   To the family of Roberta Walson: Roberta had a heart of gold. Always smiling and very very nice to everyone she met. We were friends all of our lives! Roberta would do anything to help her friends. Her family was the most kind, caring, and loving family anyone would want to meet. They were a tight knit family as well. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Thank you for the Treasured memories Roberta. Gone,but never forgotten. R.I.P. my beautiful friend. 💗💔
