My Mother was the best. She was loving yet she was strong. She taught us well. She was our spiritual leader with a kind and loving heart. She taught us to work hard in all that we did and to give no excuses and to learn from our mistakes. She wanted us to go forth and earn our place in this world. She taught us to make our homes a welcoming place. She shared and she shared. Like I said she was the best. We as her children were truly blessed. God may she rest in your loving arms. I am so thankful that she was my friend and my mommy. Rose Marie Robinson Young

This one hit hard. Mrs Robinson was a second mother to me and the rest of the Allen kids. I so wish I could travel down to attend the services. The Robinson family was there for us when our parents passed. Peace be with you during this challenging time. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

To the family of Mrs. Robinson, I am sending condolences to you to honor the loss of your mother. Mrs. Robinson was a customer at my mother's hair salon for many years. My siblings and I also attended Baker High School and interacted with some of your siblings in high school. Our prayer and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Precious Memories of a mother will forever linger! Warm Regards, Vickey, Shuron and Roderick Drew

TO MAL'S CHILDREN: I have always admired your mother!! She was my role model of what I wanted to become--a military spouse! She made it look so easy and rewarding!

It was an exciting time whenever your family came to Marianna to visit. Wayne and Robbie would pop in to visit my mom whenever they were next door at Cousin Carrie's house! They were very active little fellas!! Rose, Vera and Ray is a song that was never published! Angela and Lea were the babies that I wanted to be my little sisters!!

I was happy to attend the Surprise Birthday Party a few years ago that you all had for your mother! I was also Blessed to visit her again when I came TDY to Ft Benning later! My best memory of Mal is her voice--after so many years she always sounded the same!

It is a great honor to recognize and remember my Cousin, Malzie Robinson, as my childhood Role Model!! All of you have accomplished great things in life because of her Love and Strengths! Always remember that your Mother LOVED ALL OF YOU DEALY!! Carry her memories in your hearts and Praise God for her. I will!!

Love, Betty Sloan

Robinson Family, words alone can't express the sadness that those close to you are feeling for the passing of your matriarch. May you find comfort in knowing that you have friends, her fellow coworkers and retirees to support you at this time of sadness. Fannie Timite, AAFES FBN-HR Retiree

Fannie Timite

WHERE TO START! It's seems like yesterday that you were sending Raymechia home, and now... the head of the clan has passed. The world is not at peace. That makes your losses all the more difficult. But yours is a strong family, one to be admired. You will pull through. Rose, Angie, Vera, Lea, Robbie, John—our childhoods were linked through Fort Benning, the Atlanta Army Depot. Those memories are dear to me. My heart shares your grief even though we have not stayed close. I remember our mothers together, both assertive, dominating women, gossiping for hours on end, so proud of their children. Your mom was perhaps the last woman standing of her generation of the NCO wives. She lived 27 years longer than my mother! I know you appreciate your good fortune. A sad passing, indeed. ANITA ALLEN
