Monica Roberts- Her voice may be stilled, but her legacy lives on

losangelesblade.com:

LOS ANGELES – There’s a certain comfort in those friendships in one’s life that transcend work, or even some familial relationships with others who one deems close.

A friendship where if separated by even distance and time you can still pick a phone- call, and the thread of conversation seemingly picks right up as though time itself hadn’t been interrupted.

A friendship that wasn’t defined by race, nor gender, nor societal conventions. A friendship that had a special bond of unbridled joy and mutual respect and love.

That’s the friendship I had with Monica Roberts I cherished and now upon learning of her passage I will grieve over its loss just as much as I will grieve losing my friend.
