Bobbie was my first mother-law. I enjoyed the days of helping around the farm with her and the family we shared good times and tough times. When we finally reached a point of going different ways she reassured me there were better times ahead. Years later she wrote me a sympathy card when my mother passed. I would stop and see her when ever I was in the Dighton area. So sorry to hear of her passing as we shared life together for almost a decade. My heart goes out to family.

Grandma Bobbi was the best at helping people even if they did not need it. She would always have after school snacks, even if it was peanut butter crackers. When I was little I would always skip school to see grandma. Grandma and I would always play marbles, go fish, catching popcorn, and baseball outside.
She never backed down with anything that she loved to do. When ever she was watching tv and fell asleep, we would try to change the channel and she would wake up really quickly and say hey I was watching that. She loved the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals.

As one of her grandchildren my favorite memory of my grandma was always in the kitchen, she taught me how to bake, taught me life lessons on being a good kid, I always thought she was just spilling baloney but then I started growing up and said wow she's got a point
