    Robert was a very loving and caring lady. I was so lucky to have a wonderful mother in law. I will miss her and always love her and remember how gracefull of a lady she was in life. She always put others first especially her family. She was so full of life. Her memory will always be with us. with love Jenny Bomar

    Roberta will be missed by many loved and caring people. She fought a courageous battle with her illness. She was willing to share her illness with other and talked about it openly. Becky remembers the determination to do things for herself at an outing at the cabin. My her spirit have a speedy journey to the heavens and let her watch over all that loved and cared for her. We’ll miss you Roberta.

    This is Daina thoughts also speaking in behalf of my Beautiful mother Vera Cutler whom is in the heavens as an angle with her beuatiful glowing smile to welcome Roberta into our family in the Heavens. We will never forget Roberta as she was so good natured and loving, she was always thinking of others and far from selfish. She loved and cared with all her heart for her childeren and would do anything for them. We wish we could have spent more time with her as the distance was between us, but our hearts were always conected bound with lots of love. I still have the charm bracelet she sent to me and will always cherish it as a gift from an Angel above always watching over us all. God bless you my aunt Roberta! you will always be in our hearts and souls.

    Dear Boyd & Family,

    I was sorry to hear about your loving wife, Roberta. While I didn’t know her personally, when I would see you two out occassionally, mostly at Walmart, she always had a gracious smile and a friendly hello. May all the wonderful memories you hold so close in your heart sustain you in the difficult days ahead. You have my deepest sympathy.

    Dear Boyd and family,
    I was so sorry to hear that Roberta left this earth. 70 is still quite young in this day and age. I knew Roberta and met you, Boyd, back in 1976-77 when June Douglass and I were in that area in the ministry. I have been good friends with Rosie, your sister in law ever since those days in Helena. Rosie has mentioned Roberta from time to time and how they were able to see you and Roberta at the Mayo Clinic when Roberta needed to be there for checkups. So glad that Rosie was able to come to Helena earlier and that will Ken will be able to fly out also. I will remember you all at 10:30 on Monday morning.

    Please know that I am sorry for your loss. She will be missed as a wife, a mother, a sister, and as a daughter and also as a friend.

    With Sympathy and care, Linda from Salem, OR

    Dear Family,
    I want to send my regards to your family. Roberta was a very dear friend of mine
    when I lived in Helena. She was one of my bridemaids almost 45 years ago. I moved
    to Alberta then and our friendship was a phone call and Christmas letter occassionly.
    I often wished we could have a coffee togather and a good visit. But the miles apart
    just didn’t work. I so would have liked to come for her service but it just won’t happen
    with our winter now. But just know that we our thinking of you with our sympathy
    for your loss. Robert & Blanche Dangerfield

    My condolences to the Bomar family. When I first began teaching in East Helena, she was the person who was so helpful and friendly. She was greatly missed when she retired.

    Boyd, your children, Rosie, Ruth and Luella,
    So sorry to hear about Roberta and all her health problems of late. I was so glad to have seen her 10 years ago in Townsend, although it was brief. We once were good friends before marriages and life led us far apart. Am especially remembering a wonderful visit she paid Blanche, Ruth and I in Sacramento in the 60’s. Will be thinking of you all Monday as I write this from Yuma, Az. Deena and Mike Pech

    Dear Boyd, Jennifer, Brad and family, I am not sure how to begin here. Roberta had the brightest smile I have ever seen. She had such a beautiful outlook on life…when she and Boyd came in the salon for their haircuts…it made my day. Roberta was such a help to me when my Randy passed away…she had the words that gave such comfort. Roberta was my Friend…and a friend to all. Missing you girlfriend…and thinking of you Boyd and Jen and Brad and family. I just sang you a song Roberta…in honor or your smile…the song “Smile”.

    My mother, Lillian Nelson met Roberta when they worked together at the Hwy Lab in the early 60’s…she thought the world of Roberta. They exchanged Christmas cards until Mom passed away a couple of years ago. I was in the same class as Roberta’s sisters – I remember thinking how lucky they were to have a sister like Roberta. As I recall, she was always laughing and happy.

    Brad, I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

    When I lived in Helena in 1963, I spent much time with Roberta and with her mom, dad, and sisters in East Helena. They were a comfort away from home–so generous and positive. I have many warm memories of my time spent there. Sadly, after I moved East I lost touch and am so sorry about that. I don’t like to think about the world being without her generosity and warm spirit.

    Dear Boyd,

    Just by our walks by your house and by chance to catch you out in your yard, we enjoyed our visits with you. This is how we learned about Roberta’s illness. We are very saddened that you have lost your very special friend and wife and the mother and grandmother to your children and grandchildren. She will be dearly missed. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

    March 16, 2013 at 5:24 pm

    Boyd and family, My condolences to all of you as Roberta passed from this world to her heavenly home. While working with Roberta for several years at the Main Street school, I was truly blessed to have had God put such a wonderful, compassionate, loving woman into my life as a friend and a mentor. Find comfort in knowing that God has a special place for her in her eternal home. Bless you all. Ellen Harne
