Not sure what to say?

Tracy,Chris and Tim, Your Mother was always the life of the party, never Judgmental, and true to her family and friends. I have so many fond memories of nights at The Palm, Prime Rib and Garys. So sorry she has left us. Cynthia Turner

Roberta was a great friend for many years. We worked together in the 70's and we stayed in touch often. She will be missed by so many. "You go girl"! Mike Lupfer

We have lived next door to the Adams for over 50 years. The thing that will forever be missed is Mrs. Adams' hauntingly beautiful, holiday table settings. (Before you think that we are extremely nosy, the view into her dining room was unavoidable from our yard.) She had an humor that left me, two times to be exact, asking: "Did she just say that, no...there's no way..." only to learn that, yes...she did. As she walked away, she looked back making sure I caught on to her devilish...

Tracy I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mom. I know how close you two were. From what I remember you saying about Roberta, she was bigger than life and loved by everyone that knew her. I know how hard it was to say goodbye to your dad, but it won't compare to losing your mother. There is nobody in our lives like our mother. She'll always be there for you and you'll see things come your way, that only would be from her. My mom still sends me little reminders of her almost 20 years...

The friendship between Red and I dates back to high school. We were certainly a pair!! One of my very favorite people and she will always be in my thoughts until we meet again.

Roberta was the best. We worked together and played together. She will be missed

Aunt Roberta is the best! I was remembering the last time I drove a truck, I parked it in Richmond, rented a car and drove to see her on New Years eve. We were up drinking, smoking and talking until the wee hours. We had so much fun. She will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to the rest of the family at this time.
