I am sending my condolences to Bobbi's family. As a member of the Ullr Ski Club I have known Bobbi since the late 1980's. I was able to attend her wonderful service last Saturday and for that I am thankful. She will be missed deeply by the members of the Ski Club.

I was a co-worker with her good friend Michelle Morgan and we actually joined the ski club at the same time. Michelle was a much better skier then I. I will confirm that many people did think Bobbi & Michelle were sisters. No matter how cold, the two had their beautiful blonde hair with ear muffs. Never would they put on a ski hat to help keep them warm. Heaven forbid that they would mess up their hair.

Like Diane and Gwynne, I too am a cousin of Eddie's and I am so saddened to hear of Bobbi's passing. We looked forward to the updates in her Christmas letters and marveled at her zest for life. It was so nice of her to remember us each year even though we rarely saw her but we always got a letter during the holidays. It was a brief glimpse into her life. We will miss her. We offer condolences to her family and friends.

Bobbi was a dear cousin and one of the bravest people I knew. She was dearly loved by all in the family. I will cherish all of the memories we shared, especially our trip to Hawaii. She was a kind soul and I know that she's now in God's merciful hands. I will miss her and her indomitable spirit. Rest in peace Honeygirl, I love you.

Bobbi's Family;
My name is Dianne and I'm a cousin of Eddie, Bobbi's late husband. I'm so sorry to hear of Bobbi's passing. I know she fought a long hard battle with cancer. I have always admired Bobbi as she made a life for herself after she lost the love of her life, Eddie. I believe she is now with Eddie, again, happy and no longer in pain. Please accept my deepest sympathy's on your loss.
