To The Robinson Family,

My deepest condolences. I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Robinson. I remember Mrs. Robinson as being a kind and loving person. My daughter, Noelle attended Cinderalla Daycare. I truly believe that this started her on the right path for achieving success. It was also a few years ago that Noelle attended Longwood University, and there she met a very sweet young lady name Ashley Robinson. They became very good friends. Ashley has so many qualities like her Grandmother. There is no doubt that she will go on to be very successful and certainly business oriented like her grandmother.

My prayer is that God will sustain you and give you comfort during this difficult time.

Prayerfully,

Jonsette Lewis

Mr. Arlington, On behalf of the Lewis Family, I wish to express our deepest sympathy. We have so many warm memories of growing up being associated with your family. I remember fondly the summer cookouts and trips to Buckroe Beach many years ago. "Ms Geraldine" was truly a woman ahead of her time. She was a trailblazer for many women who came behind her. I pray that you and your family find comfort and peace during this time.

Uncle Arlington, what can I possibly say? All I can do at this point is raise my hands and give GOD ALL THE GLORY!!! Aunt Geraldine was such a BEAUTIFUL Woman who wore many hats because if she could do it, then it was done and if she couldn't she'd put you (Uncle Arlington) to work to find an answer. My family has been so blessed over the years to have you both. Thank you God for Blessing the world with "Mrs. Geraldine Robinson".
~From the daughter of Dr. Melvin L. and Yvonne H. Parham. Uncle Arlington We Love You!!!
