To the family I give you a note from psalms 27 verse one. The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
Bobbie was a wonderful women who did many good things for many people. I know her from Clifton Springs Health Center. She was always pleasant. We shared May as our birthday month there. We went out for lunch on our birthdays last year at Longhorn. Bobbie did many great things for the new mothers she cared for them above the call of duty. She will be greatly missed. I can truly say her homecoming was beautiful. She was truly loved.

To the Berry family, Ms Jean was an angel. She encouraged me so much. She knew how much I love to sing and she helped me gain the confidence to sing solo. This was huge for me comming from a Catholic upbringing. She always had encouraging words for me about my boys Jeff and chris as well. I love her dearly.

To Brother Douglas, Sister Inza and the entire family,
Words cannot express how Thomas and I feel about the homegoing of Sister Bobbie Jean. It is bitter sweet, because she is now probably harmonizing with Marion and keeping time with Deacon Brantley and Ma "B". Jean knew how to light up a room with her voice and her smile. May it comfort you to know that others care and are praying for your stength.
blessings,

To the Berry Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Bobbie. I also had the pleasure of working with Bobbie for 15 years until she retired in 2005. Bobbie was always so full of life and she always made everyone around her smile. Bobbie touched so many people she worked with over the years and I have missed joking and laughing with her over the past few years since her retirement. My wife and I both feel so privileged to have known Bobbie, she was a very special person to us. Our prayers are with your family.
