Roberta will be deeply missed. She was a wonderful woman whom I truly enjoyed working with. She was typically the first person to greet me in the morning. Whether it was a “challenge” we had to start the day or just a friendly hello, I always enjoyed talking with her.
My deepest sympathies for your loss

I worked with Roberta for many years at Forest City. She knew her job well and had a wonderful personality. I am glad our paths crossed and I will miss her and her wicked sense of humor. My condolences to her family and I will remember you in my prayers.

I had the esteemed pleasure of working with Roberta at FCE for ten years. My condolences to her family. I am at a loss for words, but I offer the following:
I Needed the Quiet
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside
Into the shadows where we could confide,
Away from the bustle where all the day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.
I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled,
But gently, so gently my cross He upheld,
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things,
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never heard of when active and gay,
He loved me so greatly He drew me away.
I needed the quiet, no prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead –
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.
