I offer my most sincere sympathy to Marco, Marisa and Robert, on the loss of their wonderful mother. I spent many a day with Franca, sipping coffee, discussing children, sampling something tasty and new to me, sitting on the porch steps, or driving together to meet my parents at the Moose Lodge on a Saturday night. Her world revolved around her family and she did a stellar job of raising wonderful children, many of those years by herself. She will be greatly missed and was loved so much by so many. I'm sorry I can't be there personally to give support and love, but know that I do it from afar. xo

To the entire Roberti Family,
My heart goes out to each and everyone of you. I'm saddened by this tremendous loss. I hope that all of you find peace and comfort in the difficult days to come with your memories of her. Hold them close in your hearts. Mrs. Roberti was an amazing woman. Her strength to overcome all of life's challenges she was given was truly an inspiration to me. She was one of the strongest, kindest, and caring women I've ever known. Some of my fondest childhood memories include her and the days spent at her home playing with the kids. She always made me feel like I was part of the family. May your spirit rest in peace and your legacy live on through your children and grandchildren. You will be sorely missed Mrs. Roberti, but never forgotten.

My condolences to the Roberti family during this most trying of times. I too, will miss Franca and her personable nature. Her wonderful zest for life would put a smile on my face under any circumstances. She was so devoted to her children and always talked so highly about her family. Everything was about her children and grandchildren. How she adored them.
I heard many stories about Marissa and the boys!!
It was an honor and pleasure to have met such a special woman, and to have had the opportunity to meet her family who meant the world to her. I will miss her.
I only hope I helped her in some way.
Franca has made me realize how fortunate I am to meet such wonderful people in my profession.
I am so sorry about your GREAT loss....
