I will always remember the generosity Mr. Roberts showed toward the Over My Head Homeless Shelter during the 6 years of its operation.
I will never forget this man who went out of his way to help me through one of the darkest periods of my life.
He was so very kind, telling me what I needed to hear even if I didn’t want to hear it and doing it in a way that not only gave me strength but made me want to keep going.
I’ll miss you sir.
I just found out, and here it is 2026. You all have always been kind to me in the past, and my prayers are with you and your family.
