If you wanted to know how to be a good Christian and didn’t have a Bible, you could learn just by watching Roberta. Her passing is a great loss to everyone who knew her.
I will miss you, sweet lady with your jokes, smiles and laughter. Our world is a bit more dismal with your passing, but knowing that you are surrounded by the music you loved so much, makes it a bit easier. To your family, I give condolences and will hold them in light.
A beautiful singer with a sweet spirit.
Roberta’s passing was our loss, but certainly heaven’s gain. I am so glad she will no longer suffer with those issues that plagued her physical body. She has no limitations now. I can imagine her voice joining in chorus with angels in heaven. I can hope she has found peace and complete joy.
Roberta was an inspiration.From other people I heard of her health problems but never from her.ALways smiling and sweet.She sang a song at my fathers graveside service,the voice of an angel.Heaven is for people like Roberta.She will be missed.
Roberta, you truly were an inspiration to all of us. We cry for ourselves being left behind but rejoice where you are now. RIP in peace beautiful one.
Roberta was a dear soul. And she had the voice of an angel. My favorite was Ave Maria. I would love to have heard her sing it again.
Heaven is rejoicing with your arrival while we are saddened by your departure. Your loving heart and unbreakable spirit have always been an inspiration to me. My life and those of my children have been blessed by your love and care. May God comfort us all, especially Barbie, Mark, Abby, Amelia, and Elise, and help us to keep your memory and example alive for all those around us.
Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain. God’s choir now has another beautiful voice singing His praises, but her smile and love will be greatly missed here. She was truly a lovely person, a wonderful Christian, and a good friend.
We ALL miss you Roberta….xxoo.
It was an honor to sing in the University Singers Choir back in the late 80’s when Roberta was a soloist. I admired her amazing voice and was saddened by her passing. I pray for her family on this loss.
