Dee was just like a dad to me and a grandpa to my children -- he passed the same way my mom (Sharon Robinson) did in July. Times are hard and although things never get easier, know that he's in God's hands and not feeling any pain. If there is anything I can do - even just lend an ear, let me know. All my love -- Kellie Robinson
