away but at the same time it was a blessing for me to be part of this extraordinary family that embraced me as one if their own children, made me a better citizen but most of all gave me love and showed me the way Christian families live.
Our hearts and prayers are with all of you and the extraordinary memories will be with me forever.
Mom, Dad, you are reunited again in heaven!
Sharing in your sadness at the loss of Mrs. Bobbie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love Marty & Bill
Your parents were very special people who made a difference in many people's lives.
Love and prayers for each of you in the days ahead.
Mother told me of your heartbreaking news about Mrs. Bobbie. No words of mine can ease your sadness, as I truly know how you feel.
Our families have seemed so intertwined forever. Mrs. Bobbie was a true southern lady of grace, style, and especially love for her family and friends. She and Mr. Ernie were truly a match made in heaven, and she is with again.
Some of my fondest memories are fond with your family and especially Mrs. Bobbie. The epic Halloween parties in the basement, playing at the lake and river, and her generosity of lending me her beautiful cabin for a trip (which we can leave right here!)
May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you, now, and in the days ahead.
Although no words can help ease the loss you bear, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
With Deepest Sympathy
