Not sure what to say?

I miss my Grandma BobbieShe was the sweetest, most giving, empathetic, compassionate & encouraging soul. She married my Grandpa Don when I was a baby & always treated me as one of her blood family. She made my life exponentially better & was there for me in some of my darkest times. Grandma Bobbie will always have a special place in my heart & has shaped who I am today.

My mother thought so much of Bobbie. My step-father, Orval Harmon, worked for Bobbie for many years so I grew-up hearing wonderful things about Bobbie. My mother, Sarah, just passed away and I just want you to know how much Bobbie was loved by so many people.

WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER BOBBI'S CHARM, WIT, AND BEAUTY. SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY.

My prayers go out to all of the family at this time of sorrow. I never got the pleaseure of meeting Bobbi but when I started working for the company, Mr. Albertson (Joe, as he insisted I call him) made me feel like family immediately. I feel like some of the most wonderful people are being taken home. God be with all of you.

Joe,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I didn't know her personally, but I have worked for Albertsons for the past 30 years and I love Mr. Albertson's family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Joe and Family
Your mother was a special lady, caring and giving. She will be missed by many. It was a pleasure to know her.
I wish you many blessings and my prayers are with you.

Ms. Bobbie is one of the finest people to ever enter my life. Generosity and wisdom are on top of a long list of qualities. Her spirit will always survive in my mind and thoughts.

Joe, my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. Your mom was such a kind, spunky, and generous person, I have fond memories of her from years ago. Your family is truly where the words "give back to the community" came from. Please know your friends are thinking of you. Another of our "greatest generation" gone. Hugs to you!
