To the Roberts family,

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Roberts' passing. Kit as you know Dr. Roberts was a former co-worker at DeKalb County Health Dept. (Stn. Mtn) where the patients and staff respected and cared deeply for him. He was also a family friend, as well as our dentist. Please know that our prayers are with you all and may God continue to bless each of you and keep you in his care. He was truly highly respected and loved by us.
