Bobbie worked for John L. Wortham for 27 years where she was a dedicated and dependable employee.  After she retired, she went to work for Kohl's for 6 years, as she never was one to sit idle and wanted something else to keep her busy.

She was known for her great home cooking and won a church bake off for one of her cakes. She enjoyed gardening and her knowledge of plants was extensive. She and Danny were very dedicated grandparents and were involved in their grandchildren's activities, they never missed a game, concert or event and they even received a grandparents of the year award from the Spring High School Band for their volunteer service.   Memorial service will be held at St. Timothy Lutheran Church, 14225 Hargrave, Houston, TX 77070 on January 4, 2020 at 11 am.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn't cry
The Way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too

When tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I Dearly Love

But When I walked through Heaven's Gates
I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne

He said This Is Eternity
And All I promised you
Today for life on earth is done
But Here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And Since each day's the exact same way
There is no longing for the past

So When Tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we're apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I'm right here in your heart
