My condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of Lil being at my house when I was growing up In Borden-Carleton. She was a wonderful friend to my parents, Art and Kay Paynter. Dad passed away in 1999 and Mom in 2018. There was always lots of laughter and teasing. Lil was a wonderful, kind ,fun person and I’m sure they’re enjoying a great reunion up above!
My condolences to the family. When I think of Lil Robinson; a smile comes to my face and happy memories of my childhood. She was a lady who could light up a room and if your were down in the dumps; she could make you see the lighter side of life. Her house was always open to her children’s friends. Many hours were spent in her porch/sunroom with Susan and the gang watching the traffic from the ferries go by. May old friends and love ones be watching over you Lil. Thank you for the memories.
So sorry Lil was our next door neighbor for many years.
Great family our sympathy to all.
Our deepest condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one.
