A little clarification...
This notice was typed for me by a friend in Rome, GA this morning. For those
of you who are interested, Bobbe's friend who was there when she died, said
she actually died at home but she was taken to the hospital thereafter. Bobbe
had been not feeling too well the last 6 months, but she and I thought it was
simply a bad virus. She was up and down. Before I left for a family vacation
a week ago she was to go in for tests to find out what was going on. Positive
identification of the cancer wasn't until last Tuesday, Bobbe died five days
later.
Rocky Strickland reports that Brannon Florist, 706-625-8235, is next door to
Brannon Funeral Home, where the funeral is taking place, and I probably owned
by the same folks and quite convenient.
