Cathy Roemer-Lentz - October 27th, 2022

The first time I met Roberta, I was 9 yrs old...having just moved from Pennsylvania with my family in the fall of 1959. She was such a great kind friend to me. It was the first move of my young life and all seemed so strange and new. She had a kind heart .... I'm certain, her whole life! I believe she put her trust in God. Something I could see on her Facebook posts.
My sincere condolences to family who must miss her very much.

Judy Fisher - April 8th, 2018

Don and his brother, Jeff, are part of many memories from Kenwood School! As twins, I don't believe they ever had the same teacher. I'll always remember the time when the school attended an assembly in the gym, and when it was over and we were to accompany our teachers back to class, Don and Jeff switched places. We kids knew the difference between the twins, but our teachers had a harder time! To this day, I don't think our teachers ever realized the little prank they pulled!

Patricia Biesiot - April 5th, 2017

I remember Don from some of our classes. Nice guy.

I to didn’t know Diana well but was shocked to read she died the summer of our graduation. I was still in town then but didn’t know. I do remember her and she was one of those people I always said hello to in the hall between classes.

Judy Fisher - April 8th, 2018

Such a friendly face and ready smile! Her death at such a young age was such a shock! So sad! Wish I had gotten to know her better...

stephen wilhelm - May 8th, 2017

Great young lady very sad day for me.

Harold Brown - April 8th, 2017

The lesson of the fragile nature of life was learned when Diana and Marie Wilhelm died in the accident the summer of 1968.

Patricia Biesiot - April 5th, 2017

I didn't really know Diana at all, but nonetheless was devastated at her early death the summer after graduation.
