"My thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Bobbie, Robbie and Shelly and to Mandy, Kelly and Sam and to ALL her great grandchildren because I know just how happy she was to care for her grandchildren first and then the great grandchildren, she and Bobbie showered all the grandchildren with endless love because they kept them young, they are so proud of what and who, each one of them have become! No grandparents could be prouder! And when it comes to Bob her devoted husband and best friend the love they shared with each other was priceless to witness! I will miss her terribly!
