Debbie, Donna and Belvin,
Our Mothers took great care of each other. I remember trying to call Mother many times and the phone would be busy–she was talking to Bobbie. You’ll miss her, but be comforted by knowing that she’s in a much better place and is no longer grieving for your Daddy. Love to all, Sandra
Rhonda and Family Members, I was distressed to read about Bobbie in today’s paper. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to give up our loved one. The only possible comfort comes from a real Faith in the Dovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers.
