Words can't begin to tell you what a Blessing Bobby was to me. He worked with me several years until he retired to be with your mother more before she passed. He was one of the hardest working, kindest men I have ever met! Always a kind word of encouragement. My husband and the Womack family all have fond memories of him from their childhood in Alabama City, too. Just know in your heart that Bobby has gone to a happy place with the Lord and your dear mother he missed so much. My prayers are with you all.
