Some of you may remember long time JPF member Bobbie Gallup, who moved to Michigan from Nashville some time ago. She has been in declining health for some time now. Her niece sent me this message a few days ago:

"My Aunt was taken to the hospital Tuesday with severe edema and renal failure.. I will keep you posted here. I don't know anything else. I may go down to Jackson next week.. She had been in and out of the hospital and rehab center and then was home.. She is at Allegiance Medical Center in Jackson, Michigan right now."

I'm pretty sure her sister doesn't want much posted about Bobbie on Facebook....
Please keep Bobbie in your thoughts and prayers.

I've been in contact with Bobbie. She's been home for a while and slowly getting better. A nurse comes by every day. Her foot is the main problem now and she's supposed to stay off of it. Luckily, her sister Beth lives nearby and can stop by

Thanks, Emily and Wy:

It is always sad to hear of "Old Hands" at JPF with illnesses or worse. When I saw Bobbie's name on the opening page, my heart skipped a beat and I uttered a little prayer. Thank goodness she is on the mend and with loved ones near by.

Bobbie's contributions to songwriters of all stripes and statures is legendary. Please wish her well for me. I never made it to Pineyfest but know so many who did... and they still talk about the experience with much fondness.

Get well soon, Bobbie,

Dave

Dave, like you, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the name.

Well, now, after a message from Emily, I'm not sure who has the latest information. Emily or me. I'll try contacting Bobbie again today and let you know if I get hold of her

I just talked to Bobbie last Monday and she didn't indicate that anything was out of the ordinary and got a package from her on Friday but she didn't answer the phone and her sister didn't answer either so I assume she is the hospital again. I left a message with sister but I'll try to contact her again

I'm very sorry to say that I just received a message from Bobbie's niece, who told me that Bobbie has taken a turn for the worse- is in a coma, in the hospital on life support. I am very sad. I know so many of you here love her and have such respect for her talent. Will keep you posted.

Emily

Bobbie is the very core of this group. She hasn't been here lately, but nonetheless is the spine of JPF, just like Brian and Mike Dunbar.

Let's pray for her.

Ben,

I completely agree with you; Bobbie's impact and long time commitment to Just Plain Folks is immeasurable and profound. Her many posts, stories and lyrics have helped and inspired countless people. I'm very sad tonight....thinking of Bobbie and praying for her and the family.

Bobbie's niece just got back from the hospital and said Bobbie is peaceful. She is asking people who know Bobbie to send her messages for her to read to Bobbie when she visits tomorrow.

Her niece's name is Lisa Smith Ferriera.
https://www.facebook.com/lisa.s.ferreira?fref=ts

Send her a message if you want, and she will take it to Bobbie.

I know we all hold Bobbie in our hearts with love and much admiration.

That hit me kinda' hard.
Apparently, I talked to her on Monday when she didn't indicate anything was wrong and she went to the hospital on Tuesday, not in good shape
At least , thank God I called her when I did. She's a special person

I didn't know Bobbi very well, but she was active while I was here and I know she was greatly respected by all who knew her. Everyday sure is precious. Prayers and best wishes sent.

Hi Emily,
Thanks so much for letting us know about Bobbie.
She made me feel very welcome when I first arrived at JPF, and at my first (and only) PineyFest, that she organized in Nashville.
I'm sending my best wishes for a full recovery.

Thanks, Wy:

I know both of them will be so appreciative. Dang... of all the people to have this happen to, it had to be Bobbalina.

Still asking the "Man Upstairs" to issue a full return to health and happiness for her.

All the best,

Dave

Oh gosh, I just saw Wy's message about Bobbelina. I am so grateful you let me know though of course heartsick at this horribly sad turn of events.

Bobbie was truly a force at JPF when I first showed up around here and she made me feel more than welcome. We hit it off and ended up having a heck of a lot of fun. Wy MIGHT have been involved with some of our shenanigans... I know one of you two came up with Bethieboo....

That said, will be sending prayers and positive vibes her way. Hang in there Bobbelina, we still need you.

Much love,
Beth

Thank you, Wy:

Beth has responded and we hope to hear Kaley Willow check in soon. These two are long-time friends with Bobbie and stalwarts of JPF "back in the day."

Beth:

Glad to hear from you again even though this is in response to the worrisome condition of Bobbie Gallup.

My prayers are constant for her recovery. JPF is indeed, a wonderful place for friends to support each other. Bobbie provided words of encouragement when I was considering giving music creation up for other pursuits.

Best regards,

Dave

This is sad news, Bobbie is such a lovely person and one of a special few who are the soul of JPF. I'm pulling for you gal.

Thanks Emily and Wy for the updates and info. I sent Lisa a message.

I have to add my voice to this as well. Like others have said, she made me feel welcome at JPF v1 way back when and was always very helpful, sharing what she knew of our craft, and what she thought of what I'd written.

When she and Dawg got together, they conceived of Pineyfest as a way to bring all of us JPF together.

All in all, one of the people who made JPF what it is.

So thank you Bobbie, and I hope and pray you gather strength and pull through.

And thank you Emily and Wy for stepping up to bring us news.

Lisa may have too much going on to report. Anyway, apparently, though Bobbie's more responsive, her vital signs, etc are not good. They're running more tests.
Hopefully, Lisa or Emily will come on with more infprmation

Praying for Bobbie. Add me to the long list of people she made feel very welcome when first joining JPF. I don't have Facebook so if anyone can relay a message from me of love and prayers, please do so. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Bobbie's niece, Lisa, has been by her side, holding her hand, reading to her and playing music that friends have sent- especially songs Bobbie co-write with them...She perked up a bit today - seemed to respond to the beautiful messages, opened her eyes and move her toes a number of times. Keep praying for Bobbie....I will post more later.

Here is another update about Bobbie- written by her niece, Lisa:

"I am truly feeling blessed and humbled by the people I get to meet because of her and the stories I am blessed to hear about her. Touches my heart. I have this beautiful image of tonight in my mind... aunt Bobbie grinning 'real big behind the mouth piece of the vent and her big blue eyes open wide. The conversation didn't feel one-sided tonight as we listened to music and laughed together. There aren't many things that are more important than that of letting people know they are valuable and loved and have tremendous worth.. my Aunt Bobbie has the gift of doing that.. She can make you feel so loved."

I agree- Bobbie has given so many of us the gift of wonderful friendship; she always made all of us feel very special. I am continuing to pray for Bobbie's strength, wishing her peace and comfort.

Yay!! on the numbers. The numbers were what were worrying me. And that'd be great if she could get rid of the ventilator. It's not the same thing but I remember when I was in the hospital and they finally took that @%^&*$# breathing tube out--what a relief.
Thanks Emily

I heard that Bobbie was sassy so she must be returning to her old self smile
It seems she can talk now in whispers so that sounds like progress

Hi Everyone,

Lisa, Bobbie's niece, generously gave me permission to copy her messages about Bobbie from Facebook onto this page. As we all know, Bobbie has created "family" everyone she goes, and has many people here who love her.

Here is Lisa's message from two days ago:

"Its like riding on a rollercoaster in the dark. You know the twists and turns..ups and downs.. will be there but you dont know when.. they just happen.. and you may even find yourself upside down. Ive had a chance to talk to other families keeping vigil in ICU.. one lady said.."we are all in this together.. we gotta pray for each other..you pray for me I pray for you".. and after my aunt had a moment of relief from the tube.. the roller coaster dipped again.. they had to reinsert the tube.. shes sleeping now.. my heart is quiet.. every moment is precious.. the staff here is great.. im just trusting Jesus to keep carrying my heart and keep holding on to my aunt. Aunt Bobbie.. so many people love you and are praying.. may you feel His arms around you.. may you feel His comfort.. i will just keep holding your hand."
