CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN MRS. VIOLA ROBINSON
WHEREAS, on Monday, February 19, 2018, we stand in unison to share our heartfelt thoughts about this amazing woman of faith, Mrs. Viola Robinson; who was also known as my constituent and a long-term resident of the 21st Ward. Mrs. Robinson was called home to be with the Great I AM on Sunday, February 11,2018, "Come my daughter, I have prepared a place specifically for thee, a mansion the size of an acre." Tears began to fall from her eyes and immediately her soul connected with Jesus. Shortly thereafter, her husband Mr. Porter Robinson, Sr. and son, Wendell who both preceded her in death stood by Heaven's Gate with open arms started shouting, "Welcome Home!"
WHEREAS, the scripture states, "My sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not follow," Mrs. Viola Robinson ears were attentive to the Lord's voice. Her life exemplified a woman that believed in the promises of God no matter the day or the hour and she purposely stayed in prayer to prevent the pressures of life from tainting her relationship with the Lord; and
WHEREAS, I know without a shadow of doubt that everyone sitting in this Sanctuary can attest to the love they felt from Mrs. Robinson as she spent hours at a time talking about the Lord's grace and mercy; maybe sharing one of her recipes to replicate several of her delectable meals and then there were times when she shared the essential reason a person should always aim to be of good character and integrity even when others fail to do so. I will always remember, Mrs. Viola Robinson as very classy woman with a heart like a well-cut flawless diamond; and
WHEREAS, we cried often for the life of Mrs. Viola Robinson we know that one day will shall see her again. So from this day forward, let us hold every word of wisdom she shared with us near to our hearts. It is my prayer that in this evil and cruel world we live in we will show all mankind the same type of love our Father in Heaven allowed us to experience from Mrs. Viola Robinson; and
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and members of the City Countij^jhe£jt^ of Chicago, will meet on the 28th Day of February, 2018, A.D., to express^j^ir Sfacjpr^ ^fj condolences and extend to Mrs. Viola Robinson's family and friends their continued
prayeis;and L0:6HV 92833 8102
