Dear Mr. Bobo, Scott, Sue, Paula and all the extended family. Mrs. Bobo was a wonderful and sweet woman, who my family adored, and my daughters loved to talk to. I am so sorry for your loss, and intend to write you soon sharing past loving memories of Mrs Bobo. I know my daughter Missy was so happy to share the news of her engagement on Christmas Day at church with Mr and Mrs Bobo----and after all the hugs we had to find out the lovely perfume Mrs Bobo wore. We all loved her, my girls loved...

Know that we have always cherished our ten years as neighbors and we'll have fun memories forever in our hearts.
Sending prayers for comfort and lots of love!
