Thank you God for creating and blessing me with Mrs. Robinson, definitely an extraordinary woman. She shared stories and supported me (buying and sharing my first book with her children).
I will miss our chats. Hi Ms. Robinson I just want to hear your voice....how are you feeling? She would respond, "I'm doing fine thanks for checking on me."
Yes, now I know and believe she is my new ancestral angel watching over me.
Enjoy your new eternal home with your husband, children, other family members and especially with your Creator God.
