Missing you always Mom. I think of you daily. It seems everything reminds me of you. The spring flowers, the fall leaves, the winter snow. Cameron, your eldest grandson just graduated from high school. You have a great granddaughter, Emma, who is a year old and looks like her Aunt Wendy. You will always be my hero. I still need and want to talk to you so badly about so many things. I cherish every moment we had together. We are not quite the “whole” family without you, but we are all so full of beautiful memories of you.

Mom, her we are, Jan.11 2018. Time keeps going by, but missing you seems to be just as heart wrenching. We all had beautiful Christmas trees this year and will always because of your beautiful ornaments and all the special times we enjoyed with you. Thank you so much. I love getting them on the tree and having all those beautiful memories. I pray you always knew what wonder gifts, advice, support and never ending love you left me with. I think of you everyday, always, in my home are so many reminders of things we have shopped for, reminders of all the good shopping trips we had. The funny things we shared.
I love you Mom, you are the very best of all I know.9jqbF

Mom, how can I tell you how much I miss you. If it is supposed to get easier; when? You have a new granddaughter and she is beautiful. Cameron and Carter are growing up at an alarming rate, which is what we all want, but bittersweet. They both are remarkable young men. You would be very proud. I hope you have found peace. You are so loved, cherished and missed. My life will never be the same without my Mom and friend. You are the best.
Love you always, Bobbie

Roberta helped raise me at Moms store and was a very special person. I was unaware of her passing until this week and mothers passing. I am sure they (Roberta and Mom) are having a celebration this week together.

What a great lady. She was always professional and did more than her job called for. My heart is saddened with her passing. Sherry please know that I am thinking of you and your family and will have you in my prayers today. There have been so many times that I have thought of the days at Almond School. Ms. Powell gave me a shamrock over 30 years ago; I still have it today. A great reminder of someone so dear to my heart.

Sweet Roberta. What a marvelous example she was to all of us at Almond School. She was efficient and organized and meticulous at her job. But, she was also compassionate and caring. Many times I saw her clean and dress sores and wounds on the kids, treating them as she would her own. Or she would see that a child that needed something got the help they needed from somewhere. She always had a gentle word of advice for us as teachers and as parents. And she taught me many life lessons, much about how to balance everything in life and how to maintain a positive spirit all the while. She was always such a lady and a friend who I held in very high regard. Rest in peace, Ms. Roberta.
