Posted on: Sunday, March 29, 2026Noel and Family, there are no words that can describe how sorry we are to hear of the passing of Roberta. She has and always will be a great friend and left us far too soon. I will always remember that we constantly were competing as to which one of us had the best hand writing. I think Roberta won as her Christmas card notes were clearer to read. Her and Judy are together now dancing up a storm to the music we grew up on.
Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Our Deepest Condolences – Flo and Chris.

We so enjoyed meeting both of you in Cape Coral, Florida and then continuing the friendship when we both returned to Ontario. Hopefully, you can be comforted by lots of wonderful memories that you shared over the last fifty years. Our sincere condolences.
