At this time when our hearts are heavy, we need to take comfort in the fact the loving bond that this family shares, will forever keep us whole. As we look for answers, that may never come, let us not forget that we need only look at the beauty of nature and remember the parts of life that Roberta cherished. Like the blossoms of a lilac, that bring us happiness and comfort with it's colors and fragrance, but stay with us for far too little time each year. Our memories keep the Lilac fresh, until they bloom again. At this time when our hearts are heavy, remember that the love that Roberta kept within her, for her son, her husband, her parents, her sisters and all of her family and friends, is her gift to each of us. This gift will fill our hearts, Our hearts will spawn our memories, Our memories strengthen the bond that keeps us together, forever.

Roberta, my dearest friend, I'll never forget all the wonderful memories that we shared. We grew up together, saw each other through grammar school, high school, college, marriage, and even children. You were a wonderful friend and our fond memories will never be forgotten. My God grant Patrick, Kevin, and your family the strength to get through this difficult time. May you rest in peace with our Lord. Love, your friend, Susan (Ignazio) Frazier

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Roberta's family. Roberta worked at Belmont Medical for 12 years and was our dear friend and co-worker. She was a dedicated, hard working person who many of us have known since our Sancta Maria hospital working days. The loss is great and the void here is apparent everywhere we go. We hope the memories of her spontaneous and beautiful laugh, giving personality, and caring ways sustain those closest to her. To Patrick and Kevin - we send our love and prayers. We will never forget our dear friend. Staff and physicians at Belmont Medical.
