  1. Bobo filled a special place in our hearts. We will always remember his kindness to others and even to our dog Dutchess- sneaking her ice cream. He will be missed so much, but has left a wonderful legacy with his sons and their children.

    Always in our hearts, Cindy, Mike, TC, and Austin

  2. To the family…

    So sorry to read about your loss. I hope that you find comfort in Revelation 21:4… It has brought joy to my family & I during times like these. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
