Our prayers for peace for all who were touched by Steve’s life. May he be reunited with Trudy for eternity. Whenever the heavens thunder, I’ll rememeber Steve’s time with us on earth!
We are sorry that we can not attend the Service. (We are committed to a family reunion at that time at Lake James.) Please know that our thoughts will be with you. Praying for you. God Bless You all.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Roberts Family. I’ll miss Steve very much. He was like a Bother as well as a best friend to me. I know he has joined Trudy in Heaven now.
My sympathy to all of Steve Family and to his friends.
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.
We have all been given advice from Steve. He will be missed for his humor and advise. Sincerely, Julia Foster
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Roberts family. We really wish we could have been their for the memorial. Some of my most cherished childhood memories were with Steve, Trudy and the family. He’s with his true love now, Trudy. I loved him dearly. God Bless him.
To the family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many fond, childhood memories of Steve and Trudy. At least, now, they are back together!
Love,
Nicki Craig Wiggins
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Sorry we could not be at the service.
I knew Steve for 19 years, most of them as fellow employees at the airport. I considered Steve a friend and a real gentleman. I was traveling when the news of his death was received and was unable to return in time to attend the graveside services. We have lost a friend and he will be missed.
My prayers go out to the Roberts family. Words cannot describe this mountain of a man. Steve was a former coworker and superviser of mine, and we also shared the same birth date. So many great memories will not be forgotten. I was unable to attend the service but my heart was with all of the friends and family the moment I received the terrible news.
