lake Oconee to Florida, but we were happy for her family to enjoy her presence. She enjoyed her role as grandmother and making memories with all of her family. Sometimes we wonder why the truly special folks in our lives are called home. God likely appreciated Robin’s giving spirit and her ability to make those around her feel positive and loved, so that HE has a new angel at his side. As we look out into the sky each night from either Lake Oconee or the mountains of Rabun County, we will look for the brightest star in the sky and know that our beloved Robin is home. We will keep the Plessl and their extended family in our continuing thoughts and prayers. Chuck and Jeanne Rowland

Robin was a shining light in everyone’s life who knew her. So outgoing, friendly and full of life. We loved her and will miss her dearly. She left all of us way too young after a courageous health battle. We hope Garry and Danny can cling to the great memories they had with her to help getting through these difficult times.

At this time of missing Robin, please know that our thoughts, love, and prayers are with you and your family. If there had not been so much love shared by Robin to you, and us, it wouldn’t be this hard to say goodbye. At least for now.
