Dear Bobbi Sue and family - Please accept my condolences for your tremendous loss. Your mom figured highly in the life of our family. Her sense of humor, competence, kindness, firmness, dedication, compassion and creativity were all tremendous assets and characteristics we all appreciated. My dad respected and valued Roberta greatly, and mom was always grateful that dad had such a reliable and capable colleague. Roberta was an essential part of Dad's practice, and I was blessed during the summers I worked there to get to know her better.
