Dear Ron and family - As you know, I had the pleasure of meeting your family while coaching David over the years in youth basketball. I especially enjoyed talking strategy with Roberta. She was an avid and enthusiastic supporter of the team whether we won or lost. I enjoyed seeing her each year and discussing everything from basketball to the law which were both common interests. She was truly a wonderful, inspirational and positive person. You all will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Capozzoli/Sochanski Families,
I am so saddened by this news and very sorry for your loss. Like Kerri, I too played youth and high school softball and basketball with Roberta and we shared so many wonderful and exciting times together. She was one of the sweetest and most humble souls amoung us, with a great sense of humor that would sneak up on you when least expected. To Mr. Capozzoli, Maria and Debbie- my heart is broken for you, as I know what a close and loving family you are. I will cherish my memories of Roberta always.

I cannot think about my days playing WTAA basketball & softball without thinking of Roberta. We were on many teams together and enjoyed time off the court as well.Always apart of high school, we basically grew up together. I've since moved away, but bumped into her while out shopping just a couple years ago when I was visiting back in NJ. We talked a long time and shared our memories. I am so sad to hear that she has passed away. I will be praying for all her grieving loved ones. May she rest in the loving arms of Jesus. To her husband, children, Mr. Cap, Maria, & Debbie--I am so sorry for your loss. You're all in my prayers.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To the Sochanski Family - We are saddened to hear of the passing of Roberta and send our deepest sympathies to you and all of your extended family. When we think of Roberta the 'biggest' thing that comes to mind is that she would do anything for anybody at any time - esp Nikki & David. She was such a giving person even if she had just met you. She will be missed by many throughout the community.
Our condolences to your family -

To my extended family in America,
I have just received and read Roberta's Obituary. I must say it really gives a lovely insight to her love filled life and how much she was cherished.
I will sadly pass this on to my brothers and sister and make sure that Mum and Dad get a copy to read. My family and I will be sending a donation in her memory to the above mentioned fund ,and I will also send another on behalf of Mum and Dad.
I have very fond memories of Roberta being Australia, her and I were of a similar age at the time and even though we were very different in some ways we shared a passion family and life.
Please accept my condolences,
with all my love cousin Antoinette (and family).
