WHEREAS, In 1999, Robin Savino met the love of her life, Edward Tunstall, a retired New York City Fire Department Firefighter; together they built a life of warmth, adventure, and deep companionship, relocating from Bayside, Queens, to Rosebank, Staten Island, in 2004, where they made their home and filled their years with travel, cruises, and the joy of time shared with friends and family; and

WHEREAS, Robin Savino was predeceased by her beloved Edward in 2017, and in her passing, they are reunited; and

WHEREAS, Robin Savino's commitment to excellence, and her spirit of warmth and generosity, carried over into all aspects of her life, and she was beloved by all who had the privilege of knowing her; and

WHEREAS, Armed with a loving spirit and imbued with a fierce capacity for joy, Robin Savino leaves behind a legacy of devotion that will long endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all she loved and befriended; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to mourn the death of Robin Savino, beloved sister, devoted companion, and esteemed member of her community; and be it further
