I so enjoyed caring for Bobby. She shared many stories with me especially the ones about her children. RIP Bobby
My deepest sympathy to the family. Praying for your peace during this most difficult time.
Bobbie was the sweetest lady and a joy to have as a neighbor. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say. She loved to come over to my garden to help out and to talk with my girls. We will all miss her.
We will always remember Bobby. She had a wonderful open heart.
Love to all the family.

I worked with Bobbie early in my Quincy Herald-Whig career. She was energetic, enthusiast and hard-working. I appreciate all that she did to show me the rope in the “Dispatch” department. She was great to work with and a real asset for QHW. My thoughts and prayers are with Bobbie and your crew.
