Oh, Roberta was such a wonderful lady. We loved stopping by your house unannounced and were always treated so graciously. She raised loving, responsible, fun kids and you will always remember her bright smile. The world is a bit sadder today. Lovingly, Linda, Dave, Chris, Chelle and Mindy

Melanie, Terry. and Family,
My sincere condolences to all of your family. Bert was a fun addition to Primrose and my mom enjoyed many conversations with her. I also got to know her a little better during my visits to Primrose and enjoyed her a lot!
