Bobbie was my cousin, who followed her dreams and became a dancer. We were all so proud of her, and when she built her dance studio, it was a great new chapter of her life. I'm so sorry she left us so early. We all miss her.

Bobbi and I roomed together in NYC. I learned so much from her about housecleaning, ballet, music, Christian Science. We had lost touch in the last few years. The thought came to me to look her up. So I went on the internet October, 2006 and the first thing that came up was her obituary. I am so sad that I lost touch with her. She was a wonderful person. I am grateful that the lovely qualities she possessed and herbeauty will never die.
