We will all miss her greatly. I will especially miss the way she loved her family and going fishing! She was quite a woman and I will always remember her.

I am so grateful to Grandma Roberts for being such a kind, loving, and faithful woman. She leaves behind a family of six beautiful daughters and numerous grandchildren and great-grands who are so blessed to have had her as our grandmother. She loved God and showed us all how to love and live for Him. "Well done good and faithful servant."
We love you, Grandma.
