Stephanie and Family. My first encounter with Bobbie was when she was the Chaplain for our Salem chapter of the WOTM. She was friendly, sweet, and made me feel welcome. Bobbie continued to be a freind, always kind, liked to entertain us with a song or two, loved to tell us jokes and make us laugh. Even during her most difficult times, she always had a smile, and a sweet disposition. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. May she be safe, happy, and content in the arms of Jesus. ...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

I just want to share that bobbie was not only a very good person but she was my aunt and my friend. I will love bobbie now and always.

I have known bobbie all my life and i know that she is in heaven watching over us. I love u bobbie and i miss u so much.There will not be one day that i wont think of u and how u used to hug me them warm and...

Girls, I met Bobbie for the first time several years ago at the Salem Moose when I was a new member. She was my buddy and friend from day one. I will always think of her when the music comes on at the Moose. I am sorry for your loss. She was a sweet lady and always had a smile on her face no matter what was going on in her life that day. I am thinking of you at this time.

Girls, Your Mom was a wonderful woman and we'll miss her greatly. Know that I am here if you need anything. Love you lots,
Aunt Susan

Stephanie and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I pray that God comforts you during this hard time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. We love you.

No one could ask for a nicer neighbor than Bobbie. For the past 8 years she never had a problem with any of us throwing around a softball or football in her yard, or that my 3 year old's swingset was half in my yard, half in hers! We will also miss Peek-a-boo!
