July 16, 2010
What a shock it was to hear of your mother's passing! She was such a sweet dear lady who always greeted me and my family with a smile when we visited with my aunt at Kroontje Health Care Center. May God continue to give you strength ... and just remember, she is only a "heart-beat" away! Your memories of her will always live on in you. God Bless You.

Carmen,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I am truly blessed to have known her for the time that I did. My mother Pat and Peggy Carter spoke highly of her and the times they use to worship with her in & out of church. She was a very blessed woman and loved the Lord with all her heart. I loved visiting with her and talking to her about the Lord and His mercies. Please find comfort knowing that she is with her saviour and no longer has to endure the pain she dealt with here on earth. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers for the days ahead. We love you!

Carson and Carmen,
I am so sorry to hear of Roberta's passing. She was such a fun lady. I will always remember the old days on Round Hill Drive and being able to see your mom all the time. I always thought she was so cool when I was younger. I am sure she and mom are sharing some old tales together now. Your families are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how it feels to loose your mom. It will always hurt but with time will be easier to understand and accept. May God bless and comfort you both now and in the days to come.
Love,
Dana Altizer Partin

I met Roberta at the Willows when my Dad was there from March 25-May 25. I talked to her at least 30 minutes the day my dad moved from the Willows to Showalter. She told me what a nice man my dad (Arnold Shelor) was, and I think she hated to see him leave. After her diagnosis of cancer, I know it was a blessing that she didn't have to endure the additional pain so long. I know you will miss her. My mother died two years ago, and I miss her every day.
She was a beautiful lady.
