This is an enormous thank you to everyone who contributed to send me those beautiful flowers for my birthday. You just have no idea how touched I am and how much I miss pickleball and all of you. There’s a big empty hole in my heart that used to be filled with the love and fun I had with my pickleball bunch…and these memories still bring me much joy. We were and are a family. So, thank you again, my friends…you continue to enrich my life and I love you!
With gratitude and love….Bobbi❤️❤️❤️
