Bobbie Lackey was the image of a God Fearing Woman. She loved without question or judgement. I will miss her deeply, but will always cherish her memory.

Mark and Laura. I was deeply saddened to hear of your mothers passing. She really was a very special lady. For that matter your mother and father were special people. I was 14 years old when I met your mother and I didn't know it at the time but she and your father set an example that I would look back on years later when I started my own family. Some people might think it wasn't much but for me it became a life lesson. When I was a kid I had great parents but even though they were professed christians I never really seen their faith in action. One day Mark and I were hanging out and your mother invited me for supper. As we sat down at the table Mr Lackey prayed over the meal ( WoW it wasn't even Thanksgiving LOL) Seriously that was the first time I witnessed a christian family practicing their faith. Your Mother was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew. She always had a kind word for me. I rejoice in the fact that Mrs Lackey no longer lives by faith but now face to face with her Lord and savior. I will pray for the Lord to give you strength through this painful time. I love you both.
