My sincere sympathies to family. I had been your Mom (and Dad's) pharmacist for many years and enjoyed every time they came in the pharmacy. They were beautiful people that were soo enjoyable to talk to. Keep your memories of them close.

We were sad to learn of Bobbi’s passing. We got to know her and Fred from our time spent working at the St. Peter bereavement luncheons. She was a lovely, kind person. Praying that you will find comfort knowing her and Fred are reunited in God’s kingdom.

I have many fond memories of Aunt Bobbi and family growing up in Auburn in the 50's and 60's. She and Uncle Fred were always very giving to my family. John Frisella

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I knew your Mother from her and your Father coming to lunch at Applebee's. I was the host there and enjoy them very much. She gave me one of her blankets and when I use it I think of her.. sincerely Moe

They are a precious couple to me and never to be forgotten. Always first to stop there when I came up from Florida and last to visit when I returned south
