My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today. We wanted to offer some reflections on her remarkable life: https://t.co/F7T6q625PC

When Mrs. Robinson moved into The White House, she was doing what most Black grandmamas do: whatever it takes to help the family. And yet, there was something incredibly special about seeing her there.

May Mrs. Marian Robinson rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing.

May you rest in peace the remarkable Marian Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Robinson had a commanding presence and shining light in the White House while President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were in office. While gentle and low-profile, she was a giant in spirit, force, class and elegance. Cookie and I were blessed with the honor of meeting and speaking with her at the White House several times over the past few years. She was kind and smart and you could tell she was incredibly proud of her children Craig Robinson, Michelle, her in-laws, as well as her grandchildren. Cookie and I send our thoughts and prayers to Craig and Michelle, the entire Robinson and Obama families, friends, and all of her loved ones. She will be missed!
