I have something embarrassing to tell you, my friends.

Great story, or should I say legacy Bobbie!

So props to you! I always thought of you has such a sweet and kind full person.
I was very proud and fortunate to call you my friend.
Again, thank you for sharing this inspirational story.
Thank you Beth!
Thank you for sharing your story Bobbie. It is a beautiful story. I wanted to be named “Bobbie” when I was growing up. I’m glad the name went to you. A name is so much better when there is so much history and love behind it.
Aww thank you Renee. I think you are beautiful and have a beautiful name to match. Plus you have much better fashion sense than I will ever have!
