In Loving Memory of Robyn

We are heartbroken to share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Robyn, who served as a Visit Coach and TBRI Educator with The Salvation Army Children's Services in the Lehigh Valley for over 12 years. Robyn was a passionate advocate for birth parents, children in foster care, and the families who support them.

As a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Educator, Robyn brought trauma-informed compassion and hope to every family she encountered. She believed deeply in the power of connection, healing, and restoration - even in the midst of pain and uncertainty. Robyn once shared:

"I have the honor of supporting families through a time of overwhelming grief and fear to a place of renewed hope, strengthened skills, and healthier relationships."

Her unwavering dedication and heart for children from "hard places" left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege to know her. Robyn's legacy lives on in the families she supported, the lives she touched, and the healing she helped make possible.

We are grateful for the time we had with her. She will be dearly missed.
