We met and became friends of Bobbi and Cliff, via flying endeavors and Orville Tosch, some twenty five years ago. We kept in touch with Bobbi until this year and are very sad to hear this news. She was such a wonderful and joyous lady who lost Cliff much too soon. We extend our thoughts, prayers, and loving appreciation for her great friendship and demeanor. We wish her family well and good memories.
