When I came to the track with our midget program, I always looked up BOBBY for a friendly conversation with her while she was preparing for the night of racing. A down to earth person and loved by many. R.I.P. BOBBY.

Jim and family,
We just learned of Bobbie's passing and our hearts go out to you. We will never forget the good times we had with your family during the period we raced with the Quarter Midgets. Your track was always our favorite and Bobbie made certain it was.
May the passing of time help you get through this period. You will never "get over" her death, but with time, may you get "used to it".
We love you all, and you and your family hold a special spot in our memories. Group 88 Racing Team

We were very sad to hear the news just a day ago. We want to relay our condolences to Jim and the entire Nuckles family.

We always enjoyed talking with Bobbi, as she really had a great sense of humor...that I think she gave to her family.

Take care,

Best,

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.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad that I got to talk with Bobbie in the last few months. She will be missed deeply by all those who knew her. I enjoyed talking with her when she used to come in with the books to Fister & Associates. I got to know her through Floyd and Eileen, and her son Glenn. I'm sure she'll be watching all of the races and smiling down.

Aunt Bobbie, You will be greatly missed. This is your graduation day to the Lord. I just wanted to let you and your family know that I do remember the days when I was a very little girl, going to the track and helping to wrap hot dogs and make snow cones. I also remember in my 20's working with Aunt Kathi and the Accounting guy upstairs paying the drivers. The race track is how I will always remember you and it was a great meeting place to see you and family. I remember the family reunions and get togethers with everyone. You will be missed and my memories of you and Uncle Jimmy will stay in my heart forever.

Love,
Charlene (Conley) Garcia
