  8. “Hello meanness , how you doin ?” That was always Roberta’ s first words to me . I didn’t matter if I was a goofball High school kid , a Frito Lay man , or fellow Democratic supporter . All that mattered was I was hugging a friend an someone who always had my back . We lost a couple of good ones this year . Sorry Bill

  38. So sorry for your loss Billy – she was a grand lady who was always supportive of the coaches, the team and you. I remember her big laugh and bigger smile – one of the many blessings of coaching at Boyle County High School…you were another one. Praying for you, my friend. In His Name, Coach
