Bobby, I will miss her sweet smile and kindness. She was so excited for me about becoming a grandmother. She loved her grandchildren so much and wanted me to experience the same joy. It is the birth of my first grandchild that keeps me from celebrating her life with you tomorrow evening and Friday. I will be thinking of you both and send you my condolences and love.
