Did not know Her but from reading by those e who did, She must have been one of those who you would never forget because of the Great Person She Truly was. I am sure that She will be missed by all of those who knew Her. And May She Rest In The Hands Of God as She Surely Earned The Right.
It was pleasure to have had the opportunity to be Roberta’s pastor for these years she was a member of First Baptist Church of Sonora. She was a strong Bible teacher and loved and revered by those in her Sunday school Class. Peggy and I will miss here so very much.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family!
