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 your brother, your family, and all the family members. I know how devastating it is. My husband died of cancer last year after we were married for 37 years....May God comfort and bless you all in this time of unfathomable loss, and welcome your dear sister in law to His side.
I’m sorry for your family’s loss.
Prayers for the Robinson family.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living... Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." -- Psalm 116:1-9;15
"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD." -- Psalm 31:24 "I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
I will pray especially for your brother. My wife and I will hit 40 years in July and I know I would be devastated if I lost her.
May the G-d of Jacob send the Comforter to your brother’s family and give them peace and hope. May He fill up the empty vessels with His love, and give great comfort and hope to them, and give great comfort to the entire family, including you and your family.
You got it Jim.
