Our hearts go out to the Grady family. Bobby has been neighbors to our family for a very long time. I remember the kid words she shared with us, when Flora passed. Bobby was a true inspiration to Mike and I. The many endurances that she was going through and still had a smile on her face, and cared about all those that she knew. We will remember her and her loving nature. Our hearts go out to the Grady family during this time. Her passing was a great loss, she will be surely missed.
