My sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson, passed away on Saturday. She had been suffering from cancer for several months. She had underwent radiation therapy and they thought it was gone, but it came back a couple months later and caused much pain and suffering before it took her life. She was a devoted wife, mother and dear friend. My brother, Don Robinson, is heartbroken and feeling lost. They had been sweethearts since they first met as teenagers. They had been married for over forty years. He and his family are in need of prayer.
Barbara also leaves her surviving children, Jeanette Draper and Jackie Harris and grandson Eric Robinson. Her son Don Jr. preceded her in death. She also leaves her loving father Lawrence Baker and brothers Mike, David and Timothy and sister Kathy. The Robinson and Baker families have been very close these last forty plus years. We’ve traveled and camped together from one end of California to the other. Barbara was like a mother to us all. She cared for us and looked out for us. She was always there when anyone needed her. She especially looked out for me and Sheila after she had her stroke. She came over three times a week to help Sheila bathe and dress, cleaned our house and fixed our lunch. And, as I was working at my desk, she made sure my cup or glass was never empty. She was a great and loving friend to us all. We will remember her always.
God bless.
Prayers for blessings of strength and comfort for your brother as he mourns the loss of his wife. Prayers for each of her loved ones. God bless.

Prayers for the entire Robinson family; I’m so sorry for your loss.
Prayers sent, for all your family.
Our sincerest condolences to your family in this difficult time.
Jim:
It is at times like this that the deep and true humanity of this site is brought home to us, the old-timers and, I hope to those among us that have just found this community and the family of like-minded people it contains.
A mere prayer is never enough to convey the heartfelt warmth and compassion set forth on these pages day after day nor the grace with which they are received and appreciated.
I’ve no doubt that she was well loved and will be long remembered and I only hope that at the end of all these earthly travails that a reunion of kindred souls will be the final homecoming.
Stay strong, stay vigilant and we will stand with you.
My deepest condolences.
Ken
