Searcy, AR Monday, July 25, 2011 I knew Roberta as a little girl because she and Thomas were best friends with my brother and wife, Thomas and Emma Leen Guthrie. I loved to be with the four of them - they always enjoyed each other so much. Roberta was always smiling and sweet-spirited and I could tell she and Thomas were very much in love with each other. Good memories of good people!Geraldine Guthrie Woodell
