  11. Bobby was something else,the first time I meet him with my friend Nancy he said his name was Bob Marley , I said oh I like the singer he said no like me Bob Marley. We became instant friends ,he always welcomed me with that friendly hug and ask if I was keeping things straight down my way. He was always willing to offer me the advise aka fatherly/friendly advise of how the men should treat us ladies. I will miss you dearly ,and will think of you often , I will remember our talks and your warnings. Go Rest High my friend and don’t worry about Willie we will help him find his way. Love you thanks for the laughter.
