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.
My heart goes out to you and your family, Jim. May she rest in peace and may G-d lift the grief and sorrow from your hearts.
God bless the soul of Barbara Robinson in Heaven, and comfort the Robinson and Baker families, especially her husband, Don.
I am so sorry to learn this. I know how it is since my niece called me last night and said my late cousin’s wife had been found dead by her car at a mall. I remember all of the good times we had when I was growing up. She had a son who was 6 years younger than I. I well remember carrying him and dropping him when he was about 6 months old. May God bless you and your family,
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you. The Lord be gracious unto you.
My condolences to the Robinson and Baker families. Barbara is at peace and may each of you find the same peace she now has in your hearts.
Sorry to hear about Mrs. Barbara Robinson....RIP. May God grant you and your family the strength to bear this loss.

Jim, condolences for your family. A favorite psalm for such a time as this is Psalm 90.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn men back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, O sons of men.”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning-
6 though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10 The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span [a] is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger?
For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.
12 Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
17 May the favor [b] of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your brother and his family at this time. God bless.
Prayers up, my friend! I know she is dancing with the angels. May the Lord himself bring you and your whole family comfort as you mourn the loss of your loved one.
Thanks for the Ping, sion.
Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Job 2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that [his] grief was very great.
Prayers respectfully offered. May God be with you all.
Our deepest sympathy. May God grant you all comfort and peace. Prayers up!
