Roberta what can I say, you were my 2nd mom. When my mom past you looked after me. I love you unconditionally and I never thought id have to do this. You were amazing. You were my super woman. You took on the world. All I can think of is that your up there with my mom just watching over all of us. I'm going to miss our talks. Laughing til the point we were crying. Ill never forget that when I needed to smile the most I could always count on you. You put up one hell of a fight and you will always be my super woman. I love you so much.

Roberta,

You are a true angel. You were one here on earth and now in heaven with all our crazy family. Hows Wilie Davy and all I know you are so happy to see them but all of us left here are in so deep pain IT HURTS beyond believe. I love you and will be there for the kids and Andy always. This promise I will keep because we discussed it many times. And I know you most certainly would do the same!

Roberta,
In life you can not choose your family but in my case I was lucky enough to be born with a sister like you. If I had to choose I would have chosen you. The love we share will never change. I will not say goodbye to you because we never used that word. We always said see you later. So once again I am not saying goodbye I am saying I will see you later. I love you very much and I know you love me very much.BERT ONCE AGAIN I'LL SEE YOU LATER.......

Berta I can never thank you enough for being such a great friend to me and my family. You have now gone on to a place where you will be able to watch over everyone. I will never forget you and our long, long, long conversations. I love you girlfriend and God Bless you and your family.

To the McKean's and Vazzano's nothing I can say will ever be enough to tell you how wonderful a person your wife, mom, grandmother was, just know that we will always be family and I will always be here for you.
