I'm so sorry to hear of Bobbie's passing. She was a one of a kind jewel that I love so dearly. She was not only my supervisor, she was my dear sweet friend whom I have laughed with, cried with and worked tirelessly beside. I will miss her so much especially our 5-6 hour phone calls. We had so much to catch up on. RIP my sister. Until we meet again. Rhonda Sarvis
Bobbie Jean was a dear friend and Soror from our college days. She was outgoing, quick witted, spoke her mind, and was very smart. I especially enjoyed playing spades with her and watching "Jeopardy" with her to see who could answer the most questions. I also had the pleasure of meeting her loving and caring family. I offer my deepest condolences and prayers to her family. She will be sorely missed. ๐๐พ
