Linda I just heard about your Mom. I'm so sorry I found out too late to be there for you. My love to you and your family. Such good memories of her. RIP Bobbie.
I only knew you through Don Bricko and Larry but enjoyed the time we spent at Jokers visiting; you will be missed by all that knew you. You are in Heaven with the Angels and watching over all that loved you. Rest in Peace my friend.
Aunt Bobbie, there are no words to express how much you will be missed by the family. You were and still are such a blessing to us all. Some of my fondest memories are when I was growing up as a kid. Our families were always together. There was not a weekend that went by when we were not together. We had such fun times. Cooking out, telling jokes, talking about what was going on in life. We even share Fee Fee and Boomer! LOL! I will love you for eternity. My heart hurts with you gone, but I am happy knowing you are Angel in heaven for us and you are preparing heaven for us for when we get there with you. I love and miss you. Love, Rhonda R.
