Miss Bobby was one of the toughest and sweetest people I have ever worked with, and she made the best chicken salad I’ve ever had ☺ She inspired all of us to be hard workers, and lead good lives. She was a genuinely kind and considerate woman. My condolences to the family and friends she has left behind, she was a great person, and I have no doubt she is greatly missed. I send my thoughts and prayers.
