We first became acquainted with Roberta Enger when she served at St Anthony nursing home. My father was one of her clients. It was a difficult time in that his stay began prior to Covid and ran through the remainder of the pandemic. We noticed every time we visited, that Roberta, greeted us with a big smile, good humor, and a nice update on his condition. My father never failed to speak highly of Roberta and enjoyed their friendship immensely. My father would probably say the entire staff at St Anthony Nursing Home along with Roberta were his family. On the morning of Dad's passing Roberta and her associates met us with genuine condolence and tears. We knew, that they too, had lost someone they cared deeply about. It could not have been a more “Franciscan Experience”. Later on, I ran into Roberta at St Anthony Clinic in Carroll. She was the same vital, caring person in a different setting. Roberta has had a profound experience in the life of my father and our entire family. St Anthony is blessed to have Roberta and others like her. They truly look to the cross for the inspiration that marks their compassion and caring.
