Personal note from The Robinson, Kelly, Watson & Colding Families

Dear Family & Friends:

The grief of losing a loved one is often compounded by the shock of unexpected expenses. My brother, David Leroy Robinson, did not have life insurance; or a savings designed to cover funeral home expenses. In light of this reality, it is with great humility & love that we are appealing to you at this time. Our family is respectfully asking for donations to offset funeral costs. David was a father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, and my Mother's first born Son. When she learned of the pending financial stresses & needs, she responded affirmatively, "I will help"! "...My son won't be going out, any ole kind of way". Sharing the same conviction as our Mother, combined with the dedication of our extended families' efforts; we are hopeful that we will have an honorable celebration, for a kindhearted, gentle soldier. Your help will not go unnoticed, or without a return. When you give, I pray that you experience God's love in ways unimaginable! "God loves a cheerful giver." II Corinthians 2:7

Sincere thanks to you in advance, for your time, consideration & commitment ~ Kimberly Ann C. (on behalf of our families & David)
