What a shock to read about Roberta. I went to St. Stephens school with her and even her dad was one of my dad's best friends. I remember Roberta being just a doll, always smiling, was musically talented and she even wrote the 8th grade graduation song to the MASH theme which was one of her favorite programs back in 1973.
Even though I lost touch with her after grade school, she was one classmate who stood out.
I will be praying for her family and may the Holy Spirit comfort those who knew and loved her.
Blessings,
