"To The Cline/ Roberson Family: It is with great sadness that I just read that Kathy had gone home to be with the Lord. She was truely a very special person. In High School she stood out as a person with many friends. She was our Homecoming Queen and she will always be remembered for her great smile and personality..." Gary Harbison

Geraldine, Glen,Promise and Mitch, my prayers are with you as you begin a new journey in your lives. Kathy shared her cancer journey with so many and it was such an inspiration to me. I told her often how she influenced me everyday. I attended High School with Kathy and she was such a sweet and beautiful lady. Heaven is a much brighter place with Kathy there and she is free from her pain. The days ahead will be hard but I know that Kathy would want you to press on and be a witness for Christ. As I followed her journey she was always giving God praise and trying to win lost souls to the Lord. Hold her love and wonderful memories in your hearts and you will never be without her. God Bless you all!
Love,

To The Cline-Roberson Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was a classmate of Kathy's at Morganton Jr. High and Morganton High Schools. I only knew Kathy for a short time and during that time, Kathy was one of the nicest people that I got to know while in school.
May God surround you with comfort and peace during this time, as you celebrate Kathy's life.
God Bless You,
1971 Class Member

Glen, Promise, and Mitch,
I cannot tell you the spiritual lift I received from Kathy and especially during her journey with cancer. I have to reiterate what Judy Clauss said about knowing her in Rocky Mount in the 1980s through Christian Women's Club, Pregnancy Care Center, and Covenant Christian School. Discovering "your season" was the "in" thing to do with Beauty Control and we had a blast with it. Promise, your mom decked you out in a beautiful Easter dress that I smocked for you one year. And Mitch, I remember when you came home to Kathy, Glen, and Promise. What joy you two children brought your mother! I will miss her beautiful way with words and her beautiful smile. Just know there are so many down in Rocky Mount remembering you today. And many who will continue to lift you up to the Lord!

To Ms. Roberson's family we are sorry for your loss as my son only recently came to know Ms. Roberson in the MDA office. She was always so very sweet to my son and took him to her office and to visit the various staff there. She will be greatly missed with the MDA and I know she will be missed by her family. She showed a great deal of courage and never complained always putting others first.
Our condolences from the Besser Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and the days ahead. I got to know your beautiful Kathy through my CB page; She has touched so many of our lives and she will truly be missed. Hold on to those beautiful memories in your hearts because love never dies. She was so proud of all of you and loved each one of you so much.

With deepest sympathy to Glen, Promise and Mitch. Kathy and I had reconnected on FB after almost 40 years since hs graduation. She was as beautiful as she was in high school and was loved by all. In the few chats that we had, she spoke of her love and pride in all of you and her precious "Little Bit".May your love and all your great memories carry you in the months and years to come. With love to all of you.

Glen, Promise and Mitch and family, I can only attest to Kathy's love for all of you and especially for her Lord and Savior. Our friendship began in the 80s in Rocky Mount, NC before the Lord brought Promise and Mitch into your family. I remember her dedication to the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Rocky Mount, NC and for the ministry which we shared as speakers for Christian Women's Club. I'm continuing to pray that you will know the comfort and love of God in an experiential way during these sad days. It's so reassuring to know that Kathy is in His presence, seeing Him face to face.

I am sad to learn of Kathy's death. I know she was loved by the many kind words spoken on her behalf. I knew Kathy through her mother, Geraldine, and mostly while she was a teenager. Geraldine loved Kathy so much and always kept me informed about what she was doing. I know she will be missed by all the ones that loved her. I know you have many wonderful memories to carry you through.

Dear Family,
Please know that Kathy was very important to us! She would give my kids "camel kisses" and show them so much love and attention. She was an amazing woman. God wanted her to be with him and she was finally ready to let us go to do that. All of us campers at the MDA camp will miss her very much!

Kathy was a wonderful lady. I enjoyed knowing her as Promise's mother and I appreciated her great love for her family and her desire to serve God.
May each of you, Glen, Promise, and Mitch, know God's special peace and comfort. And, Promise, remember what your mother taught you as you bring up your daughter. Kathy left you a true legacy of love and grace.
