We are so grateful to have had her in our lives for a short time. We'll never read historical fiction, do a crossword puzzle or tend to a plant without thinking of her."

"Mrs. Chapman as I knew her by, She was one of teachers in Junior Highschool. She was a great lady. God Speed Mrs. Chapman. To all of us that are mourning your loss, You are in a better place and not suffering anymore on this earth. Thank you for all you did during your 30 years of teaching at the greatest Highschool in the City of Indianapolis."

"Dear CE and family:We were surprised and saddened to hear of Roberta's illness and passing. I (Shelley) remember first encountering Roberta's infectious smile and fantastic sense of humor when I was a new teacher at North Central. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we wish your family peace as you mourn the passing of your wife, mother, daughter, friend, and "Diboo." God bless you."

"Singing the "Bonanza" theme song as we loped through the fields at The Fort, winding our way through the apple orchard and across the creeks near the barn, trying to keep up with the head wrangler...fun memories of Roberta will always remain. We are grateful for the tough standards she held to in her classroom, demanding only the best from her freshman students, giving them the strongest possible start to high school English. And I will always try to emulate her slow and steady golf swing! If only there were more miracles to go around in the treatment of cancer, Roberta deserved one. We will miss her greatly. "

"My heart goes out to your whole family- how to express the grief I feel on the loss of a lifelong friend. Through ups and downs from the time we were fourteen- Roberta has been my inspiration, confidant and the one I could always count on. She will always reside in my heart. "

"Dear C. E.: I read about the death of your dear wife in this morning's Star. Please accept my sincere condolences for you and your family. The obituary painted a portrait of a dear woman who was wise, athletic, interested in making our world a more beautiful place, and who loved children.This must be a very trying time for you and your family ~ I pray you can overcome your sorrow with time and be thankful your wife no longer suffers the pain she must have endured throughout her physical trials. God bless and keep you. Rosalie Lavelle"

"You are being remembered today in thought and Prayer.May GOD continue to comfort you during these times.Prayerfully,"

This scripture has always been comforting to me......"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31Our sincere sympathy,Bruce & Sue"

"She will be missed so much. Your Roberta was such a strong and beautiful woman with a huge, generous heart. I could talk to her about anything."

"My sympathy is with you in your time of loss. Mrs. Quandt was my freshman English teacher at North Central. She was a great teacher, the first great teacher I had in high school. She challenged and encouraged me intellectually, and helped me to focus my adolescent energy into a passion for learning. She was very always kind and supportive, and as I moved into higher grades it was a joy to see her. I am sorry for your loss; she was worthy of the utmost respect."

"The joy of knowing Roberta will fill our hearts and minds forever. The many hours of friendship and laughter spent with her will keep the memory of Roberta alive. Tears of sadness for your loss roll down our cheeks, but our hearts are full of the light and sunshine which Roberta brought to our lives. "

She truly is one of God's angels today."

"Mr. Quandt, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know your swwet wife, but you were my counselor at NV and as Asst. Prin. at NC way back in the day. I remember how nice you were then and hope that you take solace in knowing that she will always be with you deep inside your heart. My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. NC/Class of 85"

"Good bye to a dear Pi Phi sister and friend from our high school days at North Central. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. "

"CE, we share with you your grief over Roberta's passing, yet pray the promise of life in Christ will comfort you even as you mourn. When my father passed away this summer, a friend brought to my attention this poem by the 2nd century A.D. Greek poet Carphyllides. With but a couple of minor changes, it seems appropriate for Roberta, an English teacher, and for you, one who has known the beauty and value of Classics.Find no fault with my fate, traveler, in passing my tomb. Not even in death have I anything that calls for mourning. I had grandchildren, and I enjoyed the companionship of my husband. I saw my children marry, and children sprang from their unions. I lulled my grandchildren to sleep on my lap and never mourned the death of one of them or was troubled by his having an illness. My children, my husband, and my grandchildren have poured libations on my grave and sent me off on a painless journey to the home of the pious dead to sleep the sweet sleep."

"CE and family:I am so sorry for your loss. Roberta (Miss Beguhn to me) was my freshman English teacher at North Central. After receiving effortless As my entire life in school I suddenly found myself struggling for Cs. She set high standards for her students and accepted nothing less than their best - and for that lesson I am deeply grateful. Please know that she touched many during her life and will not be forgotten."

"C E and family, how lucky you all were to have Roberta in your life. Though I only go back 12 years with her, I was profoundly impacted by her spirit and joyous personality. She was my "

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We were greatly saddened by Roberta's death. While words were Roberta's life, it is always difficult to find the right words at times like these. Please know that she will always be with us."

"C.E. I'm so sorry to learn of Roberta's passing. She was always a warm and friendly person to me and I know she was an outstanding educator. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, Jim"

"Dear CE and the Quandt family. Carol and I wish to express our condolences at the loss of Roberta. She was a hard worker and deeply cared for her students. We appreciate her concern for Matt and Bobby as they were nearing graduation. We remember how she came to watch Bobby play baseball for North Central. As an educator, it is difficult to juggle your professional and private life, but she did it and everyone appreciated her dedication. We were lucky to have known her. God bless you and your family. May Roberta rest in peace."

"CE, I want to express my sincere condolences to you and your family in the loss of your wonderful Roberta. Alto I did not know her, just reading the beautiful tribute of her life left me 'knowing' her. CE, while I was working at Northview Middle School and my children were attending North Central, I shall always remember your wonderful help through their high school years. May God bless you and your family during these difficult times. Hold your memories close to you. "

"CE, Susan and I send our deepest symapthy to you and your family on Roberta's death. Matt was up for dinner tonight and we were talking about her having him as a student at NCHS. All of us have fond memories and she will be missed by so many she touched. May she be of blessed memory."

"Mr. Quandt,So very sorry for your loss."

"C.E. It's been over 10 years since the George reunion when I met Roberta. You have my sympathy with your loss. Rembering the good times you and Roberta shared will be with you always. God's love will heal you in the days ahead. I think of you often remembering ourchildhood visits through the years. I even called your mom "Aunt" because my dad thought she was mother's sister when they met. Take care and God Bless your family.Love, Sally"

" Roberta was part of the faculty at Northview Junior High School when I started my career back in 1975. I like the picture of her included in this Guestbook. Her face is happy and friendly. This was my first impression of Roberta and she was always the same each time I talked with her. When North Central became a four year high school, we transferred over along with several other teachers. Years later, Roberta heard I was writing a book about parenting. She was very supportive. I appreciated her consistent interest and encouragement. As a result of her many positive comments, I included her name in the Acknowledgments. Roberta will be missed. However, her influence and memories live on in all of her family and friends. "

"Our most hearfelt sympathies go out to Shirley, Andi, Bob, Greg, CE and the entire family, Roberta will be painfully missed by her family and friends. Look to your memories for peace and always keep her in your heart for there she will live forever. We love you all."

"I and the staff of Sundown would like to express our condolences for your loss. Please know you and your family will be in our prayers and thoughts. It was a great pleasure working with Mrs. Quandt on her landscaping .......her love for plants, flowers, color and beauty was contagiuous ....almost equal to her noticable zest for living life to the fullest. "

""When your loved one dies, think not of a candle being extinguished, but of a lamp being turned off...because, for your loved one, a New Dawn has come"....And in Roberta's case I'm certainly thinking of the lovliest of all roses, New Dawn. Roberta will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her!"

"My prayers are with all of the family. To CE, and to Roberta's daughters, and to all of Roberta's friends at North Central High School, I send my thoughts and prayers."

"Roberta was an exceptional teacher and valued friend and colleague who made my years as a fellow English teachers at North Central High School much brighter. She leaves a beautiful legacy in her extended family and in the students she taught with such care and compassion."

"C.E. and family, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May God comfort you and help you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family."

"CE and Family,Our deepest condolences on the passing of a wonderful woman who made such a lasting impact, as a teacher, guide and friend. We can still remember those first days of high school English and the care and concern with which she guided us through the material. Her patience and love for students was especially evident.As Senior Class President, the ability to work with her on a daily basis was such a treat, because my teacher became much more. She believed in me. Pushed me. Her genuine care impacted me and still influences how I attempt to treat others. While her time on Earth has passed, I know that experiences like those keep her spirit living on in countless others."

"My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was an honor being a little part of her life along the way. "

"Goodbye, dear friend, until we meet again! "

"Goodbye, dear friend, until we meet again! "

"Good bye dear Roberta. I will always have such fond memories of our years together. Going to 'stuff' together, our mothers taking turns driving. Your horrrible automobile accident, months spent recooperating, your leg suspended for days. I will count my blessings that I knew you! We were almost twins, your BD 2/25/43, mine 2/26/43 YOU were a true SWEETHEART!XOXO Diane"

"I am so sad to hear about the death of one of my best childhood friends! My memories of "Berta B" and our sleepovers, poem-writing, and girly giggles will forever bring a smile to my face. Although our lives took different paths after high school, the years we shared in our friendship are still vivid in my mind. She was a very gifted and special person. I feel blessed to be one of the lives that she touched during her life's journey. May the Lord Jesus wrap each one of you in the peace and comfort of His loving arms!"

My oldest son, David, enjoyed being in her class his senior year. Please accept our condolences."

" I have known Roberta since I started teaching in Washington Township in 1978. I still remember the time, after a meeting at her Sandy Pointe condo, she and I went out in her row boat and rowed down the river one peaceful, sunny late summer afternoon. We had a great talk and such a good time. I will miss her. Kristin and Kady--I know how difficult it is to lose your mother. To CE and Roberta's entire family--you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you all be given peace, strength, and comfort. --Jeanie Bollei-Moore"
