One of the nicest people you could ever meet. The world is a little less bright without her.

Amongst all the beautiful and true comments about Roma, I also reflect on her human side, loving dark chocolate and dangling earrings. Every time I eat do chocolate and extra spicy food I think of her.

Roma was and still is a beautiful lady that had touched my heart and so many others. Roma had a beautiful spirit and enjoyed being around all her friends. I thought highly of her and will miss visiting with her.
God bless

Roma was a dear friend to all who had the pleasure of meeting her. She mentored me during my years at South Junior High and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Her dear husband Ralph was her constant companion and the love of her life. Her three daughters were always cherished and adored by Roma. She helped countless people and was kind to everyone she met. I will miss her sweet smile & the fun times I shared with her.

Oh my, a light has moved on to another realm. However, she leaves behind a wonderful glow that won't diminish in the minds of those who knew her, even on the periphery. To Ralph and all of the family, please know that Roma remains a very special person to many. Her humor and humility were always a gift. May you each find peace passing all understanding as you mourn her loss and rejoice in her accomplishments in your presence. Love remains in memories. Eugenia Bryan
