Mark Robbins thanks well-wishers

Date: 7/14/2009

To the friends, family and loyal customers of Mark Robbins Jewelers:

I would just like to take a moment to thank everyone who stopped by, called or sent letters to the store out of concern. I have never felt such a strong sense of community in the Springfield area. Despite the horrible devastation that struck my business of 27 years, I must say that through events such as these community, friends and family become apparent and come together in times of need. I could dwell on this misfortune, but instead I would prefer to turn this situation into a positive one.

With that being said, it is time to make Springfield a better place in which to work and live.

Once again I would just like to thank the community, my friends and my family for all of their support and concern. It is people like you who have helped me get back on my feet and continue my life-long passion and business.

Mark Robbins
