“I never got to meet you but I know you are looking over me and the family. I wish I could have met you, I hear from my mom and grandma that if you were still here I would have loved you. Grandma misses you a lot, and from time to time has her break downs. Wish things didn't turn out like it did.you are gone but not forgotten, Love you, great grandma” - Deajanae Emanuel

“Roberta, I believe I knew you for a few brief years in the early 60\'s when my mother was married to your son Frank. Being a child myself, I wasn't able to maintain contact with their daughter Lisa, my half sister. I want to thank you for some of the best memories of my childhood, fragmented as they may be after all these decades (your biscuits were and remain the best I ever had!), and for always treating my siblings and I as your own. Rest in Christ, dear Roberta, and I'll happily see you on the other side.” - Stella Baker
