Prayer request: My Sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson has passed away

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.

What a wonderful legacy your sister-in-law left for the family. No need to wonder where she is now. She has earned her graduation wings. Those of you left behind will grieve for awhile, but her time with you left you with "love". There is no greater gift, and of course you will never forget her. Nor should you. My heart goes out to you and the family as you grieve. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace.

Love, Nan

I lift you and your brother up to God in prayer. It is so hard to bear the loss of someone so wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your marvelous story of Barbara’s love to you and Sheila in your time of need. How beautiful she must have been to you!

Thank God for Sheila, your angel unawares. May the love she shared with you comfort you - and may your love for her light her way into Heaven...
