My deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Roberts. I remember coming over to Mrs. Roberts house with my brother, David Grokenberger, to see Colby when I was a little girl and she was always very nice. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as they deal with her loss. Sincerely, Anna Grokenberger.
