knew the roberson family from little on–You all have our sincere sympathy. lou ann and donald Lipp
My fondest memories are of hours spent laughing, talking, and assembling jigsaw puzzles at Don & Diane’s dining room table. Diane had a dry sense of humor, was always warm and welcoming, and never shy about any topic of conversation!
Our heartfelt condolences to Sarah, Uncle Donald, and all of Aunt Diane’s family.
Our deepest sympathies to Donald and Sarah and the family. We will miss Diane. She was a great friend and would light up the room with her sense of humor and views of the world. Her concern for others was very admirable. May she rest in peace. Love, Dan & Pat Fliger
