I knew Roberta for 30+ years at Coldwell Banker Realty. She was a very hard worker, good Realtor but even a better person! I'm saddened to learn of her passing. RIP Roberta. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the wake or services on tomorrow because I've been home sick this week.

Roberta, colleague and friend for over 25 years. Always a smile and a pleasant hello. Grandkids were our hot topic. She was a good sport when we would do office skits. One year we portrayed her as a female "Columbo". Or the time she had her arms were in slings and wanted to drive! She complained when voicemail came out that she was never going to use it at the office! I just spoke with Roberta on Friday. I did a closing for her and her last words to me were- Lisa you are the greatest! Thank you for those kibd words. Heaven has gained another Angel.
