Bobbe Needham’s memoir dedicated to her daughter Liz, who passed away in 1999.
• Well loved and dearly missed island resident Bobbe Needham passed away on Wednesday, June 6th. Very involved in the singing community, Bobbe will be remembered for her beautiful voice and vivacious personality.
After learning of her diagnosis with cancer, she finished the memoir she had been working on for many years. Her book “Love/Liz” is available through Amazon.com and select island retailers. We miss you, Bobbe.

• Look out for wild strawberries, they are just starting to ripen up! They won’t look anything like these beauties that are grown on my deck (pictured below) but they make a lovely snack if you’re hiking around the island.
Home grown, freshly picked strawberries. Thank you mama for letting me raid your patch!
