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. Weve 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 are on the way.
So very sorry to hear this. Prayers for your brother and for all your family and all of her family and friends.
It is never easy to go through losing our nearest and dearest loved one. But God will carry all of you through.
Grief share is also one great resource as are other places where one can grieve openly unafraid. Some do not choose to do that...but the pain of loss is so great.....it is great help to many to let some of that pain out by talking it out.
How wonderful that your sister in law left such a legacy of love....remembering her love and her life will bring great and wonderful memories. God be with all of you through his presence as your very real Comforter.
God is near to the brokenhearted.
I’m so sorry, Jim.
Prayers for her eternal rest.
Keeping your family in prayer.
