It is with a most sincere heart that I, her Pastor & her Entire Church Family extend to you, her Family, words of Condolence. Just like the Beautiful Radiant Photo you've chosen for her obituary, so was the Beauty she brought to our church! She was a Faithful Servant! She worked in the kitchen, Met & Greeted people on the Usher Board and up until the later part of last year, she was a PROUD MEMBER of "The Devotion In Motion," Senior Dance Team! You talk about "Crossing Some Legs & doing some Pointing; Ms. Roberts had it "Going On!" She truly loved her FAMILY, her FRIENDS, her PASTOR & 1st LADY, and most of all, HER GOD! Even when she was no longer able to attend church physically, her heart & thoughts were always with us! We thank you family, for allowing us to be a part of her beautiful journey! She will ever be MISSED but NEVER FORGOTTEN! Sincerely, Rev. Perry J. Dye & The H. G. B. C. Salisbury, NC
It's with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my dear Aunt Margaret—one of the incredible women who helped shape me into who I am. Her presence was powerful; you always knew when she entered a room. Every family has that one person who is truly one of a kind—and she was definitely it. If you had a problem and needed someone to stand by you, speak up for you, or fight for you, she was the one. And if you were in the wrong, she'd let you know—sometimes with a look, sometimes with a full-on come-to-Jesus moment. To know her was to understand her. Her delivery could be sharp, but it was always rooted in love. She was strong, fearless, confident, and a true trailblazer. I'm so thankful I had the chance to tell her how much she meant to me and how deeply she inspired me. I will honor her memory and continue to share her story. Fly high, Auntie. You will never be forgotten.💕💕💕
My sincere Condolences to the Roberts Family. Their dear mother adopted me. Lallage Carouthers
