The Rose Still Grows...
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
budded and blossomed in God’s free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength,
with never a thought of fear or pride.
It followed the light through the crevice’s length,
and unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
were found the same as thy were before:
And it lost itself in beauties new,
breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
and make our courage faint or fail?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive:
the rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will for evermore.
The poetry of A.L. Frink
Obituary
by her Daughter, Danae Falvo (née Robertson)
Dolores “Dee” Robertson passed from this life and into the loving arms of her Lord, surrounded by her family on March 12th, 2021.
Dee was born in Austin on July 5, 1944 to Gladys and Tim Golden. This past year, she celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary with Duncan J. Robertson Jr.
Dee and Duncan raised five children together and were blessed with eight grandchildren. Dee enjoyed many roles in life: Wife, Mother, Grandmother, homemaker, pastor’s wife, and bank teller. Throughout it all, Dee selflessly served others.
First and foremost, she served her Savior, Jesus Christ. Her last days on her earthly home were spent witnessing to others. Second only to God, was her family. As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, she was an irreplaceable treasure. Dee’s greatest joy was sharing her love of Jesus to the world, but equally important was bringing joy into people’s lives with her love and laughter. Her laugh was infectious, and no one was immune. She always had a joke ready to tell and enjoyed seeing smiles, hearing laughs, and experiencing joy through happiness she created for others. With that in mind, please enjoy one last Joke of the Day from Dee:
What did one hat say to another?
“You stay here, I’ll go on a head.”
You “go on ahead” to the Pearly Gates, Dee. Save a place for us.
Dee is survived by her husband, Duncan Robertson Jr; her children and their spouses, Duncan J. Robertson III, David & Tanya Robertson, Duane Robertson, Damien Robertson, and Danae & Kevin Falvo; her grandchildren, Nicholas, Ashlie, Caroline, Preston, Leila, Corbin, Skylar, and Walker; and her brother Dwayne Golden.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, James.
