I first met Irma Mrs. Robinson or lady diva as we all called her at Watkins Elementary School. She worked with many special needs students including my nephew. When I went to visit her we talked about that tall gangly shy little boy she had worked with for 4 years. She couldn't believe that he was now in the 11th grade still shy but doing very well. I told her much of what she had done to help him was a true blessing. I shared with Irma how that child had lost his own mother and her being there everyday brought a smile to his face. She will truly be missed but I know in my heart and soul she is in a much better place.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend and former co-worker, Irma Robinson. Irma had the most beautiful spirit. She was always ready to help others. Whenever I thanked her for doing something that just "made my day," she would always say, "my goal in life is to just help others." She was a model educator, motivator, mentor, colleague and friend. I will forever cherish memories of her because she had the kind of love that only God could give, and she shared it everyday of her life with all who came in contact with her! I truly pray that all who knew her will heal from the pain of her passing. I know that I am blessed beyond measure, and truly thank God for having met Irma J. Robinson - one of His most beautiful angels who truly blessed my life beyond measure.
Sincerely,
Cynthia O. Pugh,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
