I stand before you today to remember and honor my Great Grandmother Robinson, a woman who deeply impacted my life. As a little boy, she would always send me these pamphlets about Christianity, and I would eagerly read them and cherish them. Year after year, no matter where I moved, she made sure those pamphlets reached me. I held onto them, reading them over and over. Today, I can trace my strong faith back to the loving outreach and dedication of my Great Grandma Robinson. Her commitment to sharing her beliefs left a lasting mark on my heart.

I also have a memory from one of her birthday parties that I’ll always hold dear. She received a tall, round, blue vase as a gift, and I vividly remember watching it start to fall off the table. Without thinking, I reached out and caught it, saving it from breaking. The joy on her face in that moment was priceless. It made me feel remarkable, quick-handed, and it gave me a sense of confidence in my own abilities. That moment has stayed with me and played a role in shaping my belief that I could achieve great things in life through my dexterity and athleticism.

And I want to share one more thing about Great Grandma Robinson. She was a true example of hard work. My father and I visited her one day, knocking on the door, and when we learned that she was home, we realized she couldn’t hear us because she was busy cleaning the bathroom. That was the kind of woman she was—always working, always giving, always making sure things were taken care of.

Great Grandma, your love, faith, and strength have left a profound impact on me. I love you, and my heart goes out to you as we say goodbye. Thank you for everything.

I will never forget how Grandma Robinson always remembered my birthday from the time she met me at 19 years old until just a few years ago. Every year I knew I could count on receiving my birthday card in the mail stuffed with beautiful little booklets of scriptures, and lessons from God. I knew that if I didn’t get anything else that year I would be getting my card and scriptures to read. It wasn’t just me. She never forgot my children either. I looked forward to checking the mail to give them their card and watch them read the little booklets of scriptures. I still have so many I’ve kept for almost 40 years. 
She always sent every grandchild a little ceramic baby shoe with their name and birthday hand painted on it when they were born.
My mother in law Carol followed in her footsteps and has never forgotten to send a birthday card either.  Although the last years she hasn’t been able to send my birthday card I think about it coming in the mail every year.  
She was a brave, and virtuous woman blessed with many peaceful years, never failing to spread the word of God. 
I am blessed to be the mother of two of her great grandchildren, the step mother of one of her great granddaughters, and the grandmother to six of her great, great grandchildren. Her grandson Michael Jr. the father of our two children will always be one of my best friends, and her daughter Carol will always be my favorite mother-in-law.
Rest in Heavenly Peace,
Karen Griffin
