Thinking of you, Mom and Ruthie together planning another Baker Sisters performance. Miss you very much. And I am really glad you aren't performing on a cruise ship in 2020 Aunt Bobbi! Love, Denise

A loving, welcoming, inspiring woman. She generously donated performances to benefit the Brookline Arts Center, and I was lucky enough to get to know her and Ruthie Shapiro then. I have to say that our very young volunteers at the events were always surprised at how much they enjoyed her performances and her lovely voice. She will be very much missed - she was such an extraordinary woman.

What a great talent, so funny, and such a wonderful rich singing voice. You will be missed by your nieces Sharon, Denise, Linda, and Amy. We always looked forward to hearing about the next adventure from the world traveler. All the vaudevillians of the family are now in one place, and there's lots of singing and laughing, for sure. God Bless.
