Bobby was a long time doll friend. She was one of the first contacts I made after deciding to collect dolls. I would visit her on Magazine Street with my small children and she was always kind to us. Through the years we somehow always stayed in touch, occasionally visiting each other. When we had the last doll show in Baton Rouge I expected to see Bobby and Claudia walk through the door. When I didn't I said to myself I am going to call her. I didn't, don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. May you be resting in heaven with you husband and other family members. We loved you!

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Claudia,
I am so sorry to read about your Mom's passing. My Mom and I were just talking about her last week - she was wondering how your Mom was doing. I shared the obituary with my Mom - she was sorry to hear this. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs, Karen (Sullivan) McCrossen
