To Roberta's nieces and nephews, Please accept our sincere sympathy on this sad occasion. Bert was a wonderful caring person and she will be greatly missed. We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers, as we are in Florida and will not be able to attend the funeral.

I've known Roberta for about a dozen years and always enjoyed our meetings and conversations. She was a fun loving lady who had a lot of spirit and made all around her laugh or enjoy life.
