Mendy and Family- I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of “Bobbie”. She was the sweetest, dearest, and most beautiful souled person. I have so many great memories of her, as she always treated me like one of her own. My heart aches for you as you mourn this terrible loss. Know that I will always keep you and your family in thought and prayer…and praying that God provides you with the peace and comfort you need, to get through this difficult time. Sending you hugs and Loads of Love…I love you all!!
