  5. Aunt Elsie, I don’t have the words to express to you how much I loved Uncle Bobby and will miss him, his texts and our conversations his endearment as long as I can remember, Baby Girl. He was my advisor, my cheer leader, confidant, Uncle and friend. He will be remembered, loved and cherished as long as I have a heartbeat. I pray he is with our Lord and Savior and is having a reunion with our family that has gone before us. That I too will rejoice with him again one day as will you.
    Elsie, Uncle Bobby spoke of how much he loved you and was grateful for you and your loving care. I am so glad he had you and you took such good care of him over the years. May I share a memory with you that I hope makes you laugh. Uncle Bobby and I took a walk/hike through the “meadow” more like brambles looking for marijuana plants, he was afraid someone was growing it on his “farm”. We did not find any, only chiggers. That same day, you and I went to the barn, and you started up the tractor and drove it down to the “holler” where “the boys” got the jeep stuck on a tree. What a fun day and great memory, now a treasure. Hold yourself real tight, that is a hug from me to you and Uncle Bobby too. Love always, Debbie

  6. I am thankful that Bobby and I were able to reconnect so many years after high school, even if it was just on Facebook.
