Dear Miss Bobbie,

I will forever miss our backyard conversations and the snotty comments that we would pass back and forth to each other.

I will always think of you doing the things that you enjoyed.

I remember the first time that I met you... You were skating around at skate palace and you asked me what my problem was and why I wasn't skating! Well Bobbie I promise to skate with you in heaven one day!

God takes you when he is ready... I am blessed to have had you as a friend!

Love you Bobbie!

May the Angels send comfort to your family and friends.

I have very fond memories of Bobbie from 8th grade through high school. She was always a very sweet person; loving, caring, and empathetic. She had a great soul and was truly a good friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. Bobbie made this world a better place and will forever leave an impact on the people she knew.
