Dear Michelle,
I was so sad to hear of your mother's passing. I enjoyed working with her in the ICU in 1989-90.
She was a beautiful nurse and person.

I’m so sorry for your loss of your mother and grandmother.
Bobby was larger than life with such a wonderful smile and a good heart. She was loved by all!

Bobby was a loving and cherished sister to her seven brothers and seven sisters. She was a very kind and generous person who was always there for you no matter the time of day or night. Her love support and generosity knew no boundaries. She was a happy, fun-loving and welcoming person and will be so sadly missed by all her siblings and extended family: our family gatherings will never be the same without her.❤️

Michelle, Tonya and Family, We were very saddened to hear about your Mom’s passing. Her beautiful smile and enthusiasm for life, will definitely be missed. Bobby was a great friend and Beta “sister”. She had a heart of gold and was always so generous and very caring about others. Her family was very important to her and the proudness she felt for her daughters and grandchildren and their accomplishments, was very evident. She will be missed.
Unfortunately, we are out of town but I will be watching on-line to say good-bye to a special soul.
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your lovely Mother.

Aunt Bobby was a beautiful, fun loving and giving person, and to whom family was very important. She was always there if you needed her, even at the most inconvenient times. I remember one year mom and I were travelling from St. John's to Corner Brook for Christmas. We forgot to get petrol in Grandfalls and also forgot that the other petrol stations between Grandfalls and Deer Lake would be closed by the time we passed through. We knew we could always depend on Aunt Bobby and when at around 3am we ran out of gas outside of Deer Lake we called Aunt Bobby who duly got out of bed and drove out to bring us petrol. We loved her and will dearly miss her.

I was so sad to hear of Bobbi’s passing. She was like a bright light in a room and always exhibited so much enthusiasm and joy to others around her. I got to know her through Beta Sigma Phi, and truly felt she was my “Beta Sister”. She was a lovely person, so caring and friendly. She will be so missed, personally and in our Beta group. My deepest sympathies go out to all the family. Rest in peace my friend and “sister”. ❤️

Condolences to Bobbi's family.
I knew Bobbi in many ways. As a nurse I worked with her for a while in ICu. Then as the wife of one of my patients who passed away too soon. Then as a friend as we spent winters in Costa Rica . Sge will be missed for sure.

We will miss our dear friend Bobby, your beautiful smile, positive attitude, and the many card games we shared. We met in NS at an RV park in the 70's and remained friends ever since, even though at times we lived in different provinces. We treasure our many visits and telephone conversations while u were undergoing cancer treatments. Bobby, most of all loved family. Our condolences to Michelle, Tonya and families. Judy and Ken Clark

I got to know Bobby at Tonya and Sergio's wedding. I was going into town from the hotel at Playa del Carmen, and Bobby felt more confident going with a Spanish-speaker, so we hopped a taxi together and putted around the centro for a bit, grabbing some local cuisine for lunch and perusing local stores and markets. We had a great time!

I have so many memories of Bobby. The two of us were often alone chatting over tea and also had hours of fun when our families were together. We shared many laughs along with some serious moments. The day we met each other was magical and I would like to share this story.
We, the Jones family, moved from Vancouver to Toronto. A few days of unpacking did me in, and taking a break, I grabbed my bicycle and toured our new street, Mayvern Crescent in Richmond Hill. I saw a moving truck unloading at a house just doors away from us and noticed the car in the driveway with a licence plate from Nova Scotia. Instantly I felt it was meant to be that I ring this bell and mention that we also just relocated - from the West Coast. Bobby answered the door and a half hour later we were still talking. We each had two daughters about the same age and they were mutually enrolled at the local Catholic elementary school. That magic happened in April 1980, forty-four years ago.
I last saw my dear friend Bobby four months ago, in June, at Tonya's home. She was amazingly physically strong, stoic and very interesting to listen to with her outlook on life. I loved hearing how her days rolled out with all the action at Tonya's with working parents, busy children and her medical schedule. What an inspiration Bobby always was with her energy, her smile and her devotion to her husband, daughters siblings and their families and also to her faith. I learned much watching her glide through the many decades that we called each other friends. I dearly love her and will always miss her in my life. I see her joy and hear her voice which will never leave my heart and soul.
