In November 1993, Mom had heart surgery. Upon first waking from the surgery, connected to what seemed like an endless number of tubes and machines, she reaches for Dad's hand, signals for a pad and pen, and slowly scribbles one word--love. She doesn't remember that moment. If you knew Mom, you would know that it sounds just like something she would do. Always giving love and care, always making sure everyone else knows they are loved.

In honor of Ima Roberts, our family has donated a brick to the Carrie Catt Chapman Plaza of Heroines. Mom, you are truly a hero in our eyes. We are thankful to you for our lives, our values, and our happiness. Mostly, we honor you and thank you for your giving nature, enduring spirit, and courageous love of life.

With all our love,
Robin, Sherron, Anna, and Caroline
