Condolences

Ruth Niver Earl - Oct 24, 2011

Such a small world and such a coincidence. I read Bobbi’s obituary in the Willard T-J and my first thought was to extend condolences to Carol, Don and Linda, whom I knew from Willard school and 4-H. As I re-read, I realized that Roberta Brill was my first piano teacher. She loaned me a metronome, which I returned to her in Westerville when I was at OSU. She was a dear lady and a patient teacher. And what a life she must have lived. I know you will all miss her. My sympathy!

Betty Carpenter & Family - Oct 22, 2011

To the family of Bobbi Taylor;
The Carpenter Family extends our sincere condolences to the Taylor Family. We watched the three of you grow up as our sons took piano lessons for years at your house.
We will be unable to attend the service, but we extend our sympathy and best wishes.

Denise, Damon, Brad, – sorry to hear about your mother. I always remember how much fun we had in Canada. I remember her as always happy and having fun! I know you will miss her very much.
Linda, Donald, Carol – sorry to hear about your sister. I remember the trip to OK where I met you with my kids and the alternator going out in my old suburban. Also I remember when you came to see me in Texas and we parked the motor home in front of our house.
All, know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Michele Korbas Salinas
