Dear Robinson Family,
My deepest regrets on the loss of Kathy. As you know, I was dear friends with Denny, and during Denny’s illness, I really got to know Kathy. I always appreciated how brave she was, during this time. I know how much love you kids had for your folks. Hold strong together during this tough time.
With Love,
Norm Young

Dear Sue, Bill, Nancy, Dennis and Daren,
We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was always so nice and friendly. Scott and I both enjoyed spending time visiting with her in our younger years. Our thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. We hope your memories will bring you comfort and peace at this time and in the years to come. Experiencing the passing of a parent is one of the most difficult things we as humans have to face in this world. It is also a great time to remember how thankful you are for all the time you did spend with your mom and all the lessons she tought you. You are great people and we know how proud she was of each one of you. May the love of your friends and family comfort you.
Scott and Mary Warner

Our mother was a caring mother for the years that we communicated but we didn’t keep communicating and I will always Love her and will miss her until we can see each other again. My mother is with the Lord now she is reunited with her loved ones that have passed before her. All our condolences go out to my Sister and Brothers and to the familys. All our Love and Blessings to all Nancy & Steve Motter 269 720 5508
