Roberta Jayne

Thank you for sharing your lovely "Birdie" with us. I'm so grateful you found Helping Fathers Heal helpful. Stick with us. We heal in community.

From my 15th birthday, who was made amazing by my one true friend. Roberta.

I had the pleasure of meeting Roberta during an acting class we had together in 2024. She was always so fun and a talented actor.

I wasn't on her team, but we also did Battle of the Books together. She was so smart and knew the answers to many of the questions. Roberta sat next to me in math class and we talked about one of the books that we both really enjoyed.

Roberta was truly a ray of sunshine. She was so happy with a beautiful smile and was a pleasure to be around. Prayers for her family May she rest in peace

I had the pleasure of meeting Roberta a few months ago when we were both hired at Krispy Kreme. She truly was a ray of sunshine and talked a mile a minute. She treated every customer with absolute positivity even the ones who weren't the nicest. I will deeply miss the talks we had when working and the light she showed through her actions, attitude, and smile. Prayers and thoughts to her and her family. May she rest in peace

I met Roberta in 5th grade, I had just moved to Idaho and didn´t have any friends at school, she welcomed me with open arms and a bright smile, with time we grew very close, she was the first best friend I had ever made here. We shared friendship necklaces with our friend Katrina, and ate lunch together every day. I remember we shared a love for mermaids and roller skating, we would play mermaids at my apartment pool and we would pretend we were derby girls at recess. We did girls on the run together, it was a long walk to get there from our elementary school, I would often get discouraged but she never failed to motivate me to keep going. I will never forget the sleepovers we had, we would often get caught being up in the middle of the night because we couldn´t stop laughing together. Roberta never made me feel judged, she loved me for me, and that is what was so special about her. We remained friends throughout middle school, she was always trying out new fashion ideas. To this day she has inspired me to be myself. I remember that´s what she lived by. In high school she never hesitated to share her notes when I missed school. I am honored to have shared one last hug with her at the sweethearts dance this year, she came up to me with a bright smile, complimented my hair and outfit, and gave be a big hug and told me she missed me. She has made an impact on so many peoples lives, I´m am so grateful to have known her. Our memory´s stay alive in my heart. I will always miss you Roberta

I had the privilege of meeting Roberta in October 2024 when she joined the small group of 11th grade high schoolers that I led at Rock Harbor. We had a lot of new students come during this time, but Roberta´s smile and wisdom immediately stood out the first time I met her. She truly didn´t seem to know any strangers! The first time she joined our group, I was amazed and captivated by her bravery to open up and share openly about her faith in the Lord to so many girls. She was an encourager and truly stood so firm in her faith, but always had a desire to learn more and grow deeper in Him. The last time I saw Roberta, she was sharing a recent struggle she had overcome, and after being so courageous in sharing this news, she just had the biggest smile on her face. I was so proud of her bravery. This moment is always what I will think of when I think of Roberta. She was wise beyond her years, filled with joy, and knew who she was in Jesus. I will miss her deeply. -Kylie Lambeth

Our sincerest condolences. Your family is in our thoughts and hearts at this time.

This is me and Roberta at our first homecoming in freshman year of high school. I´m so happy for all the memories we made together. She was so full of light. I remember for awhile I would go to spin classes with Ro and I would have so much fun, even though I would have never even thought to sign up unless she had asked me to go with her. Some of my favorite music was stuff Roberta told me to listen to. She was so passionate and thoughtful I would listen to her talk for hours about whatever was on her mind that day. Some of my favorite memories are of the times me and Roberta went to the school dances together. I know if no one else wanted to dance with me, Roberta would. We would have so much fun screaming the lyrics to Taylor Swift songs. My deepest condolences to Roberta´s friends and family. I´m praying for comfort during this time.

Prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Jayne family. Even though I never met Roberta "Birdie", the wonderful tribute to her makes me feel as if I knew this warm, vibrant, exceptional young lady. Her spirit and her example left a deep impression on me.

Roberta is missed daily in the library. She truly did brighten a room with her presence and conversation! I loved chatting random things with her from books to music to scouting to family to food! She was exceptional and loved

Sending love

Ro and I the day after she got her driver´s license. Missing you more and more everyday.

I had the honor of completing the Rayado trek with Birdie this past summer, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. She was a fantastic hiker and could accomplish any challenge at hand. She would often sing on the trail or make silly jokes, uplifting everyone's mood. Overall Birdie was a beautiful, kind, and positive soul, the impact she had on me was lifechanging. I am keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers.

Rise in Power and Sing on in Glory, Sweet Birdie!
Love, Prayers, Hugs and all those meaningful Affirmations we (All privileged to be touched by Roberta) extend back to All of the Jayne family and each other in her and her Savior's name!

I first met Ro in 7th grade stagecraft class. She immediately became someone who brightened up my day every time I came to class. We had the best conversations and it was a pleasure to become one of her friends. As we entered high school, we drifted apart a bit as our friend group was growing and changing, however Ro was always there in the mornings to talk to and spread her positivity. Even after I moved to Washington, we would comment on each other´s social media posts. She was such a beautiful soul and my heart goes out to her family. Love and prayers to you all.

Sending so many hugs.

To Roberta´s loved ones- I´m deeply sorry for your profound loss. I knew here only because she came often to pick her little brother from kindergarten. She was always sweet and cheerful when she crossed at my crosswalk.
So glad for this brief encounter- She and brothers have truly enriched me with their kindness and sweet spirit.
God Bless all,
Miss Claudie

I was a very good friend of Regina's in middle school, I met her family/siblings and they were always the nicest people ever. I am so sorry to hear about this happening.

Take care

We are sending our love from Germany and wish to express our condolences. Our daughter has the fondest memories of Roberta, who was a dear friend to her when they attended High School together last year. No ocean could keep them from staying in touch, even after our daughter moved back to Germany. Together they skipped their last day of school last summer just to play music and sing. She was a very sweet friend and will be dearly missed.

I´ve gone to school with Roberta since 6th grade. She radiated love and kindness, I don´t think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. Roberta was truly a walking ray of sunshine- she will never be forgotten

Our sincere condolences and prayers for the Jayne family. May all your memories be happy ones.

I wish I had the pleasuring of knowing 'Birdie' - I truly missed out on this incredible young lady. To honor her, I am going to embrace life with more joy and enthusiasm just as she did.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Keeping the entire Jayne family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You have a beautiful angel looking over you. The next roller coaster I ride I will be thinking about Roberta.

Reggie, really thinking about you and your family and want you to know we are praying for you all.

My heart is so full knowing I had a small peace of heaven in my life! Roberta was one of my favorite riders at CycleBar. Her first ride with me was, you guessed it, a Taylor Swift Ride, and we quickly connected over her name (I was supposed to be named Roberta) and high school. I have two sons right around her age. She was always the biggest light in the room and gave the greatest hugs. I admired her confidence and maturity; she had an old soul that resonated with me.
Roberta, you will be greatly missed. Our Cyclebar Village Meridian will forever hold your memories in our hearts. You´ve left an impression on all of us
