Aunt Bobbie will always hold a dear place in my heart. My childhood was filled with her laughter and charmed spirit. She was a wonderful woman with so many amazing characteristics. Without a doubt she was met with open arms by all of her family and friends. Prayers and blessings to all of those who knew her and will undoubtedly miss her.

Heaven gained another Angel. I'm so sorry for your loss. Bobbie was a sweetheart and she will be missed. We had a lot of good times at the VFW and will miss her hello when we walk in the door. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We shall look forward to seeing Bobbie again when our lord calls us home. Rest in peace until that time Ms. Bobbie.
