Jan, I am so sorry to learn of Bobbie's passing. It seems like yesterday when we all lived at the corner of Oak and Moir Streets: The Spencers,The Cooks,The Smiths,The Jarrells and the Hundleys. Sweet memories of Bunnie and you and your Mama and Ellie still reside in my heart and mind. May God grant you peace and understanding at this trying time. With love from Karen, Linda and me.

My condolences to your family. My mother, Shirley Self Bennett was a long-time friend of your mother. They were in school together & I remember they visited each other before health issues became worse for both of them. Mom passed just before the holidays last year, so I'm sure she was there to help welcome your Mom to her Heavenly home. May God grant you blessings of peace, knowing you'll see her again.
