  1. Bobbie Sue and I met when Leslye and my youngest daughter, Andrea, were in kindergarten at Roadrunner. Our living close led to car pooling, then graduated to Campfire Girls, dance recitals and friendship for certain. Bobbie Sue was always someone you could count on to complete a task — big or little, but always a “What can I do to help?” question was asked. Early on we shared shuttleing the girls around, sleep overs, and the question “May I—-?” There were visits to see Kendra, my oldest daughter, enjoying the opportunity to ride Barbell with Whitey’s coaching. The house on Northview holds many fun memories. During the recent years Bobbie Sue and I would occasionally head to Padre Murphy’s for Friday fish. It was truly “girl time” and important to each of us. Bobbie Sue’s devotion to her friends and family will certainly be missed by many. Hopefully those that have shared time with Bobbi Sue will have special memories to hold her in their heart as I do. Peace and comfort to all.

  2. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, it brings back so many memories of all of us when we were young, you two young men when you were children and your wives… She was a wonderful , person and always a true friend, I had called her before Whitey passed away , that was some years ago, before Joe passed in 2009, with sincerest thoughts, and love .
