I grew up on the south side of the Coinjock Canal. I knew all of the Roberts children. They were all good children. Their mother was my school bus driver for several years. I worked at Griggs Elementary School for 26 years before retiring. Audrey worked as manager of the cafeteria for several years before I retired. She loved the children and had a heart for their needs. I'm sure she will be missed by many.
