It is with deep sorrow that we inform you of the death of a beloved friend and SWJA member Ms. Kris Robinson, "the mother of our student Dallas Robinson. Our condolences to Jeff, the boys, and the entire family.
Here is a text from Jeff:
"Hello. Jeff Robinson here. My beautiful Kristine left this earth at 1:38 am this morning. She was at home, surrounded by me and many of our children when she took her last breath. I can tell you that her brave battle through the pain of this terrible disease was incredibly inspirational. Her daughter, Danielle was here and has been a blessing for the boys and me. She loved you so much. We will forward information regarding a memorial page and services as soon as they are set. Sending a huge Krissy smile hug. ❤️"
