I'll always remember Babs; because she was interested in so many things and so am I. In trying to find her gravesite one time, I ran out of time and never did find it. One Spring day, I will try again. She is in Heaven, of course; but she made the world in Illinois so much better by her service. Blessings to her family and friends on the anniversary of her passing. With love, Ellen & Tom Robinson

Babs with the Hugh Drakes this past summer....we will all miss her so much!

Dear Henry and family --
So sorry to see that your mother passed. My family and I saw her at Cathedral on a fairly regular basis and we noticed that she had become fragile, and yet still SO independent!
Prayers for you all. May God give you Strength and Peace.

Babs offered Boomer's garden flowers to brighten up our wedding day on June 1, 2002. We were on the YWCA Board together. Always sharing with others to "bring them along". With love The Robinsons

We called her Aunt Babs. She was always a cheerleader for whatever cause or endeavor in which we where involved. She and my mom were the best of friends and each others toughest debate partner :) She will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love and miss you Aunt Babs.
