Mike and family...On behalf of my Mom, Jeanette Hagstrom and myself we would like to extend our sympathy to you in the lost of your dear Mother. As you know Mom knew your Mom from "way back when" they both attended Ballard High School in the 1940's. While they hadn't seen each other for years they reconnected while my Dad was at Arden Rehab where your Mom has been for several years. Since our Mom's reconnected in 2008 their friendship rekindled and continued until now. My Dad, my Mom and myself were very close...and it was so evident how much you loved your Mother by your daily attendance to her every need and the long hours you spent with her - which gave her great joy and pride in such a wonderful son. Any and every mother would be so blessed to have a son that loved his Mother as much as you! God Bless you as you travel this journey of loss - always remembering and cherishing the memories and keeping her close in your heart. Someone gave me a plaque when Dad passed that reads "When someone you love passes on you now have an Angel you personally know"...Your Mom will Rest In Peace because of the peace you gave her every single day! Bev Hagstrom and Jeanette Hagstrom

I was a former neighbor of Bobbie, whose sister married my cousin Howdy. I always remember her as having a bubbly enthusiasm for life. My sympathy to all her family.

Bobbie, my favorite aunt, my mom's canasta player, a sweet woman always with a smile, a giggle, a silly sense of humor and an infectious laugh. She showed me that tuna fish sandwiches can be made with mayo instead of Miracle Whip like my mom used. She was a gentle soul and I will miss her forever. May you rest in peace, Bobbie, and keep playing cards now with my mom. Car
