I stayed with you and kept Jeremy when Brad was born. I have chatted with you most recently on FB. I will miss you and your beautiful smile. I will always remember you and the love you had for your children and family. My thoughts and prayers go out to your children and family. Fly with the angels Bobbie Jo, you will definitely add joy to Heaven.

Bobbie jo was a very kind caring person I was just getting to know her we moved in next door to her and her family I loved her southern accent and her laugh.She is at peace now and has earned her beautiful golden wings.I hope her kids all know how much she loved them she spoke of them every time we talked and we always talked about our animals.Till we meet again someday take care my friend.
My dear sweet Bobbie, I so wish that we had been able to meet in person, you were such an inspiration to me, always caring and worrying about everyone else, even though you had many worries of your own. You never failed to put a smile on my face and your greeting every day always gave my days such meaning. The morning that your Christmas Card dropped into my letterbox last year, all the way to Spain from Virginia, meant more than you could ever know. Bobbie, you were such a special lady, bright and beautiful, and I know that you will be watching over us all now, as one of our own very special guardian angels.
You will be sadly missed by all..R.I.P. Bobbie Jo
Heather…I did not know your mother but I am so very sorry for your loss. Words are not enough to express my feelings but know you are on my prayer list. God bless you.
Your co-worker,
Bobby
Dear Bobbie, I am going to miss you so very much.. You were a wonderful and true friend to me. Honest and caring. We had a lot of good times in the past couple of years and I will always treasure them. I will miss the times we took our cameras out and took pictures. We were both excited about getting our new cameras for Christmas, and I was so looking forward to getting together so that we could go different places and try them out.. You always had a smile and could always make me laugh. You were one of THE most intuitive people I had ever met. You just KNEW things. There were so many other wonderful things about you. You watched out for me in a big way.. letting me know NOT to worry over things and to live my life happy. I will always have you in my heart. I truly miss you and love you much. I know you will be watching me from afar.. You are a beautiful angel in heaven now, dear Bobbie.. ♥ ♥ ♥
I went to high school with Bobbie and we worked together at a couple places over the years. She was so kind, caring and patient. I haven’t seen her in several years but will always remember her. Will keep family in my prayers.
Laura I know this is a very hard time for you and your family and we are praying for God to comfort you all. Your Mother will always watch over all of you. I only met and talked with your Mom once but I know she was very proud of you and loved you so much.
If anyone ever tells you that you can not become attached to someone you meet on facebook they are so totally and completely wrong ! I met a wonderful person on here a few years ago because she was married to an old friend of mine ! I grew very fond of this person and enjoyed reading their posts and getting to know her ! She was someone I respected , admired and trusted ! We never met in person ! I was deeply saddened and shocked to here of her passing ! She will be greatly missed and I offer my love and prayers to her family that she loved so dearly ! Rest in peace my friend ! I will never forget you !!!! I am sooo very sorry your loss ! May the good be by your side to help you through!
Kenney Lee my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family at the lost of your love one.
Kenny, I am so very sorry to hear of Bobbie’s passing. I was blessed to meet and work with her at Orvis for awhile, she was always very kind and sweet, a fun person to be around. I know that you will miss her, but hope that you rest in knowing she’s in the Lord’s hands now. Praying for you and your family.
Kenny Lee & Family,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife and the kids’ mother. Please know that you are all in my thoughts & prayers.
