See Condolences

So very sorry to hear of Bobbie's passing. Worked with her at Liberty Life for a few years and she was a very sweet Lady and enjoyed working with her. Prayers for all the families.

Barbara was a wonderful character in the story of my home church experience. She was a cheerleader for me and all the youth of our church as we took our first steps in leading worship. She made me feel welcomed in her home and even let me tag along for a family vacation. My sympathy is with the family as you remember and give thanks for her life.

Bobbie was a sweet lady and I know she is with our Savior. May all of you in the family know that she was a special lady and an honor to work with at Liberty Life. Praying for you all through this difficult time.
