Susan and I have numerous happy memories of days together with Bobbie and Jan in Texas. Among these are many wonderful dinners together at area restaurants where we would arrive via the Ivey's boat or RV. We never had to plan on what we would do on Friday nights because we had standing plans for eating out with the Ivey's and Markey's. Other memories include many trips to Caribbean islands with Bobbie and Jan...we visited most of them. Bobbie would love to sit in the sand and sun, looking at the ocean for hours while reading her books. These are just a few of our happy memories that we have of Bobbie. We hope your fond memories will give you comfort in the days to come and keep her alive in your hearts. Phil & Susan Murphree
