David and Becky, Your Mother was such an important part of our community and church during our childhood and I loved getting to visit with her and your dad at church when I would come back home. I am so sorry for your loss. She was loved and will be missed.
My heart is torn, as it is sad and yet happy! Ms. Bobbie was one of my ‘other mommas’. She helped raise me. Was always there for my family. But I’m happy for her now because I have no doubt she is in Heaven, her forever Home. I rejoice in that and look forward to seeing her again one day. Becky, David and family, I love you guys.
Bobbie and my mom, Meredythe Rawls, were best friends for as long as I can remember and even up until mom passed away. I am sure those two are in Heaven, still catching up. They could talk to one another for hours, agree to disagree, but still love one another and that kind of friendship is not often found.
Ms. Bobbie, you will be missed. I’m so thankful that you and Mother could talk every week. David, Becky, I know your hearts are heavy today. Mother, Tommy, and myself are heartbroken for you. We are never ready to let go, but it is comforting to know what a well lived life your Mother had and that she’s reunited with your Daddy in Heaven. She was beautiful, kind, and oh so loving and proud of her family. Sending our love to you all. Myra
