You changed my life with your presence... and now you've changed my life with your passing. My life isn't the same without you. It hurts so much to lose you anymore... but it felt so great when I found you! Now you're in God's hands... may He bless you with His amazing love. I miss you so much, Bird... it doesn't seem like this will ever get easier... it only gets harder. I LOVE YOU!

She was... She is... She'll always be my Queen!

Birdie, I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me when I was young and a young mother. I knew I could trust you with my baby forever. You never complained and seemed so happy to have him. You once thanked me for letting you have him, but thank YOU, Yamaha! And thank you for loving my son. He loves you so much. He is so hurt over losing you. You will be missed forever!

It's been only a year since I've met you and I wish it had been longer. You were always there to talk to and laugh with me, until this day I still miss you dearly. It still upsets me that you're gone and you won't be there at your house anymore. You were the life of the house and I loved when you shared stories about your family. Your peanut always talks about you, about how you are the closest friend he had. You were much more to me and it breaks my heart knowing I won't see you anymore. Love always <3.

We were blessed to get to know you and enjoyed good times with you. The way you made Robbie feel like family was special. You will be greatly missed.

September 30, 2011

To my mother, Today is two months since you left to be with the lord and Daddy ! We are still in shock ! You never smoked or drank, you should've lived so much longer ! We keep thinking if there was something we could have done to save you. On your Birthday we never thought it was going to be your last !! That you'd be gone in 6 months. Losing you is really sinking in now ! The Holidays are just going to be bad without you ! When we lost Daddy, we had you and God to turn to. And we got thur it some how. But now it's differant ! You never really got over losing Daddy ! I feel so bad for all of us, Kevin, Robert, John, Roberta and myself ! Such a LOST ! You were always there for us !The house is so empty and quit ! You loved us all and it showed ! We pray that you and Daddy are together with nannie and so many other . Losing you is like a nitemare that never goes away ! We miss you so much it can't be put into words ! You did not want to go and we didn't either but it was in God's hands. We love you forever and always will ! Thank you so much Mom for Loving us the way you did !
Thank God for Blessing us with you and Daddy !
Love always your son Brother !

Birdie,
You truly were the Greatest Woman in the World! I loved you, your family, your love story, and your childhood in the Bronx... But I love our FRIENDSHIP the most of all. No will can ever fill your place in my life... nor do I want anyone to. There was only one Roberta Ann Bottcher Arcieri... I was the luckiest kid in the world to have been in her life! You were the greatest mentor a person could have! I miss your laughter... your sarcasm... and Larger-Than-Life personality. Foxwoods sucks without you. Even the onion rings/french fries with the hot cheese sauce we loved so much don't taste the same without you. Nothing is as good without you! My heart is deeply pained by your passing. As you told me in your good bye letter... "See ya in the stars" But not too soon, ok? I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! XOXOXOXO

Forever lost without you,
Baby Tony

Birdie,
I only knew you for about 4 years but I feel like I knew you forever. You are a very special woman to me. We had so many good times together all over the place, from Vegas to Atlantic City to Foxwoods to bingos all over the place. You made me feel like I was part of your family. You hold a very special piece of my heart and I will never forget all the good times we had together and I too wish I could of got to know you a lot sooner than I did. I love you very very much Bird and I think about you everyday. Love you!

I am so sad to know that you’re no longer with us and grateful that I got to see you before you were gone. Thank you for making me feel like family all these years and for all the wonderful memories I will forever hold in my heart. I truly feel honored to have met you and Johnny. You guys were the definition of soul mates and true love. Now you’re together forever watching over us all. I will always miss you.

Twenty years ago we met

The wonderful grandmother I will never forget

Too many memories we shared

Always showing that you cared

The house across the street my home away from home

Sometimes my safety dome

The woman who taught us to love

Now flying away like a beautiful white dove

Your gentle giant now has his bride

You were always his love and pride

Swimming in your pool out back

Always having a story that’s a fact

Riding your scooter all over the place

Always with a smile on your face

Never caring who had what to say

Taking life day by day

A loving mother , grandma, bride, and friend

Showing us your love till the very end

You will be missed by many this is true

Thought of in the many things we will do

You are gone but forgotten never

We will love you always and forever

We try hard not to cry

But I guess this is our final goodbye

.

Dear Ms Roberta

My heart is heavy upon hearing of your passing on the very day I was coming to visit you when I was in NJ...

I was so honored when your daughter came to see me the friday nite before you passed.. I hope I didn't keep her from you when you needed her....

You could not have had a more devoted son than Bobby or more devoted daughter than my Sweet Bertie..

I didn't know you well, but I enjoyed the short time we had last summer at Seaside Park when I spent time with you & Bobby reminiscing...

You have raised 2 wonderful human beings and I hope you know how great you did!!

They love you so much and I am sure they are heartbroken you are gone... Heaven has 1 more lovely Angel and you are with your love!!!

I hope someday we met agin if I make it to Heaven and can meet him!!!
I know you are not in pain anymore and I hope that comforts your family some!!!

You leave behind a wonderful family Legacy in your kids & grandkids and all the famiglia!!!
I am sorry I had already left and was not able to attend your funeral and be there for my dear friends Bobby and my Sweet Bertie...Just know I was there in spirit!!!

You will always be in their hearts and I KNOW you will always be watching over your family!!

Rest easy... Great Lady & her Love

Ringwood has lost a lovely soul.... You will be forever loved & missed

I am always here for you Bobby & My Sweet Bertie

God Bless you

Edge wood will never be the same without you. and to the rest of the family I am truly sorry for the loss of this great women in your life. she will be in our hearts forever. just remember when the wind blows a little harder or the sun seems extra worm in the day even when strange little things happen just try to think thats Berta checking up on all of you.

I am really saddened to hear of Berti's passing. I have such fond memories of Berti, John, Roberta & Brother. I use to live near your home in the sixties. Even though it has been such a long time since I have seen everyone my memories will always remain the same, great memories with great people.

Dear Roberta,
I ask the Good Lord to look at the good you had done throughout your life, and open the Gates of Paradise to you.
You are now with your beloved husband, Johnny and other family members who left this life earlier.
Rest in peace my beloved sister in law.

Birdie-I cant believe you are gone! I will never forget all our fun memories and countless breakfast dates. I know you are in a happy place with Johnny now. That gives me lots of comfort. You always listened to me about life and relationships. It really helped me get through the rough times. Thank you for all the good times we shared and I will always hold them dear to my heart. My prayers and sincere thoughts to your family.
