Roberta loved Jesus Christ, The Messiah. She asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior when she was 19 years old. She would like you to know how to do this through the ABC’s of Salvation.

ADMIT, BELIEVE, CONFESS. Admit you have sinned. Romans 3:23. Believe in Jesus Christ. John 3:16-17. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Romans 10:9-10.  Look up the references in a Holy Bible. This is a free gift from God. You, too, can live eternally in Heaven as Roberta is living. No pain, no sorrow, no crying. Our loving Father is waiting for you to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Bertie had a passion for singing, playing the piano and organ, flower gardening, horseback riding, (Appalachian Wagon Train for 36 years) and Ladies Dart Ball. Bertie always had a revolving door at her home, and she loved reading her Bible. Her favorite passage is Psalm 121. Read it!
