I noticed you sent a lot of emails to Bobbie. She loved recieving them especially video she needed that when she was so depressed. Sorry my name is Tom Lane I am Bobbie's father. I hate doing this. No other way to say it. Bobbie died on the 24th May 7am she went peacefully in her sleep. Sorry to tell you this. When we know more of the service i will email you if that is ok.

I found this email when I got home from work today. She will always be in my heart as she was a strong, smart and loving woman. I always looked forward to our talks and laughing at many things. She was going to turn 40 this year and I think I was starting to fall in love with her. I told her awhile before this final hospital stay that I had a crush on her. I asked her if it was ok to have my pagan friends send healing energy, prayers etc...
She said yes that she would accept all the help she could get.
I knew she was very sick and yet I had hopes she would get better. We had talked about me going up there and visit and she would show me around.
Bobbie, this is for you.

Bobbie you left

Bobbie you left before I could reach out my
hand and touch you.
Bobbie you left without telling me how you
liked my book of poems.
Bobbie you left before I could write a poem
for you.
Bobbie you left before I could say good-bye.

May your body rest in peace and your spirit soar
with the Eagles. And if perchance you look down
and see me, wiggle your feathers so I know it's you.
