I am so sorry to hear of Ms. Bobrich's passing. I remember her as a tough teacher, but one who always had a moment to listen to me and encourage me. She made a difference in my life.

I was so sad to hear about Ms. Bobrich's passing. She was such an inspiration to so many GBSers, especially the Titan Poms. She was an extradinary woman with such special talents. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Dear Miss Bobrich,
How long ago it was that you and Melsa spent your extra time with me and Sue at your home before homecoming. I won't forget our Pom Squad and all the girls in it. You and Melsa were wonderful to each of us. May God comfort you in your sorrow.

Melsa Bobrich was one of the very finest teachers in the history of Glenbrook South High School. Her commitment to "her" Titan Poms was legendary and there is no doubt that she positively touched the lives of thousands of youngsters as she helped to mold them through her unique combination of discipline and caring. Melsa most certainly touched the future.

Alan and I are so very sorry to hear the news of Melsa's passing. We remember with gratefulness how much support you both provided in the early days of Halftime Illinois. I am also thankful for all the dance knowledge gained through our coaching association -- it was inspirational and helpful challenge. May God' peace help you in this time.

Melsa will be very much missed by her friends here in South Carolina. I'll always remember Melsa's enjoyment of training with her beloved girlz. She & Barbara came every week with the very best treats for both dog & human alike. And of course our Rally Club's drill team - Melsa orchestrated each step and was so patient with those of us who always seemed to be facing in the wrong direction. I will always remember Melsa as a fun, smart, generous woman who lived life to the fullest.

My sincere condolences to Miss Bobrich on the passing of her sister and to all those who grieve. I remember "our" Miss Bobrich as a strict taskmaster who expected our best efforts. Yet she was also very kind and compassionate to me, and I loved her for that. "My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow" (Job 17:7).

I was very saddened to hear of Miss Bobrich's passing, She provided great inspiration to be the best. As a leader she also gave us a wonderful example of how a woman could be both strong and independant. Somehow she always reminded me of Annie Oakly- confident and comfortable in her own skin. I will miss her but I will keep her spirit in mine.
