And I thank God for bringing Don into your life, and we will take care of him for you. Waiting to see you again. All my love...your oldest daughter...Priscilla

She was and always will be a "one of a kind" neighbor and friend. She was a second mom to so many of us that grew up on that one block in Iowa Park. My heart and prayers go out to her many children.

Bobbie was a great sister-in-law. She loved Don, her children and her grandchildren unconditionally and would talk about them with love in her heart everytime I saw her. She was real with her feelings and always resolute with love. We would have fun going out to eat and catching up then on a marathon two hour+ trip to WalMart with Bobbie, Mom, Alice and I listening to the guys beg us to get through with our shopping. Bobbie and Mom used to enjoy their Friday shopping trips and eating lunch out; Mom loved and considered Bobbie her daughter. I envision Mom greeting Bobbie in heaven on Sunday night with a smile and stories of a glorious life without mental or physical pain. Bobbie so deserved to have all of her pain lifted. We will miss her dearly and our hearts hurt with loss; but God's promise has made Bobbie whole and happy again. Love to Don and all of the children and grandchildren.
