A message from Diana Ryrholm-Geerdes on March 12, 2009:

The Black Camel came early this morning and took my dear friend Keitha's father, Robbie Robbins. Many of you know that Robbie had been ill for quite some time and spent his last year living in a veteran's home. Keitha has been her father's care giver for several years. For the past week she was constantly at his bedside. She is at peace with his passing as Robbie is now with his beloved wife, Fran - he had a smile on his face just before he died.

I am greatly saddened by Mr. Robbins passing (as I was many years ago when Mrs. Robbins passed away). I spent countless wonderful days and nights in their household in Ras Tanura. I was blessed with being considered a member of the family. Not only was I very fortunate to have Keitha as a friend, I was very lucky to have both her parents in my life - guiding, loving, and nurturing me through childhood years.

Keitha is attending to funeral arrangements. For details, visit Johnson Funeral Home.

    ...I think I have the hang of this now...
    I recall so clearly, the memories of Keitha and her parents in their home there in Ras Tanura.Everyone felt so welcomed in their presents. As I think back over the years and the countless people that have streamed through my life, very few, are marked with such fond memories.
