She made a difference in my life. Thank you, Mrs. Robinson
My condolences to your family Don. Your mom was ever so sweet. My prayers are with you all.
You have my deepest sympathy for the lost of your mother. I have great memories of Bud and Frances and all the good times at the ranch.
I lived down the road from the Circle R/S Ranch and knew Mrs. Robinson through Dr. Doering. I’m so glad they had each other and I know she will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear the loss of your MOM, OUR thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
To all of France’s family – your mother,grandmother was a dear and special friend to my family and me. We shared many hours visiting and supporting each other through the years and especially after the deaths of our husbands. She was an inspiration to me – she had an unbelievable faith and love for her family and her church.I am having knee replacement surgery tomorrow so will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral – I’ll be with you in prayers.
We will be keeping you all in our prayers. LOVE Ric & Mary
