On behalf of the Creamery Crossing we extend our prayers and thoughts to the family of Bobbi. She was a real “joy” to have as our customer so frequently. She always had something to say and we will miss
those “kind” words when she was able to come in during her good years of health.
We know the family will miss her as she enjoys her new home. She was a great lady and we are proud to have known her
Those days when Bobbi would take her son, Tyson, and I to the Dome 3 hours before game time to get autographs.
I remember your Mom as a delightful energetic mother. We would often visit when she stopped by the office. I am so sorry for your loss. I so admired her commitment to you. Dave Larson former principal IMS.
