Bobby and Shirley were married on May 18, 2008. On May 17, 2011, Bobby carried Shirley to Regional Hospital in Jackon, TN for breast cancer. Dr. Tom Edwards (Best Surgeon in TN and personal friend of the Cogdell’s) performed a mastectomy on the left breast. Shirley was discharged the next day, which was their wedding anniversary. On May 17, 2012, Shirley carried Bobby to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, TN for prostate cancer. Dr. Joseph Smith performed a laparoscopic/robotic prostatectomy and Bobby was discharged the next day which was their wedding anniversary. As of October-2013, both are doing well with their cancer treatment. This is a direct quote from Bobby- “I’ve been waiting on cancer for 66 years, always knowing it was coming because my dad died of cancer at the age of 39, my grandfather was in his 40’s when he died of cancer, my son had cancer at age 30 and survived, and three of my father’s brothers had cancer.”

Shirley and Bobby feel they are very blessed and seldom think about having cancer. They live their lives to the fullest and enjoy the fruits of a loving God who allows them to share their lives together. They are planning on building a new home on the 19 acre tract farm at Blue Goose.
