Roberta Ann Lerma

They say it is not what you do in life that counts, it's what people remember. You have touched my life in such a deep and heartfelt way. You were a living example of unconditional love, joy, faith, innocence and spirit. You were not only a nurse by trade, but by heart. I am grateful for the time we had to spend together and will move forward cherishing the gifts of wisdom you have left behind. Thank you, not only from me, but from everyone whose life has been touched by your presence.

Roberta's passion for the profession of Nursing was deeply rooted in her love for God. She allowed herself to be an instrument of healing and touched many lives in the process. She poured her love, care and compassion into the patients that were entrusted to her and in turn gained the greatest reward of all, The admiration of her patients. The Nursing profession truly has lost a modern day Florence Nightengale.

Roberta ("My Nurse") you are so, so loved and I miss you deeply....

The profession of nursing as well as Roberta's families lost a star when Roberta passed away.
I pray for her husband and extended family to find the peace and resolution they so desparately need at this time.

It's with heartfelt sorrow that I sign this guestbook. Roberta was my student at CSULA. The profession of nursing has lost a wonderful nurse, with all the qualities of a future scholar. My sympathies and prayers are with the family. I know Roberta will be missed greatly.
