Remembering a legacy of strength, resilience, and unwavering love

Our family is no stranger to Alzheimer's and the grief that comes with it. Roberta was a woman whose presence could light up any room. Known for her spitfire personality and ever-ready smile—often paired with a quick hello or heartfelt conversation—she had an uncanny ability to make people feel seen and supported. Her fierce love for those close to her was evident in everything she did. Alzheimer's robbed us of that woman, far too soon. This disease is ugly and for all the pain and grief that comes for 'us' the family, I can not even begin to imagine the suffering for ('them' our loved one) Roberta, or those we lost before her to this same debilitating disease. After losing countless loved ones to Alzheimer's, I knew I wanted to honor their memories in a way that would make a difference. That's why I joined the fight to end this devastating disease by creating this tribute page in Roberta's name. By taking this step, I'm raising funds to support the critical work of the Alzheimer's Association: providing care and support for families, advancing promising research and offering a lifeline through their free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Every dollar raised helps ensure that no one faces Alzheimer's alone. I'd be so grateful if you would make a memorial gift in their name. It would mean a lot to me and those facing this relentless disease.  A future without Alzheimer's is out there. Let's get there, together. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
