We're devastated to hear of Bobby's death. Recently she had been turning up at local sessions (along with Simon and son William) so we'd seen quite a lot of her; after her sudden hospitalisation we'd still see Simon every week and we'd be asking how she was. Our band had started working with her as a caller from time to time. In June Mary and I were in Thaxted and got a tour of their wonderful home, and she was telling us about all her plans for it - in short, we were really getting to know her as a friend.
Many of us will miss her bubbly and forthright personality, and she's going to leave a huge gap in many people's lives.
