Memories and Condolences
for Bobby Blevins
Your other Mother/Aunt Fay
June 19, 2008
My Dear BBB,
I think of you often and even moreso recently. I have vivid memories of all the times we shared.
At this moment I want to acknowledge the eternal love of your number one Mother...Shelby Jean Shannon/Blevins/Leedom. I"m remembering when you were in that nightmare auto accident and how your devoted Mother was daily at your bedside for three solid months. She was away from her home (Jacksonville, Fla.) and her husband, Tom during all that time. Tom's son, Mike was in the accident with you and God chose that Mike had earn his Angel wings. As much as Tom needed his wife to comfort him he never complained but drove to Augusta on weekends to be with his wife/your Mother. Tom was a wonderful devoted husband to your Mother and the best of Step-Father to you, Jackson and Charlotte.
It being years later I recall you spent three months as patient in the Medical College of Georgia and then it was time for you to go to The Roosevelt Rehabilitation Institution in Warm Springs, Georgia. You had your own Private Duty Nurse (your Aunt Fay/other Mother) to ride with you in the ambulance. Your Mother had driven back to Jacksonville, Fl. and then to Warm Springs, Ga. and was waiting for us when we arrived. We got you settled in, went out and bought you a new TV, made sure you had everything you needed and even more.
I recall that you couldn't get from the bed into a wheelchair without assistance but it was a blessed day when your two Mother's watched you take your first steps, we both cried. From that moment on we had a hard time keeping up with you , but I know you always pushed yourself to keep going.
There was no greater love then what you held in your heart for your son, Kenan and then I remember the excitement in your voice each time you called to tell me you were going to be a Grandfather. God blessed you with time to see your son become a grown man and giving you two beautiful grandchildren and then you were awarded your Angel wings. In all our sadness this gives us reason to rejoice.
Note for future refer: My Sister Shelby had three children...Jackson, Bobby and Charlotte. I had one child, my son Glen.
The four were raised like brother and sister instead of cousins. Our children had the love of two Mothers always there for then be it happiness or heartache. Glen at the age of 19 was in an auto accident and earned his Angel wings 12/10/1977. It's the crisis we share and endure that binds our circle with inner strength.
BB, my love for you is eternal, memories of you will live on and one day we'll all spread our Angel wings and fly together.
June 18, 2008
Always in my heart and on my mind. I love and miss you deeply.

My Dear BBB,
Hard to believe it is your first heavenly birthday. Time goes by so fast yet it seems only yesterday you and I were sitting here having a conversation. We will always have conversations but just in a different way because our hearts will always know what one says to the other.
I love you, miss you and your phone calls which you called "My daily dose of harrassment" from you. I will always hear the sound of your laughter when you called
me and its music to my ears and gives me a reason to smile on days that reasons seem so few.
See ya along the way, my BBB so til then my love to you and Glen.

Dear Son Its been awhile since I wrote you. I started a letter on the 21st when we got back from our 7day Mexico cruise and Charlotte came up to work on my PC and it got Deleted before I finished It. Maybe I can get this one sent.I feel more at peace about you since I had your Memorial service.The cruise was nice and relaxing and I needed that, I laid in the sun on deck and looked up at the beautiful white clouds and I could see your face looking down on me from Heaven. I know you are in a better place now. You are at rest and out of all your pain for the first time in 20yrs. That makes me feel better and I will see you again. LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS MOM,JACKSON&CHARLOTTE

Morning Bobby,
Guess it goes without saying that I miss you. I sit sometimes and beat myself up for not spending more time with you while you were right next door, but they say hind sight is 20/20.
I remember us going to see the Blue Angels out at the beach one summer, that was really great. Me, you and Mal and then stopping for dinner on the way back was a nice time also. Though we didn't spend much time together, I always loved you. When we love, there are always regrets. I regret the time I could have spent and didn't. I miss you lots brother and always will....love ya Sis

Dedicated to Shelby Jean in memory of her beloved son, Bobby

*A MOTHERS LOVE*
I need no pictures to remember your warm smile;
The lines of your face are embedded in my memory of you.
I gave you life in one second of pain, for which you returned 52 years of yourself---sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy, but always thoughtful.
Sometimes I hear a voice that sounds like you, and I pause.
That pang of hurt stems from a tiny empty spot you have left in my life.
I carried you in my womb, then later in my arms, but I will carry you in my heart forever.
Shelby Leedom
September 14, 2007

hi uncle bobby it's me again just thought i would stop by and say hello and let you know i love you and miss you always!!!
Your other Mother/ Aunt Fay
August 14, 2007
Hello to you..My BBB
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the loving pet names we gave to each other.
You always told me BBB stands for Bobby Bernard Blevins and I told you it stood for "My Big Bad Boy." No one was allowed to call you that except your other Mother/Aunt Fay. I just wanted you to treat yourself better then I thought you were doing but isn't that just like a Mother..always wanting something more and better for her child.
Now! About that loving pet name you gave to your other Mother/Aunt Fay and as you said...no one else would ever be allowed to call me by the pet name you gave me, except YOU! I'll save this memory of the two of us until I write you again.........The cherished memories we made together are all stored within my heart and its days such as this that bring then to the forefront of my mind and give me a reason to smile when I grasp for one.
No real need to say I love you...no question you knew that for a fact. Gosh! I miss you and your phone calls that you said were "My daily dose of abuse."
Like my Glen you're never more then a thought away and always in my heart.
Charlotte

We will also miss your humor that kept us all a family in laughter, even though we all have that Blevins blood that caused some real tense arguments between some of our kin. You always brought the best out of all of us. I know you will be watching our continuing efforts to learn more of our family history. Thank you for giving us years of laughter, wit, and love.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

dear Bobby, It's still hard to believe you're gone. It's easy to just think that you are still just away and I can see you when I want or you and Jackson will just show up and surprise me like you use to.
Bobby some of my best childhood memories are of me you Jackson and Billy playing together whether it was onthose rocks up behind your house in glenwood or the summers at papaw's and nanny's I loved being with you guys. Even after we grew up I always knew that you,Jackson and Charlotte were only
a phone call away and no matter how long it was between the times I saw you It was always like I had just seen you the day before. I love you Bobby. And I miss you Because knowing I'll never get to see you again is sad.I still have your 2 poems hanging on the wall and do have a favorite that I think is really very good.
I know Papaw and Nanny are really
watching over you you were always one of their favorite you know. Bobby I too am glad you are at peac and not hurting anymore I know how much those old injuries must have hurt. you have left a wonderful legacy Bobby; A great son to carry on the Blevins name.
You were a quiet person but you touched alot of lives and I'm glad you were part of mine. I hold you in my heart Bobby and I Know that you are walking straight and tall without a limp or a brace beside Papaw. So until my time on this earth is over and I see you in Heaven I will keep you close to me in spirit.
love now and
forever,your
cousin, Jan

Out of our life a light has gone, and yet we know, if in the darkness God's blest will be done, tis better so. If, in our loneliness we look to him, we need not fear, for love will light the path that else were dim if, he be near. Though he has taken what to us he gave, we bless him still. Through all of life this boon we crave, to do his will.
My beloved Glen and Bobby, it isn't for us to know why your earthly journey was so short, but we'll always treasure memories of our times shared. You'll never be far from us as you will always live in the hearts of your two Mothers
Always missing and loving you both.

My Beloved BBB,
Today, I was thinking of you and one of the many times you spent with me and Glen in Augusta, Ga. I bought both of you a pair of cordoroy Pants and vest to match and then took you to Olin mills to have your picture made. I wrote the date on the back of your picture, November 1976. You were a handsome 22 yr old. I am happy in my heart knowing that I always loved and treated you the very same as I treated our Glen. You, Jackson, and Glen were more brothers then you were cousins. Charlotte was sister to all of you as you were/are brothers to her. Each of you completed mine and Glen's life because he never wanted to be an only child and I always wanted more children. God blessed us with all of you and then blessed all of you by giving you two Mothers who were always there for you, come thunderstorms or rainbows.
I feel no need to now write...I love you...You always knew that for my deeds to you spoke those words the loudest, as your deeds spoke the loudest your love for me. I will cherish our time together remembering your vist two weeks before Mother's Day and after your visit you called me twice to tell me my Mother's Day gift would be delivered to my door...and it was.
Sister, Charlotte, and Jackson..along with others who love Bobby may your heart feel and trust the embrace of God's love and strength as all of us move forward to our own devine destiny.
All my love and devotion to those who have enriched and given purpose to my life... my sister, Shelby and our children...Charlotte, Jackson, Bobby and Glen.
As we hold each other in our hearts, we'll never be apart.

Thinking of you and missing you a lot. I read this tonite and thought of you;
God saw him getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so He put his arm around him, and whispered...
"Come with Me". (author unknown)
Think of you, love you and miss you everday. Love Sis

Hey there Birthday Buddy,
Wow, life can deal some heavy blows. Especially when we are not looking. This is one of those times that took us totally by surprise.
Ya know as siblings we all shared a lot and I loved and looked up to both my "BIG" brothers.
But still, you and I shared something pretty special, a birthday.
Now how many 2 year old boys do you know that can say they got as good a present for their birthday as you did?
In reality, I was the lucky one to have been born on your birthday and to have been a part of your life. Now, I will have no one to share that day with and it will never be the same for me.
I love you and miss you so deeply Bobby and pray for God to keep you close to him because you deserve to rejoice in his glory after the pain and sadness you had on earth.
You may be out of sight but never out of mind or heart.
I love ya brother!
always, your best birthday present ever, (ok, well I at least out lasted all the others, that's gotta stand for something).
love always Sis

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My Dear BBB,
Last night I had my first dream about you. I got in my car to come and get you and when I arrived where you was I was told that I couldn't take you home with me anymore. When I ask why I was told that you were in a safe place, well cared for, happy and you would always be pain free. I drove back home and you were with me all the way because you will forever be in my heart.
Like you always said...I am your loving Aunt Fay. I love you and will always miss you and your pranks.
