I do plan on visiting her at Riverside at least once a month and or whenever I go to my favorate stoping ground at TBT. Ten miles is not a long way, nor is 140 miles (round trip) to much of a distance to visit a friend. Just wished she didnt pass over at such a young age. She will be missed, but always remembered fondly- deedee91201@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791373253545709506.post-1530771530900903752009-05-16T01:11:00.000-07:002009-05-16T01:11:00.000-07:00Good Evening, I only met Bobbi online, I chatted w...Good Evening, I only met Bobbi online, I chatted with her a number of times over the past few years. I too attended the service at Riverside National, I stood in the background as the guests were gathering, first in a line just inside the gate before proceeding to an area just before the Medal of Honor area, I stood there thinking what a beautiful looking day it is.It was a picture perfect day, not a cloud in the sky and close to 80 degrees. Finally, we were told to move to the memorial area where the service would begin.<br /><br />I was deeply sadden at this point and could bearly hold back my tears, tears for a fellow service member that I bearly knew, that I had never met in person, but who had touched me in more ways than I could count. Bobbi had touched both my mind and my heart.<br /><br />As we walked back to our vehicles, I got back into my truck, with tears in my eyes, sadness in my heart and I drove away thinking, I just CAN NOT do this! I stopped my truck, and I said a prayer and watched several white doves fly over head. As the doves were flying back in a circle, I said goodbye to a friend, a fellow service member and a very lucky person who had touched so many lives in so many ways. Bobbi, Rest in Peace and thanks for the memories you have given me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791373253545709506.post-4177023459631358502009-05-15T17:56:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:56:00.000-07:00eve i wanted to attend as well but with no transpo...eve i wanted to attend as well but with no transpo was hard bobbie and i were neighbors of 20 min distances we chatted on the phone and went out once and party hardy we knew each other feeling about our community and what we need to do to keep the fight going and not be closeted.so i must say my sistah was incredible but crazy but she can raise (hell) with the Lord im sure they got stories hugs Darlene empressdar@ yahoo if you have forgotten me also pray for Robert's soul i hope renee is doing ok tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791373253545709506.post-42636469236193105182009-05-15T17:09:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:09:00.000-07:00My condolences, Eva.

I never knew her, but I always remember those who came before me.genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041499205158357183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791373253545709506.post-86855015592588192782009-05-15T14:19:00.000-07:002009-05-15T14:19:00.000-07:00As sad as Bobbie's Services must have been, I only...As sad as Bobbie's Services must have been, I only wish I wasn't on the opposite side of the country so that I too could have been there to show my incredible respect and love for her. She was an unwavering pillar of support for the transgendered/CD community and will be very hard to replace. One thing is for sure, she will never be forgotten.Breehttp://meetup.comnoreply@blogger.com
