Blessings with Bobby and family! It was an honor to be a friend with her in our group The Young and the Rest of Us! The sorority always gave Bobby happiness, especially our name that made her chuckle! I will miss her laugh and friendship. She always made me feel good inside when I could make her chuckle. Peace in heaven to our special lady.

I am so sorry to see that Bobby has passed. She was a sweet lady always and a good friend of many years ago. Prayers for all her family and loved ones.

It’s difficult to find the words, and words aren’t always necessary. Aunt Bobby will be greatly missed! Whenever we visited with her she had a positive attitude about everything and I loved it when she laughed and smiled. I’m praying for comfort for her children and family. Sending hugs and love to you all!

To Teri and all the family – was so sorry to receive the call from one of your moms and mine past co-workers. Barbara and I became very close those 19 years at the state. Certainly thought of her as a best friend and one of the nicest persons on earth. May she find peace with with the angels. Please convey my sympathy to Marilyn.
