The Walker Family were patients of mine in my optometric practice many years ago. ALL were most brilliant; Bobbie was extremely impressive – a teacher, a mother a community leader, etc. She will be sorely missed by Owen, Martha, Ed, and all the others who had the privilege of having had contact with her.
Pax ,Wobiscum, Bobbie.!
