Bobbie
We met in 2002 at divorce care and were the bestest of friends ever since.  It’s still so hard to believe you are gone.

You were living some happiness and a whole lot of stress at the time you left us. You focused a lot on the outcome of your future instead of living ONLY in the moment. But that is something someone has to be taught and it has to be learned.

I get sad and angry and experience all the stages of losing someone special. You were VERY special. In the end you kept focusing on all of the faults you thought you had and you kept expressing thoughts that karma was out to pay you back somehow. God wouldn’t have let that happen!  I wish we all had realized that you just needed some inner peace forgiveness when you were crying out for help in phone calls and text messages. I hope we conveyed to you that you were a wonderful person and a very good mommy! You were such a beautiful, kind woman. You were always thinking of other people and what it was you could do to help them.  I am reading a book now that says "you can only help yourself, and leave everyone else for themselves." (of course not children) You were the type of person always trying to Please everyone. It was just who you were.

I about freaked when you baby girl Krista told me she had a crush on my son Dayton last year. I’m like a crush, what’s that mean—she says I Love Him, I love Dayton. I about peed my pants. You were probably jumping up for joy in heaven thinking thtatd be the coolest thing. I think the crush has past, maybe not-but I haven’t heard anything lately and Krista stayed over March 28th for Alison’s birthday. I took her to see GIGI –(Grandma Nora, your mom’s mom) and she gets to go there quite often. That bond between those two will live on forever and ever I think. I believe your grandma came back from Wyoming for Krista! Its very ironic that my mom takes care of Gigi, M-F to keep her entertained and happy! You’d like that too because you loved my mom.

I am looking forward to your mom to come May 6th to get married and also to celebrate Krista’s 9th birthday..

Krista is becoming a great swimmer and wants the Twilight dolls for her birthday. I kinda got her hooked on the movies. I read all the books and am not a reader. Even Dayton is reading Twilight and I ordered him two more. If Krista ever wants to read them, she can read mine.

Matt has been an excellent father for your Boo-Boo. You’d be proud that she is in good hands and that he shares her with us. I hope to get this on your website, it’s taken me too long but I just couldn’t do it.

Love you girl! Always!  The butterfly will always keep you alive to me. Everywhere I see one, I think of you girl. You’d do anything! Miss that smile of yours!!!!
You are forever in my heart- Love Ginger Freeman

Bobbie,
I thought of you with love today, but it  is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in scilence. I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I will never part.
God has you in His keeping.
I have you in my heart.
         I will always love and miss you, my sweet baby girl,
                                       Mom

I was in a hurry to get to work on the 6th of this month, which would be the one year anniversary of Bobbie vacation to Wyoming, anyway my hair was curly and one of the inmates said you look like a poodle! I laughed. The second day Bobbie was here I had her bleach my hair; it turned apricot! It wasn't the first time we'd done this, but the funniest! She laughed and laughed! She had called her cousin and I heard her tell Jo "you should see what I did to my mom! She looks like an apricot poodle" And laughed that wonderful teehee she had, like she didn't want to hurt my feelings but it was too funny. When we went to the beauty shop, I introduced her to Melissa, my hairdresser. They both had a big laugh. It was funny that this happened on that day. I haven't been able to recall memories with out crying yet. There are not any bad memories of Bobbie..I use to pray she would do something wrong when she was a young girl so I would know she was a human. All my daughters are wonderful and I thank God for them every day and I have nothing but good memories of their youth and growing up. I know Bobbie wasn't perfect, she was human. But the love, kindness,caring and genuine interest in people she knew and didn't know is what set her apart. I know she loved me, she told me often. The night before she passed away she told me "I am never going to get to come home, am I mom?" She was meaning Wyoming. She said she could never leave her grandmother with her illness. Even though she wanted to be here in Wyoming, she would give up the dream to take care of my mom. She is the brightest star in Heaven. I miss her so. Her last words to me was "Am I going to die, Mom?" And "I love you" to me, Krista and my mom, individually. It is so hard to recall that moment, but it is one that I will cherish and thank God I was there for. Darline

Subject: Bobbie's TributesThanks Ginger. It has almost been a year. I still think I will wake up from this terrible dream and will hear that wonderful laugh and I love ya mom; I just want you to be happy. I miss that encouragment and love. Darline

I cannot even begin to write what I feel for Bobbie. She was the best companion anyone could ever have in their life. Had a joyous laugh that will never be matched. She spread her love to so many and touched the heart of the world in my eyes. So for you Bobbie Dawn Franklin Im gana dance in the rain, sing under the stars, feel mother earth, swim in the lakes afar...bring laughter to all the children to hear your laughter,smile at everyone to brighten their day,but most of all I will never take life for granted and live each day to the fullest for me and for you!!!!
Love Always and Forever,

Thanks for setting it up.

Hi.
My name is Arlene Allen and I just knew Bobbie from City Market.  Although I did not know her that well nor she me I thought she was an extremely nice person.  Always smiling and friendly.
It is a shock and very sad about her and one thing I found that her and I had in common is love of unicorns and collecting them.
The site is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl.
This hopefully will be helpful to her daughter also.
Thank you for giving people the opportunity to visit.

Hi Ginger.
You did a wonderful job in memorializing Bobbie and the person that she was definitely shows through.
Saddened and still in shock myself, I can only imagine what her close friends and family are going through. 
You have my thoughts and prayers and I hope that your memories give you strength and comfort when you need it most.
