Bobbie, thank you for being my best friend for close to 35 years. I have learned so much from you. I thank God for pairing us together. The longevity to our special friendship was the respect we had for one another. It has been rough for me of not having you here, but I know that you wouldn't want me to mourn for a long time, so please give me the strength to get through the day. Thank you for choosing me as your friend and confidant. You are one in a million! Until we meet again ... Linda
