Bobby was a real hoot! I remember the time Rose and Bobby were backing out of the drive ways and backed right into each other in the middle of the street. They both just laughed and Bobby said that she realy needed a cigarette now. because she just ran out and was going to the Belo.

Archie, the neighborhood has never recovered since ya'll left.
Our family truly miss you and we are sorry for your loss.

God be Glorified!

Bobby was like a second mom to me. She could always make you laugh even when all you wanted to do was cry. She was a part of our family as far back as I can remember and will be sadly missed. She was there not only for my mom whenever she needed her but even for us kids. My prayers go out to her family. All of the wonderful memories I have of her will keep my heart smiling. I know she suffered terribly, and god called her home to end that suffering. You will be missed by all Bobby and loved even more.
