Rest in peace my beautiful friend Bobbi! I just found out the news today after all these years of your death, it so breaks my heart. You were my partner in crime in the young days, I still have my matching tattoo that you made us both go get together, and remember you saying we are “bosom buddies now” I love you dear and am so sorry I was not around for you especially in your time of need. May God rest you and your sons souls in peace. ❤️

we are finally happy that bobby wayne long is with his daughter and bobbi’s 2 sons. it has been a very difficult road here on earth, but God provides, not always we pray but
God answers in His time. Wayne came to me so many years ago and I asked Wayne to stay here on earth, life would get better. For Wayne, his daughter and his 2 grandsons life got worse but Wayne tried so hard to be happy around others and he loved family meals and gatherings. Bobbi, and your 2 kids, so sorry for the circumstances of your deaths, but
we are all happy God came through. Life is a very happy place where you all are together now. Our love never ended we just did our best here on earth and so often our love remains in our hearts, minds and souls. But now, wow how wonderful and do not worry about any of us down here, we all hope God will choose all of us and we can then have the best of the best. Love Ronnie, Shirley Gates, Eugenia, Tripp, Gracie, John Huckabee and the many more my 74 year old short memory can not think of more names.
we love you all, Bobbi, 2 kids, and Wayne
