Not sure what to say?

Aunt Bobbie as we knew her was a wonderful presence in our family. She visited us often in Maine and was a great joyful influence on all of us. We so looked forward to Ned and she pulling into the driveway in their RV. This picture was from my father, her cousin's 70th surprise birthday in Maine. We miss her. Tom & Alana

I am so sorry to hear about Bobbie's passing. I was Bobbie's teaching assistant at Meadowbrook when I got out of college. Although I had not seen her in many years, I thought of her often. Bobbie was so kind, gentle, and loving. She had a way of making everyone around her feel important and loved. I have such fond memories of working with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Bobbie was our daughters first teacher the first year in their big girl school. She launched them into life and set them on their path. She will always be a part of who they have become. I worked with Bobbie at Meadowbrook, as well. Kindness, gentle spirit, class, warmth, and love are words that come to mind when I think of her as a teacher, colleague and friend. She will forever be in our hearts. Sending deepest condolences to Bobbies beloved family.

Every student loved their kindergarten teacher - Mrs. Leiby was so loved!!!

Mrs. Leiby was truly the best Kindergarten teacher a girl could ever ask for. I was in your class at Meadowbrook almost 30 years ago and will never forget the amazing memories and everything you taught me to prepare me for 1st grade. I recently found an end of the year progress report you wrote. Your connection and belief in me was always strong. I cried when I found it and planned on coming to see you this summer before coronavirus came to our country. Im sorry I never got to say goodbye....

Ned, you have my deepest condolences. In these strange and unprecedented times we can't really sit down and talk -- or sing a song -- but my thoughts are with you and we can look forward to a time when we can all sing together.

I will remember Bobbie for her love for her family and her students. My condolances to all who loved her.

It was my pleasure to work with Bobbie on the faculty at Meadowbrook School. My adorable granddaughter Maggie was privileged to be in Bobbie's last kindergarten class before she retired. My deepest sympathy to Ned and the rest of Bobbie's cherished family.

My deepest condolences. My daughter attends Meadowbrook and we are a family. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
