To the Robinson Family,
You as a family has suffered a great loss. I was saddened to hear of Betty’s death. At least she has no more pain or illness and she is in a much better place. I didn’t hear about it until the morning of the funeral and was unable to attend. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I found this guestbook while searching for Richard Robinson on the internet. I did not know Betty, but your comments speak volumes. I am reminded of my own mother’s death. If anyone in the family is still checking this site, was the late Richard Robinson a member of the Class of 76 at Reynolds? Can someone in the family write to me? If you are Richard’s family, I have a story I would like to share with you. Many thanks, Scott Dockery
