Our deepest sympathies and regrets that we cannot be there for the services. Janet can still remember the times when Aunt Bobbie would enliven the annual family parties by playing the piano and leading a sing-a-long. We will miss her and am sure the fond memories of her will remain even as Aunt Bobbie is at peace with the Lord.

Jim, Sharon, Kevin, Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. I'll always remember her as one of the "cool" moms of the neighborhood. When she broke her arm on your skateboard she became the "hippest" mom ever. I'm sure she will be deeply missed.

Sharon, Kevin, and Jimmy, we are thinking of you and your families and sending prayers your way during this difficult time. Loved Aunt Bobbie and can remember playing with her long fingernails when I was a child. So many other happy memories of her, as well. A remarkable lady!

My grandmom was 1 in a million for sure. There are no words to describe her. She was a loving, caring, and wonderfully committed to her family. She will be missed in so many ways. She was the pillar we built our family around. I will love you always Gram!!
Our visit with Gram on June 16th.
