Thank you all very much for your comforting words and prayers.

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.

Thank you for telling us something about Barbara. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have had people like her in our lives know that legacies of love and care such as hers have a way of continuing to bless the lives they’ve touched, long after they’ve passed into eternity, and even to sustain through the grief of their loss.

Thank you, too, for the opportunity to take each of your names before His throne of grace in prayers on your behalf.
