Bobbie was my sister-in-law until the day she died. She welcomed me to the family 36 years ago, and we were family long after divorce took us in different directions. She was a fiercely loyal mother. I asked her children what they would like you to know about her, and here's what they said;
"Mom was crazy-smart, and beautiful"
"She always had my back, and would stand by me, even when I was wrong"
"My mother was a beautiful person that was taken from us too soon. She is with me always, an influential part of my every day. I'll always love you Mom."
Bobbie is survived by her 4 children, Chris, Julie, Katie, & Elizabeth, brother William Horn, ex-husbands Steve Peterson and Michael Riconosciuto. Husband Gary Reeder passed away in 2010. She has many neices, nephews, step-children and friends that miss her, and I know that she would have loved to go to this reunion and see her friends from SHS.
I remember when Bobby had her first child, her husband call our house and asked my mom what he should do, my mom said "take her to the hospital" in which he asked if he had time to take a shower.........so funny. Miss you Bobby RIP.
Bobbie was the best friend I ever had...we laughed and laughed and laughed thru the years...shed more than a barrel full of tears. I was Auntie Pam to her children and loved them like they were my own. They got chicken pox while at my house. She was matron of honor at my wedding.
I lost touch with her in 1998, when my family moved to Loiuisiana but saw she and her kids for a short visit a few years later...she was in a house downtown and was just about to move to California and remarry. She seemed happy for the first time in a long time...I was so pleased for her...
I LOVED BOBBIE and hated the evil forces that took that lively, lovely Person away from all of us. I cannot sum up Bobbie here...she was more than a friend...she saved me from an abusive husband. but could not save herself from hers. I do not know how she died. but could gander a guess. I will never forget my dad, CRYING while resding the Mason County Toilet" News" paper with the front psge, above the fold, picture of Bobbie, in handcuffs, being led up the courthouse steps He said "what are they doing to our little girl, Pammy? I said she is only trying to save those children daddy and there is no one in that court house who will listen to her. Bobbie pretended to be strong, but was worn down by Steve Peterson, the courts in Mason County and evrry person who bought her a hit or a drink. It is my understsnding that shd had just gotten out of rehab, where she had done well. She would have never left those kids if hers if she could have helped it.
I will tell one funny story about her here...she and a few other people had ended up at my psrents' house late one night during the Chridtmas season. My dad was working a swing shift somewhere, and came into the family room where we were watching some "concert" show on the TV. Dad didn't say much but some how he mentioned Christmas with a harumph!! Next thing I know Bobbie is standing almost on my dad's toes, looking straight up to his face saying"Ho, Ho Ho Ebeneezer,.If you don't knockoff it off I will give you about five foot two of wall you can take!" Now they had never met before that night , I've don't think, and everyone else in the room inhaled sharply and held their breath. Dad just smiled down at her and asked "is thst right?" She balled up those fists,, pooked out her upper body and said "Yeah!" He loved her from that moment on!!
If Chris Katie or Julie want to call me about your mom, I would love to hear from you!! in Olymoia @ 489-0392.
And, Bobbie, I cannot say good bye to you, you silly girl. I miss you very much and I damned near beat you to it in 2005 kid. I always thought I would see you again...I can't help but think of Dan Fogelberg concerts , good weed from his sound man end the songs Souveniers and Captured Angel...God Bob, You were way too young to leave...Pam
