Roberta was loved by everyone that she met. She treated everyone like they were a long-lost friend or family member. She had a giving heart and always looked for the best in people. She reflected the influence of Jesus in her life by giving back to everyone in need. She was particularly fond of children's homes and Christian organizations that provide shelter for orphaned or troubled children.
