Pat, Paulette and family:
My heart weeps. I loved Mrs. Robinson just as I loved my own grandmother.
I found her to be warm, loving and accepting.
She made me feel like more than just the 23 year old nurse (kid really) that took care of her precious JoAnn (as did Pat and Paulette).
In as much as it saddens me to have lost my dear friend - I am elated in the knowledge that Mrs. Robinson is now resting in the arms of THE FATHER and is being serenaded by angels. I know she is now in the company of her much loved husband, daughter and other family members in the glory of her Heavenly home.
My heart is heavy with sorrow but I rejoice in the knowing that Mrs. Robinson will no longer have to suffer the pain, sorrow and disappointments of this world.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and love such a wonderful lady as Mrs. Robinson and her caring daughters. I do however, wish it had been under different circumstances.
Much love to the family. You are as always in my prayers. God Bless.!

I apologize if this shows up twice. i lost internet connection just as i pushed the sign guestbook button.

I am so sorry about your mom. I thought so much of her, she was such a sweet lady. I know that mom (Dorothy Lammers) and her were really good friends. They used to have so much fun cleaning houses together. I know that mom would be really upset if she knew, but her alzheimers is so advanced she won't comprehend it. She didn't even know when dad died in November. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
