Second Career
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.
As I visit the memorial today 23 years have passed since that tragedy. I honour you and your family. You should be spending time with your grandchildren and enjoying your life. God bless you and your family.

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

I am a wounded veteran riding with a group called Ride 2 Recovery. We are riding from Boston to West point and I was given ribbon with your name. It is a privilege to ride in your honor.
