Aunt Bobbie:

I remember her as all ways being very happy and kind and all ways had a kind word to say to people. She was very special to my mom and to our family. She will be greatly missed by all.

I was so sorry to hear of Bobbie's passing. I worked with her at T.G.&Y. and she was always so very kind to me - and patient in teaching me how to play bridge. She will be missed

A friend from OKC called to tell me and it's hard to believe. I was planning to send her an email to confirm this year's TG&Y reunion so I can update the website. Bobbie kept the reunion going and she will be missed. My sympathy and prayers to her family.

I was so surprised to hear Bobbie was gone. I had just talked with her this month. I'll miss her. I programmed for her department at T.G.& Y for five years and saw her often after the stores closed.

Bobbie worked with my father, Jim Cox, at TG&Y. When I was young, I'd visit my Dad at his office, and Bobbie was always so nice to our family. She was the best. We'll miss her.

I was looking forward to seeing her again at the reunion. My dad was Jim Cox and Bobbie worked for him for many years in the TG&Y Treasury Dept. She was unbelievably special to both of my parents and all three of us kids.

I'll miss Bobbie. She was always kind and cheerful. Those who worked with her loved and respected her as an effective manager with a big heart.
