Pallbearers will be Ronald Morris, Jr., Victor Mainiero, Dominic Mainiero, John Mainiero, Gregory Cancilleri, and Harold Zern, III.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Bobbie's doctors at Willis-Knighton Cancer Center, the staff of Aime Hospice, Bobbie's personal sitters and close friends for their loving care and attention; and to the priests and parishioners of St. Mary of the Pines Catholic Church for their love, concern and prayers.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to St. Mary of the Pines Catholic Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.
