Dan & Family,
I was very sorry to see that Roberta passed away! I enjoyed working with your family at the State Farm Office for many years. We are not in the Grant area anymore-so won’t be able to attend her service. ( We live in Upper Michigan)
We know you and the family will miss her so much!
With Prayers and Sympathy,
DeWayne and Sharon Evans

Dear Hiler Famiy,
We have been praying for the family for so long and even though it is a sad time it is also a happy time knowing that there is HEALING in heaven because of Jesus! Jeremy, Brent, Eric and Joel were happy that they could say goodbye to their Grandma over the phone. Know that all the way to Kenya people are praying to all of you.
Miss you Grandma.
Jeremy, Brent, Eric and Joel Hiler
