    Sweet Tillie Roberts was my fifth grade Sunday school teacher at Wintersville Baptist Temple. She and her sisters were some of the most pleasant hard-working women I've ever known. They were some of the first people to tell me about Jesus and how I could be saved. I recently got to visit her in the hospital a few times and our conversations and prayer time was as blessed as always. What an honor to know her and call her my sister in Christ and friend. Condolences to all of her family especially Jimmy. She talked about him when I visited and said he and his wife were so reliable and loving to her. Her life was certainly a testimony to the Lord.
