Hello.
My name is Alice Smeathers and I was a good friend of Roberta's here at Crystal View Lodge. She would go down to the dining room early and I did also. We would sit and chat about a lot of things, including our teaching careers and families. She sat at my table for dinner on that last sad Friday, and then went with me to the Pub night in the Atrium, when she received the call that you were at her door. She was very well liked here and we were shocked to learn of her sudden passing. I am the honoured recipient of a framed print, her big book and a smaller one. She refused payment and said it was because of our special friendship. Yes, she did touch many lives in a very positive way, including here. Many of us here, including me, will truly miss Roberta! We will treasure our wonderful memories. Bless you all.
Alice
