Sweetest Nanny Bobby!  Known her pretty much my entire life!  My children and grandchildren have become part of her growing family of grands and greats!  She welcomed them all and if she didn’t see them for a while, she’d always ask about them!  Never missing an opportunity to also include my German Shepherd into her thoughts as she had her belived Queenie while I was growing up!  She did love her pets (and yours too) and they loved her too!  Kobe was by her side through her illness, always kissing and making she sure was okay! Nanny, you are one of a kind who we lose another to illness, we have your memories to always have close at hand!  Your hair being one of my favorite memories!  Even as recently as Dec 16 when we all gathered for our girls cookie exchange, I helped you put on our matching shirts and you said, Be careful not to mess up my hair!!!  I’ll be careful – and now it’s perfect as ever – always….  I also love to recall our times at Maple Grove swimming pool, you always had the best tan, your hair was perfect as you sun bathed!  Because it needed to be for your shift that night at The Village!  One of a kind – just my kind!  Love you and will miss my beautiful Nanny Bobby! Until you welcome me right there beside Mom and Dad, have fun with them all, you’re with a pretty awesome bunch up there! Much love, Kasey

Bobby!!! She was an amazing, kind, funny, generous soul! Village Niteclub, “Sharkin”, always a good time. She knew how to make you laugh. You would hear laughter in the club, and you knew Bobby was somewhere near. The staff as a whole were on point. Thank you for some of the best memories ever. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. She definitely touched many hearts. Rest In Peace Bobby. You were loved and you will be missed.
