Roberta was an amazing beautiful person inside and out. I had the pleasure of doing her hair for many years at Jesamondo Salon. We would have so much fun! I looked forward to every appointment. To the family I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful Roberta. Frank and Paula, you are in my thoughts, as I got the pleasure of meeting both of you. My deepest condolences to all of you and yours. Sending prayers and healing thoughts. With all my love, Gretchen Johnson Merrimac, Ma
