I'm truly sorry to hear of Bobbi's passing. She was always larger then life when we first met at Melbourne. I'm glad she got to see all her friends at the show last month. We all are truly blessed to have known such a strong friendly beautiful woman. The shell world will never be quite the same without her. Chris:(
