    I express my deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow. May you be comforted by the promise the Bible gives that your loved one will soon live again in a peaceful paradise on the earth where death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15; Revelation 21:4)

    Roberta was a kind, beautiful woman who was a member of our Glen Cairn 55 and Better for many years,
    I remember her beautiful garden, and her gift of rhubarb. Euchre she also loved, and her singing ladies to brighten people in nursing homes. I enjoyed our last visit. Her love of family was intense, how proud you all must be of your mother.
    In the calendar for 2014 she wrote:
    “Never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly!” Fly high my dear, dear friend.
