Beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother – you will be missed more than you can imagine. You were always there for your family no matter what. You had a heart of pure gold, and your smile always lifted my spirit. Your caring ways were a source of comfort and strength for your entire family. Without warning you endured one last battle that you could not win. Now you are at peace, united forever with dad, your soul mate of 66 years. We love you mom and will celebrate everyday that God gave you to us.
Dot will always remain in my heart. She was a great friend.
To Les and Robin and Their Families-
We are sad to learn this latest news. Our hearts and prayers are with all of you at this very moment. Your love for her and for each other lifts us all up.
Love, Mark and Glenda Warner
Wished we lived closer to support you all in this trying time. She was such a sweet lady. We are so sorry for your parents quick end of life so close together. They were such a loving couple. God Bless you all.
I have very fond childhood memories of visiting your home in North Haven. Recently my family and I had enjoyed several more happy occasions at your home. Somehow we always think there will be more time to share with those we love. Sometimes however, God has other plans. I know my Uncle needed you up in Heaven, and so you went to guide him. We will miss you Aunt Dot, but it is of some comfort to know that you are united once again, with Uncle Les. Love Always, Christy, Jay & Family (Kristina, Angela, John, and Todd)
I am so very sorry for the passing of such a beloved and caring family member. I have wonderful memories from childhood playing with Robin under her motherly supervision. She created a safe and pleasing environment for us to enjoy and my life has been enriched because of her. Her love continues to touch all that have had the great blessing of knowing her. My thoughts are with you.
Mom a day does not go buy when I do not think of you and miss all the wonderful times we were able to share. I was a surprise but you told me I kept you on yiur toes. Every trip, every day we were able to be partners and truly could talk about anything and everything. Today you and Dad would have had 70 yrs together, those years were hard working years and you taught me so much I cannot Thank You enough. Love you Always and Forever and you and Dad are still my sunshine. Corey and I miss our 3rd amigo we truly were a fun crew. You would be proud of all and crazy about Dante and Stella. They remember you well and talk about missing you. Love you Always and Forever. Sunshine! xoxo 😘
