I remember my "Gramma-in-law" with the fondest of memories, She always had a sweet word or some sweets for anyone who entered her house. She had the biggest heart of anyone I know. She will be missed dearly.

Bobbie was a woman of wealth. Her heart was rich with love, her energy was neverending, her good nature boundless, and her ability to give insatiable. She was a lovely part of our lives and we will miss knowing she is just down the street. However, she has left a legacy to her grand daughters and daughter that is priceless... it is the legacy of deep love, joy, and the strength to overcome life's obstacles. Our prayers are with your family.
