My deepest sympathy to the family of Roberta. We were in the same class at RF High School. I started my sophomore year and Roberta was one of the first people who talked to me. I never forgot that. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Roberta was a wonderful coworker. We usually had lunch together and complained that that was the fastest half hour of the day. She is missed by many at MCH.

I worked with Roberta at Total Line for many years. Every once in a while I was lucky and ran into her while shopping and we did a quick catch up on life. I was very sadden to see Roberta passed and would like to give my condolences to Dave, Carrie and Christi. We lost a great lady.

I also worked at MCH with Roberta. We shared many laughs. Even though she did not smoke, she always took a smoke break with me...even in the cold months. Often she would come and find me for our breaks. So sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained a perfect angel! RIP my friend.

Roberta was a kind, thoughtful woman. Extremely smart. Very caring and tenderhearted. She was so obvious in the love she had for her family. I will miss her laughter and her wisdom. RIP Roberta. I miss you and I love you.

I met Roberta several years ago when I became involved with the Hospital Auxiliary serving as treasurer. Roberta was always ready to research, answer my questions, or help me in any way she could. She was definitely my "go to" person. I was so sorry to hear of her health issues when she no longer was at work. My sincere sympathy to you in this time of sorrow.

Roberta was such a wonderful coworker. She was a more valuable part of the MCH team than she ever knew. She had a very warm and inviting way of treating her coworkers. I loved seeing her smile every morning and I will always miss her. My sincerest sympathies to all of her family, but especially Dave and Carrie.
