Roberta loved reading from the first book she read. Roberta loved everything simple, yet sophisticated. She adored Mother Nature and the birds and flowers. She patiently grew gardens from seed. Roberta was the honeysuckle scent as you walked out the door. She never missed a moment or a detail. She loved to share joy.
