I would like to express our families sincerest gratitude for all the acts of kindness that so many friends and family has shown in this loss of our mother. All the cards, flowers, food, calls, visits, and prayers has helped us to be comforted. My mother was a believer in Christ Jesus, therefore we know that she is now resting in his arms and through with the pain and troubles of this world. Continue to pray for us for there are some difficult days ahead, but we know that GOD is good all the time and he does not make any mistakes. Thank you all so much for the love that you have shown us.



Sincerley,



Mary J. Robinson
