HEARTS & MISSION OF YAHWEH

 Warner's lifelong love of hearts prompted her to produce a red, heart-shaped cookbook to honor her Supermom, Ophelia Warner, in Supermom’s Country Cookin’ Cookbook.  Ophelia was everyone’s favorite guest on The Warner Roberts Show. 


In 2002 Warner created “A Celebration of Hearts” museum in the lobby of the Dr. Denton Cooley Texas Heart Institute in the Houston medical center, collecting 150 hearts from celebrities nationally and locally for the permanent exhibit.  Her vision was “to provide a creative and aesthetically beautiful repose for patients and visitors to the medical center that will last for years to come.”   See the HEART MUSEUM PHOTO GALLERY BELOW.    In 2010, Warner created an event that is held each year on Valentine’s Day to honor “Houston Sweethearts.”  The award is given to honor those who are serving the Houston community. 


 One of Warner's dearest missions started in 1981 when she  realized that Sister Helen Gay was providing shelter for homeless women and children in two little old shotgun shacks. Immediately, Warner  raised the money necessary to build the first Mission of Yahweh dormitory for these women and children in need.     Warner has worked as a special advisor to the Mission of Yahweh since a fund raising event was started in 2007.  Since that time, approximately $3,000,000 has been raised for The Mission.  


On May 31, 2017, the first Mission dorm for which she raised the funds was named THE WARNER ROBERTS BUILDING and Mayor Sylvester Turner proclaimed Warner Roberts Day.
