Amongst all the beautiful and true comments about Roma, I also reflect on her human side, loving dark chocolate and dangling earrings. Every time I eat do chocolate and extra spicy food I think of her.

Roma was and still is a beautiful lady that had touched my heart and so many others. Roma had a beautiful spirit and enjoyed being around all her friends. I thought highly of her and will miss visiting with her.
God bless

Roma was a dear friend to all who had the pleasure of meeting her. She mentored me during my years at South Junior High and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Her dear husband Ralph was her constant companion and the love of her life. Her three daughters were always cherished and adored by Roma. She helped countless people and was kind to everyone she met. I will miss her sweet smile & the fun times I shared with her.
