My deepest sympathy for your loss. May your memories & God’s love help comfort you in the coming days. RIP Roberta
Roberta is with Bernard and others of her family now. She is with Jesus , her Savior Jesus Christ. I went to school with Roberta in grade school in Fair Haven and four years of high school in Kimball, MN. I met her at church a few years ago when I visited my brother Lowell Beck who lives in Clearwater, MN. I live in Hickory, NC. My husband had a position as principal of a Lutheran School . That is how I am living in Hickory, NC. May Jesus comfort all your hurting hearts. Rosemary Dietrich
Karen and I are deeply saddened and yet at the same time give thanks that Roberta is now home with her Savior. We will miss her! She brought so many blessings to our lives…as did your Dad. We have so many fond memories of their gracious hospitality. They will always hold a special place in our hearts.
