What a blessing to have known such a wonderful person. Roma was a light in the darkness, she shone like a beacon to a wounded and hurt world. Roma always had an uplifting word for everyone she met. I will never meet anyone such as this woman of God. Such an inspiration. I will miss her deeply in this old sinful world, but cannot wait to be reunited with all the saints in Glory. What a day that will be because He(Jesus) is all I need.
Roma will be missed. I loved her sweet smile and could listen to her playing music for days. She always made me welcome. Love you Roma Earwood.

My earliest memories are of Aunt Roma and dad singing together. We will miss her but know she is singing in heaven’s choir with all the family. Love you Aunt Roma.
I just found out that Roma was my second cousin who I never knew about, but wish I had. I see Aunt Beulah, and my grandmother Myrtle, in her face. I will meet her there…
