Not sure what to say?

Our Seton Class of 1964 was always so proud of our "school sister" Barbara. Her academic talent was notable even in high school. Her kind spirit and warm personality personified everything good about our high school. In college, her sister, Lauren, was my roommate at Towson for a semester. My heart goes out to her and all of the family.

My condolences! I well remember the family from my grade school days in Landover Hills, MD. Lost track of her sister, we were friends. Her mom knew my mom. Eternal Rest grant unto her Oh Lord and let Your Perpetual Light shine upon her. May her soul Rest In Peace. Amen. (I am in Lusby, MD, and an ESHS grad as well.) Prayers for all. Susan K.

Jon and I are so sorry to hear that Bobby has passed away. We have so many wonderful memories of her as a friend, neighbor, school nurse and all around amazing person! Love to all of her wonderful family. Tha Zemarel Family

For me, Bobby was a classmate, who lived on the same floor in the dorm, and we were in the same clinicals in our second year. We were roommates for one year, along with Cherie Turk.

I smile whenever I think of Bobby. Back in the ´80s, simply watching her with her own children taught me so much about mothering. I could never bring myself to whine about parenting, knowing she was handling so many more children with such quiet grace. She leaves quite a legacy, not only to her family, but to all who knew her. My deepest, most heartfelt prayers to each and every one of you.

Our heartfelt condolences..greg and joan jenkins

I will always remember when Bobby announced that she and Paul were going to adopt more children I knew that was a big increase in the family. Being one of 12 children I decided to have a shower for Bobby.
