Susie, I am so sorry. I did not know of Bobbi's death until a few days ago. We don't get a paper so I miss a lot of important things. Bobbi was so funny to be around, probably a lot like you when we were much younger!
Truly Susie and family, I'm sorry about Bobbi and the suffering she has had to go through but you know she is no longer in pain and is probably sitting around telling funny stories!
