“For me, it won’t. My husband is gone. With all the fear, anger, and division going on in the world right now, it’s so easy to get upset about the lack of normalcy. “
Marion passed away on Dec. 1, “after a heroic struggle,” according to the obituary.

Bobbie previously said they were taking things “day by day.”
“We celebrate every little victory,” she said.
“It’s hard to appreciate those small things if we look ahead.
“In a weird way, I would never want this to happen to anybody, but there has been so many gifts that have come along with having to reprioritize, and there’s a bond we have that’s unbreakable.”
The pair have a five-year-old son, Miles.
He was conceived via IVF after Bobbie’s struggle with infertility.
