Mr. Roberts and I were members of the same church in Florida. He was a very nice man. I sad that he gone.

I know that, at this terrible time, it seems like the light has gone from your world. Remember, though, that God promises that "joy commeth in the morning." This long night of tragedy will pass - the whole country is praying for you.

My sympathies to the family and they should know his legacy will live on and on and on! God Bless,
