I also have fond memories of working with Bobbie at DAFM. She was a fine nurse and I remember sharing many a chuckle with her.
I am sorry for your loss.

I am so sad to hear about Bobbie. We worked together at DAFM where she was a no nonsense nurse with a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humor. Then, we work together at Head Start where she was a wonderful addition to our team. I've always loved Bobbie and regret not having seen her in the past several years. I've always thought of her frequently, though. Hugs and blessings to Bard and the family.

Oh, Bill and family, I am saddened by the death of a WONDERFUL person. Bobbie was so rich in humor and overflowing with love for not just all of you but for the general public, which included me too. I loved her smiling eyes and smiling face, her infectious laugh and her serious directives that often guided me in a new direction. Thank you for sharing her for so many years1 Love and comfort to all of you!
