God bless you, Roberta, as you enter into eternity with our Heavenly Father; may He bring peace to those you have left behind.
......Just where the sky and the ocean meet
and come to mingle with one another. When I hear someone cry out, "She is gone." and I must turn and say to them, "Yes, but gone only from sight." For within the mind and heart she can always be found. For life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing, save the limits of our sight.

I had the great pleasure of working with Roberta for several years at SSA. She was always a bright spot in any day, a most caring and loving soul. She will be missed by all who knew her.
