    Thoughts and prayers to all of Bobbie’s family during this time. She was a character and when I worked with her there wasn’t a shift that went by that she didn’t talk about all of you. She will be remembered by all who knew her.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this time. We have stayed in touch with Teresa during the last 3 1/2 years through conversation and prayer for Bobbie.. We have never met Bobbie but felt we knew her. I thank our good Lord that she suffers no more and she is at peace. May The Peace of The Lord Be With You All. Praying for you and your families.

    Always loved working with Bobbie. I hated when she left the S.O. So missed but glad she can rest now after a hard fought battle.

    After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we’ve shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through us. Bobbie was always kind and giving , She was there for me when I had no one else. I loved her like a sister and will dearly miss her . I know she is with Jesus and will suffer no more. Love , sympathy and prayers to to her family.

    When I first met Miss Bobbie
    I started at the CCSO in dispatch she came over on her breaks to see Mrs. Barbara. They were a sight. I can only imagine what they did when they met again in heaven! Thank y’all for the memories! Until we meet again my friend!

    Ms. Bobbie loved like no other. Work lead to a friendship I will always cherish. She was one tough cookie!
    My family is praying over hers as you celebrate and grieve. Like Leslie said, she spoke of her family fondly and often. No doubt she loved each of you deeply.

    Bobbie was an icon at the sheriffs office…loved by so many of us. Every time and one of our Deputies leaves our earthly home I still hear Bobbies voice coming through the radio giving that “last call” eulogy. Bobby your watch has ended and we got it from here! Rest easy my friend until we meet again. Family and friends know you are in my thoughts and prayer’s during this difficult time.
