I have many pleasant memories of Aunt Roberta. She was a big influence in my child hood. She came out to our farm often and I visited her in Madison. We enjoyed going for walks around the lakes. and going to see where she worked at the Conference office. She was my role model. I became an executive secretary and shared her love of shorthand. My last visit with her was April, 2015 when my sister, Bonnie Lee and brother, Dan Patton all visited her and took her out to eat. We looked at family photos together and she knew the names of those we couldn't identify. She was in good health right up to the day she fell and they took her to the hospital. I will miss our phone calls when we talked for hours. She is resting in peace now until Jesus comes. by Sharon Patton-Marsh-Johnson.
