Erin,

I have many happy childhood memories of spending time with your family- playing in your garden, performing plays for our parents. Your parents invited me on a trip to the beach and their rule was dont go in the water above the ankles. I remember I tested that rule abit! On that trip we wanted baby dolls and your parents bought them at a beach souvenr shop. Your mother taught me the Mill Stream song on this trip! With sympathy for your loss-

I came to know Miss Bobbie during the time she lived at two different retirement homes. My daddy also lived at those same retirement homes. Bobbie was so good and caring to all she met. I know she spent some lonely times, but you would never know it from her attitude. Her cousin, Judith, was always there for her and I heard Bobbie sing her praises many times. Bobbie was such a talented and interesting person and I loved to listen to her tell of her experiences. I, too, enjoyed seeing Bobbie play the piano each night after dinner with many of the residents gathered around to sing the old hymns and the Big Band music as she played. I will truly miss her, but I am excited that she has gone to her real home where all things are made new. I know that she had many good friends waiting for her when she arrived.

Mrs. Hennecy's English composition class was the first class I took when I began my education at Mercer University in 1986. She helped to define my "Mercer Experience." She was a friend, who offered her unhurried time to listen to a very green freshman on a number of occasions. She encouraged me to think, be creative, to dream, to have hope, and to believe.



This past weekend I had the opportunity to interview some of Mercer's future students. When I was asked about how professors relate to their students, my first thought was about Mrs. Hennecy and the friendship, time, and attention she shared with me.



Mrs. Hennecy was a true Mercerian.



I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to know this wonderful lady who exemplified the teacher we always wanted.

Erin,



I became close to Bobbie & Lois Helen while taking care of Marigene Pursch after her husband died. Marigene's home was inbetween mine and Lois Helen's on Cherokee Ave. I remember Bobbie fondly as she visited and showed love to Marigene and your Mother.



May God bless you as the daughter of a lovely Mother and Grandmother.



Prayerfully,

Mrs. Bobbie, was truly an interesting person to be around. She was always so good to our Mama, Jimmie, during her stay at the Villas. I truly enjoyed the many times I have talked with her and listening to her playing the piano, for those who loved to sing.



God bless her.

Bobby Bobo Hennecy was a very special lady. She such caring friend to my Mom, Hilda Corbitt, at the Villas at College Hill. I will alway remember her at the piano with Mom singing along. Bobby was a beloved friend not only to Mom but to our entire family. As much as we will miss her, I know my Mom was waiting at Heaven's gates to welcome Bobby home. Two precious friends together again.

Miss Bobbie was a dear lady. We were fortunate to meet her and be a part of a 2-year friendship when our Mother was at The Villas. Miss Bobbie went out of her way to be a friend to Mama. She was a positive to us and to everyone she met. Miss Bobbie will be missed. Our loss is Heaven's gain. God Bless You.
