Mary, Melonie and Family
I'm deeply saddened to learn of your loss.
I don't know any of you, but Bobby's Aunt Jessie is a very good friend and has been for many years.
She kept me posted about Bobby's bout with cancer and I was so happy that he was doing so well after his treatments.
I read Judge Williams' statement in the paper and it was a beautiful tribute to Bobby. He was so loved and respected.
Love and prayers to all of you during this sad and trying...
