Roberta Heber Obituary
Roberta Bernstein Heber could appear to be all business, but those close to her knew that she was a soft touch, the kind of person who briskly went down her "to do" list but had smiles and hugs to spare at the end of the day.
Ms. Heber was an assistant vice president and a systems analyst at Marsh & McLennan. Her two daughters and son were proud that the mother who stayed at home with them when they were growing up went back to school at night for a master's degree in computer science, and a second career.
"That was very brave of her," said Melissa Bernstein. "We used to say to her, 'We should get some of your salary because we trained you by letting you boss us around.' "
"She was really impressive, actually," Ms. Bernstein said.

You should be enjoying your retirement, playing with your grandchildren, walking your dog, lunching with friends, traveling the world. Remembering you with honor and a commitment to be kinder.

I walked up the stairs here in downtown Phoenix Az at the Chase Tower in memory and respect for you. We picked a paper with different victims and I picked you. Bless you and prayers. RIP

It was a great honor knowing Roberta years before this tragic event took place. Her sense of humor and smile will always be with everyone that ever met her. She will always be missed and in my memory.

Melissa, I never stop thinking about you and your mom; how I survived and she did not never leaves my mind. If it is not too painful for you, let's get in touch.
Love always, Sharon

it does not seem possible that six months have passed since 9/11. i still find it hard to believe, as i'm sure you do too, that all this really happened. Just know that your family is in my thoughts today and every day. love, beth

Six months is not enough time, of that I am sure. Even with any passing six months is not enough.
I work with Jack at Hoffman. You can tell he has good days and bad.
My heart goes out to Roberta's entire family and all the victims of that awful day.It can never be forgotten, not in six months, six years , six decades. Never!

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
