Dear Walker family,

I would like to express my sincere heart felt condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of getting to know Roberta when I worked at the Marriott Lincolnshire. She was a sweet, elegant, caring person. In the years since I left there evertime I returned I would make it a point to stop in the giftshop to visit her and say hi. She always wanted to know how my children were doing. The world has lost a special lady. I always told people she reminded me of my grandmother. She had a very pleasant warmth to her. A very classy lady. God bless her.

Sincerely,
Dale Mooney
