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.

Prayers up, Jim. It’s hard to find the right things to say in times like this, but don’t forget that you have many, many shoulders to lean on around here.

Sad news, Jim. My prayers are with the family. My wife has had a couple of bouts with cancer. I am thankful she is still with me, but it is always scary that it might come back. I can imagine how your brother must feel.

Oh, Jim, I am so sorry. Please let Don know that he and his family are in my prayers.

When Sheila said that Barbara wasn’t doing very well, I didn’t realize that she was this bad.

Father, please be with Don Robinson and his family at this time of great sorrow. Hold them close as you give them comfort. Please welcome Barbara into Heaven to sit by your side. Please give Jim and Sheila comfort. Please Bless the Robinson family. In Jesus Name. Amen.

May the God of All Comfort surround your beloved brother, that he might endure the darkness of these coming days. And may the God of All Healing take hold of each broken heart, that warm memories of times past will give strength for tomorrow. And may the Lamb of God provide assurance that joyous reunion awaits.
