I have great memories of Roberta back in high school and then at the city permit & development office. I can remember "that look" she would give me when I wanted something special or just forgiveness. I genuinely liked her and the world has been a little more plain without here these five years since she's been gone.

I'm sorry for your loss. May God give comfort to all of your family.
Alice, you may not remember me, but I'm Brandi Jones', (Brody Middle School) mother. I worked in the Armry with Roberta. She was a fun person to know. Brandi and I wanted you and Gerald to know that you are in our prayers.
