I graduated from Rehobeth High School with Bobby in 1974. I was pretty close to the whole family back in the day and remember all fondly. Frances and I were always BFFs. Bobby was always so kind and polite. The thing that stands out the most is that his eyes were so happy and actually seemed to shine with goodness. My prayers are with the family. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend Paula Mooneyham White

Bobby was about 12 years old when Maxine did our floors in 1968. I'm sure he was here helping her in some way. Such a sweet, hard working family! May it comfort you to know that people from the past have fond memories of your family. May God wrap you in his loving arms and give you peace and understanding.
Love,
