Gary, Zach, and Adam, the sorrow we feel is nothing compared to yours, but please know that we mourn with you. Bobbie was without a doubt one of the special people of the world -- beautiful in every way possible. She brought so much joy, love, and happiness to everyone she knew, but especially to you, her family. The three of you were the main focus in her life, and we saw that every time she spoke about you with such love and pride. We hope the memories of that love stay with you always. Though taken far too soon, we know God has welcomed her into his Kingdom with loving arms. Bobbies strong faith touched us all in many ways. We pray that God grants you peace during this difficult time. We are here, Gary, to help you with anything you need. Just ask and we will be there. Bobbie, we will miss you. We were blessed to know you.
Gary, Zach and Adam, Words can never express what Bobbie meant to me. She was so kind and genuine. The times I spent with her were always full of laughter. I will cherish those memories always. I pray that you all have the strength to get through this time of sorrow. She is now a beautiful angel that will always be with you no matter where you are. You were all the most important thing in her life and she would want nothing more for you all but to move forward and continue to live life's journey with smiles on your faces. Zach and Adam, mom told me once that the song "my Wish" by Rascal Flatts reminded her of her boys; because the lyrics reflected exactly how she feels about her boys. Some of the lyrics are "My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to / Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small" So when you are missing mom, listen to this sing and know that these are her words and wish's for you. Love to you all xoxox love Michelle
Gary, Zach, Adam, and family. Dennis and I will never know the pain and hurt you all are feeling but, we too hurt with you as we think of Bobbie. We are sending our love and prayers to you and to heaven. God took Bobbie to heaven I believe, because she was one of his angels here on earth, that he needed in heaven. Dennis and I only had the pleasure of knowing Bobbie for four short years but, she left an imprint on our hearts and souls that we will carry with us. She brought joy, love, and laughter to all who knew her. We will miss her laughter and bright spirit during the many Friday nights we saw her and Gary. She put her boys and family always above her own needs constantly speaking of them as they were always at the forefront of her mind. She lived how God intended us to live. She lived as a devout Catholic never forgetting her faith nor forgetting to put her trust in The Lord in times of trouble. If, we can just live one day as she did, we all will be better for it. Please let us know if there is anything at all that we can do. Our love and prayers to each of you during this sad and difficult time.
The people we love stay with us forever in our hearts and thoughts. They are never far away. God bless your family and keep you strong. Love Eileen
