Ms. Bobbie was one of a kind. Such a sweet spirit and would give you the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it. A great neighbor to my family and was there for my momma when my daddy passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Wren and the family. Love to you all!

My Aunt "Bobbie" will be deeply missed. She was a loving and supportive part of my life since the day I was born. She often made me laugh and always made me smile. We shared a love of gardening and sports. As a boy in Ashford, we went fishing together.
Teresa and I extend our deepest sympathies to Uncle Wren, cousins Lisa and Mike and their entire families. She cannot be replaced and will not be forgotten. We are sponsoring the planting of trees in her honor.
I loved her so much. She will be remembered often.
