It is indeed very sad to hear of the passing of this most wonderful person

She was so very intelligent, so subtle, so full of a dry humor and wit. I feel that she always told us the TRUTH, even if we didnt want to hear it.

Her clear voice is so distinctive and elegant.

My great condolences to her family, her many, many friends and admirers worldwide

Her funeral Mass was broadcast on C-SPAN and was livestreamed on both NPR and ABC from the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, symbolic of the towering legend in media and Washington, D.C., circles Roberts was.

St. Matthew's was the site of President John F. Kennedy's funeral in 1963. Every fall, it hosts the Red Mass, which marks the beginning of a new Supreme Court term. Two popes have visited the cathedral as well.
