Dear Ken,
We were very saddened and frankly shocked to learn of Bobbi's passing. The last time we saw the two of you was at Yale Hockey last year. The Schley Room will not be quite the same without her smile. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I admired Bobbi very much. She was passionate about figure skating, and always present to observe and teach children and adults at Sunday lessons at Ingalls rink. She was incredibly brave, never complaining about her illness. We will miss her.
