I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Bobbie’s passing. I fondly remember our families camping together when we were kids. Aunt Bobbie was always so sweet. She will be welcomed in heaven by my mom and dad. Mom passed on April 21st. She always loved Aunt Bobbie. We can be comforted that they are in a beautiful place now, healthy, young and renewed with God. Peace and Love to you all.
