This is correct. She is real sweet looking and quite good at what she does.

My thoughts are also with her, she is such a delightful and wonderful person. I thought the book that was given her with messages from well wishers was really a neat idea and she really seemed appreciative of everything. What a WONDERFUL & SPECIAL lady.

Yes, Best wishes on her recovery and condolence for the family. She was able to make to Mississippi Gulf Coast amist of the bad weather to be with her mother yesterday before she passed away late Thursday night. Her mother "Lucimarian Roberts" was 88 years old. Her and Robin wrote a book entitled "My Story, My Song."

Al Roker and Robin Roberts both have Ohio ties but are not married to each other. Robin is a very strong person and our prayers go out to her.

You are right. Al is married to Deborah Roberts.

My heart just sank when I heard that news last night. The only "up side" to this (maybe?)? My Mother used to say that bad things come in 3's so maybe now Robin's bad stuff is behind her. I hope so. I have so much respect for her. She is such a class act in a time when there are so few on TV.

Robin's sister, Sally Ann Roberts, is a news anchor on the CBS station in New Orleans. Wonderful Christian lady. She is the 'Perfect Match' for what Robin is needing. Sally Ann and CBS affiliate in NO have made a significant contribution to donor awareness having had several "Perfect Match" events in New Orleans where people come and are tested to be bone marrow and organ donors, etc. The entire Roberts family have always "bloomed where they were planted'. The world needs more people like them.

I think I heard on Thursday that GMA will have a like on their website that we can go to and see what the doctors are saying about her progress. I wish her well. A friend went through bone marrow transplant so I know what is involves.

Robin roberts is a class act. I wish her well for her health and happines. It will be hard for her losing her mom and then going thru the treatment but her faith will bring her strength.

Don't watch that station...
