My heart broke just a bit more when I read this in the paper this morning. Mrs. Bobusch truly is one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met in my life. A beautiful person both inside, and out.I really loved her. My thoughts and prayers to the family.I thank you for sharing your mother with me. I know I don't have to tell all of you, how much she and your dad loved you. May you take comfort in knowing she is reunited with her Steve, and your sister Bonnie, and brother (& husband) Steve Jr. My Sincere Sympathy, Mary Ann Owens Carter
