Mark and Susanne,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I recall growing up with Mark and spending so much time with Miss Roberta and Mark over the years. I can't express the sorrow I feel in words that say what I feel. Miss Roberta will be dearly missed. The Robinsons are here for you when needed.
