Chris - Your mother was the definition of devotion...she always made sure your grandad came to the Ball family reunion - even when her health was challenged. My sympathies to you, Butch and the extended Ball family.

To the Ball Family
Roberta was a very special and one of a kind individual. Her love and caring for animals that needed help and a home was one of her greatest gifts. She even sent a homeless kitty home with me once. She was one of the most kind hearted persons that I have had the pleasure of knowing and working for.
May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.
