Roberta was my next door neighbor in Newtown for many years. Loved hearing her stories of all the places she lived and people she met. And what a cook she was.
She would often call me as I returned from work and tell me to come over and pick up my dinner. She was a loving and caring person. I shall cherish the memories of the time that I had the privilege to know her. My deepest sympathy to her family and loved ones.
