Bobbi, I just found out you passed away. You were like a second mom to me for such a big part of my life. I am so sad that we lost touch and to know we will never have those incredible times together again, leaves me with such a heavy heart. You were such a fun person to be around, you always made me laugh. I will cherish those incredible memories, we shared so many good times. You are the reason I fell in love with German Shepherds, you taught me so much and you always stood by me, you were such a true friend. I will miss you deeply.

It was a pleasure to have known Bobbi. I will remember the old days and have fond memories of her and her dogs. Rest in peace and we'll chat again at the bridge.

A lovely lady indeed, who brought years of happiness to my life, in the form of her beautiful German Shepherds. Bobbi will be remembered with much love.

Dear Mom
The emptiness and permanent seperation I all of a sudden feel is unrelenting. Confronting reality requires faith, that one day we will be together again. You will live in my heart and soul forever. Your loving daughter, Lynn
