Roberta was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Biloxi on Popps Ferry Road. She wished to be remembered with two scriptures:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the path of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Yeah, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
-23rd PSALM

I can do all things through
Christ which strengthens me.
-PHILIPPIANS 4:13
