Bobbi, the heart of our family, was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), in 2018 after an increase in unusual symptoms. We fought beside her for a year, until the insidious disease was unmanageable. I speak for our family when I say it will always seem like a surreal nightmare and that our hearts are forever heavy. Bobbi’s energy and love for her family and friends were too great for a disease to take away. She is a part of us and always will be.
Participating in Light The Night (LTN) each year has been therapeutic and has provided a sense of action in response to our tremendous loss. Bobbi put her passions and beliefs into words and her words into actions, whether it be advocating for victims of domestic violence or supporting children on the autism spectrum and their families. Sharing who Bobbi was, who she is to us and so many others, and helping to raise funds to support blood cancer research is our way of actioning, rather than wallowing in the robbery of her life.
