Roberta Arre

I soooo miss Roberta and our coffee get togethers. She was a dear friend that often stopped by when she was in the neighborhood. It's hard to believe it's been a year since her passing. I still have her phone number in my directory on my phone. I just can't bring myself to delete it. Roberta was a true blessing on this earth.

Roberta was easy to love, easy to be friends with, and so personable and polite to everyone. No matter how long we went without contacting each other, she was the kind of friend who didn't make you feel guilty for being busy. She was a part of my childhood that I will dearly miss, and I am thanking God for how long I got to have her in my life. I was blessed to have known her. She is gone too soon. I will see you again, my friend. You are dancing with the angels and the loved ones that went...

Was it fate that I answered an ad Roberta placed in the Spokesman Review about 47 years ago? I hardly think so. I believe God had something to do with bringing our friendship into fruition. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to babysit one month old Jennifer until I decided to go back to school and get my teaching degree.

All the great times and fun in Otis Orchards. We could not have asked for better neighbors. And her Pumpkin Roll? Always such a treat to receive one.

I am grieving the loss of Roberta. I have so many memories of her and I at the cabin. Her and I with our kids...prayers to all of you! She loved life!

Bert was definitely a Wonder Woman! Meeting at a yoga class we immediately knew we would be friends. Bert showed by example how to be a caring friend and to live each day with wonder. Our walks, yard sales, phone calls, house visits, yoga classes ( goats), texts, Gonzaga games, Tubbs Hill, photos, and I am sure I have missed way more. That smile and enthusiasm... Hugs to Jess, Jen and Roger

Roger and family, I am so deeply saddened to hear the news of Roberta´s passing. She was truly a loving and kind person. Sending love and prayers to your entire family.
