I'm so sorry to hear of Bobbie's passing.  I just learned of it.  Bobbie was great.  I knew her through softball first and then at Langley.  We both worked at Langley.  A great person.  God has another great angel.

I am saddened to hear of Bobbies passing. My brother Michael, Bobbies cousin and my brother, passed only a few days before her. Although we were always separated by distance I thought about Uncle Eugene's girls. God bless you Phyllis. I'll remember you in my prayers.                                               Love,                                           Linda Corbett Saunders

So sorry to just now hear of Bobbie's passing, and to find it was just three days after her cousin Mike ( my brother). Hope they both are resting in peace. Will see you both again at the resurrection.

Barbara i will never forget you. You touched so many in your journey thru life that you will never be forgotton. Always on our minds and hearts. Will always remember your smile and i always stopped by for a hug. We first meet in 1985. You were by far the best supervisor i had during my military career. You gave me the foundation of knowledge and strength that i still carry with me today.  Thank you for always being there and providing the wisdom. We sure had a great run during the eighties and nineties. Your vast knowledge along with Joyce of JTIDS estavlished a course that is solely used today in command and control. I love you forever! Your brother in christ, Tony Soares.

Your memorial service homily captured your spirit and personality perfectly--your determination to carry on and enjoy life even in the face of each setback. As I listened to the many memories, I was grateful that I had been a part of them and that they are also my memories. Often, when no one else was there, we faced your health struggles together for many years. You are now pain free.

'Tis odd what you remember about people. One thing I remember about Barbara was a group of us sitting near the top of the old Darling Stadium, cheering for the Crabbers with a variety of noisemakers. Barbara had fashioned a horn out of a piece of garden hose and a funnel, and the group made loud, if somewhat less than harmonious noise. Barbara, rest in peace.

So saddened to hear of Bobbie's passing.  Loving thoughts for her family and friends who are grieving.  May she rest in peace.

 Bobbie touched so many lives with her sense of humor and wisdom on so many subjects. She was like a grandmother to our three babies when they were born because we had no family in the area. My oldest son  drove four hours to her memorial service because she meant so much to him. We loved you Bobbie and always will.

So many memories keep tumbling around. Your work for the Air Force was so technical and analytical that outside of work you had interest in so many fun things/hobbies. Lucky Cat and later Tuggie and Baby were such entertainment. You greatly enjoyed many things: VA Tech Hokies; Harry Potter; movies; music; scrapbooking [beautiful photo albums]; Roadsters and church softball games; Bay Days/fireworks; our church circle and retreats; Relay for Life with our bracelet making and Wild Things team. You lived a full life and contributed much. We miss you, but you are free of pain, and we have many wonderful memories.

I worked with Barbara for many years at Langley AFB.. The thing I remember the most is her smile, a gift she freely gave to all. 
 Sincere condolences, Marie Gaetano

Bobbie, I will always miss you. We laughed. We cried. We shared many memories. I treasure the phone conversations, cards, mementoes, and caring across the miles these last few years even as you struggled with increasing health problems. I value the memories and fun we had in Relay for Life, our church circle, trips, and flying a flag for every season and occasion, especially for the VA Tech Hokies!
I am sorry you are not with us, but I am glad you are no longer in pain. My sincere sympathy to Phyllis and all your family and friends.

Ms. Corbett was my supervisor when I first came to Langley AFB in 1996. She was an Encyclopedia of knowledge and a genuinely nice person. I send my sincerest condolences and pray that you all will rest assured in the knowledge that she is in a far far better place.

I was saddened to hear of Barbara's
passing.  We worked in the same building 
at the 1912th CSGP, Langley AFB during 
the 1980's and 1990's.  We enjoyed the
time spent together in the conference room for covered dish luncheons and other social  occasions.

Bobbie made the best stewed tomatoes in the world. That may seem silly, but like Bobbie an interesting memory. Played some great softball games with her and even though we lost contact I have thought of her though the years. She called me "Bones".

Phyllis, 
I'm so sorry to hear of Bobbie's passing. I know you will miss the sister connection you've had, but you will always have the memories. 

With love,

Carolyn

Bobbie inspires me -- and always will. She was courageous, determined, and enthusiastic about living. And so many people are connected through her love of us. Amazing and wonderful!

Phyllis,

I am sorry for your loss. May memories bring you comfort and peace.

Condolences,

Phylllis, 

I am sorry for your loss.  May memories bring you comfort and peace. 

Condolences,

Dear Phyllis,
Thinking of you and all of Bobbie's friends.  She certainly fought the good fight, and now deserves her rest from the struggle.  Will talk to you after you return to Wytheville.

Phyllis,  I've known Barbara since 1981 when we starting working together at Langley AFB.  I always loved her organization skills, determination to get things done, and her wonderfully dry sense of humor.  She helped me get through some stressful times even though she had plenty of stress herself.  She will forever be loved and missed.  Joyce Napier

Bobbie will be missed. May God rest her soul.  We think of her often and will miss the greatest VA Tech Fan ever!!

I grew up in Wythe a couple streets over from your family and went to elementary, junior high and high school with Bobbie.  I am so sorry to hear of her passing.  My condolences to you, Phyllis.

Dear Phyllis:  Bobbie's courageous struggle with her medical problems and your support of her have revealed your great sisterly love and compassion during many years. Prayers for your continued strength now that she has been released from the struggle.... Much love, Rita

Phyllis, 
I have so many fond memories of Bobbie and your family at FUCC.  Bobbie was a special friend to my uncle Jimmy Morris and my family.  So sorry to hear of her passing but her love will live on forever.  Grace and Peace to you.  
Fondly, 
Rev. Tim Earnhardt

So sad to read of Bobbies' passing, we grew up in Wythe together, went all thru school together and even rode in car pools to high school together. Bobbie was a fun person to be around and I am sorry we lost touch over the years. Phyllis, please know that she is now resting in peace and will be watching over you and her cats.

So sorry to hear about your loss.  You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

Great memories of Bobbie taking us to Hampton High School basketball games before we could drive and playing with her on the church softball team. My condolences.  Bev

Dear Phyllis
My first locker mate, and college mate,
Jay and I send our deepest sympathy on th passing of Bobbie. We pray God s Perfect Peace will uphold you. Do you still live in Wytheville?
Sincerely, Claudia L

We were such good friends in high school. Five of us girls shared car pooling. Three Barbaras,oe Betsy and one Pam.  I missed our 50th class reunion, so I don't    know if she was there or not. I have been in contact with the other two Barbaras and found out that Betsy passed away within the last twelve months. I wish now I had gotten in touch with Bobbie before she left us.  Good intensions aren't much good if you don't follow through with them. This will make me more willing to follow my feelings next time.  I will be praying for your family and their loss.
