Still remembering Mrs. Bobo and family today. God Bless you all.

Dear Mr. Bobo, Scott, Sue, Paula and all the extended family. Mrs. Bobo was a wonderful and sweet woman, who my family adored, and my daughters loved to talk to. I am so sorry for your loss, and intend to write you soon sharing past loving memories of Mrs Bobo. I know my daughter Missy was so happy to share the news of her engagement on Christmas Day at church with Mr and Mrs Bobo----and after all the hugs we had to find out the lovely perfume Mrs Bobo wore. We all loved her, my girls loved my connection to the Bobo family while snowbound. The stories I told of those days were ones I loved to share and ones they loved to hear. I will never forget my Birthday present of the Tinkerbell Bath Set. To all Bobo's: I want to tell you (since I know this), losing someone as wonderful as your mother is so hard, but your strength at her funeral today---reading her passages and the last song.....I always think of your Mom when I sing I Know That My Reedemer Lives......I know you have her strength inside each of you. God Bless you, and Mrs. Bobo. Our love goes out to each of you, always, Carolyn (Smith) Becker
