Condolences

Dear Ms. Roberson and Family,

We were very sorry to learn of Brother Roberson's passing. Even though he had been ill the last few years, he continued corresponding with the chapter and was very supportive when I spoke with him on the phone in 2004.

Please accept our sincerest condolences.

With Sympathy,
The Brothers of Phi Kappa Tau
Alpha Tau chapter, Cornell University
