How do people feel about Roberto being released in Chapter Four of The Giver?

It is Larissa who tells Jonas about the Celebration of
Release for Roberto in The
Giver.

"It was
wonderful."

Roberto's life
was discussed in detail prior to his Release. He had been an important man before
becoming Old. He had been an instructor of Elevens, a member of the Planning Committee,
and the landscape designer for the Central Plaza. He had raised two children as well.
After the telling of his life, a toast was made, and the anthem was chanted. Roberto
gave a good-bye speech, and others made farewell speeches to
him.

"He was
thrilled. You should have seen the look on his face when they let him go... Pure
happiness, I'd call
it."

Jonas had one important
question for Larissa: He wondered where Roberto was sent when he was released, but
Larissa did not know.
