Dear Ted, David, Robert, Michael, Steven and your families, Out prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of your loss. Roberta was always like a second Mom to me; always there to do my hair for ballet or gymnastics, teaching me to sew in a zipper or button hole, and letting me take of her boys from time to time. Seldom do you have a relationship like that. I have always respected and cherished it. I love all of you and regret that I have lost touch with you.With Love, Wendy

Roberta was a beautiful person both inside and out. I consider myself very fortunate to have known her. I have many very fond memories, lunches in Brooklyn, NYC, weddings, christenings, picnic and the best were sitting on the beach at LBI. We would talk about so many things and it was very apparent how much she loved her family. Love to all the O'Hara family. Irene Cantwell

Ted, My sympathies to you and the boys (men). Roberta was a pleasure to work with and her pleasant attitude helped us all. I'm sorry I can't be there in person. We have relocated to State College, Pennsylvania. Sincerely, Jack
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Roberta was an amazing person and will be solely missed. As the son of one of Teddy's best friends-- my most vivid memory is how Teddy and Roberta (or Mr and Mrs O'Hara as I always called them) would come visit my family for a day each year during our annual summer trip to the shore. I always enjoyed listening to their stories and all the laughs that were had by all. Condolences to the entire O'Hara family during this difficult time. Steve Cantwell

Ted and Pam and the O'Hara family, I'm very sorry to hear about Roberta's passing. Mrs O'Hara was there for many special times in my life - the Boys of Summer parties we used to have at the house, my first holy communion, family vacations at the Jersey shore. I remember how much we would look forward to when Mr and Mrs O'Hara visited us in Long Beach Island, we would spend all day on the beach together and Ted and Roberta and Dad would tell us their stories about growing up in Brooklyn. Then we'd all head over to Ginos together for pizza. She always brightened our day, we really enjoyed being around her and she was always very easygoing and happy. Please know we are thinking of you. She will be missed. Jeff
