I am very sorry for the loss of Ms. Roberta, one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever known. I fondly remember stopping by her house to say "Hello" when I visited my "Mama Louise." Ms. Roberta always greeted my sisters and me with a warm smile.

To Mrs. Joyce, Diane and the Entire Family:
Mrs. Roberta was a sweetheart of a woman! For all my life, since I was a child at Providence, she ALWAYS wore the same smile on her face and had a quiet yet strong prescence. May God bless and keep each and everyone of you. And may He give you peace during those moments as you reflect upon her in the days, months and years to come. Lots of Love...
