Bobbi Sue Drake

You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Bobbi Sue Drake was a loving Mother, Daughter, Granddaughter, and friend passed away at the age of 39 at her father’s home. Bobbi is survived by her loving children Kenni, Koleton, and Chase, Father Harlan Willis, Mother Robin Gildehaus, Stepfather Dennis Gildehaus, Sisters Jamie and Charlene, Stepbrothers Dennis and Ryan Gildehaus, Grandmother Margie, Grandmother Laverne, and Grandfather Edward. She also leaves behind many other close family and friends. Bobbi loved spending time with her children and family. She particularly loved spending time at the stables with her horses and friends taking pleasure in some of the more serene aspects of life. She is fondly remembered for her infectious laugh and loving smile that will forever be missed. We will eternally remember her compassion and kindness for those she loved. Her family would like to thank everyone for their support and prayers during this difficult time.
