Bobbie,
I will never forget you. We had a lot of good times at Good Samaritan Hospital. I will not forget how you worked right up to practically the last labor pain with Dina. The world will miss your great sense of humor.
We know you are in Gods hands and at peace. Bless your Daughter Dina and the lovely grandchildren.
