Bobbi (Abbriano) Snow ’95 was
married in 2003 to Christian Snow.
Christian had just come from a horrific
tragedy. His wife and daughter were
killed in a car accident and his only
surviving family member was his son
who was left with traumatic brain
injury. When Bobbi married Christian
she knew her life would be a little
harder than normal because she
would be raising a child who would
need help for the rest of his life. In
2005 and 2006 Bobbi and Christian
had two boys, Josh and Blake. They
were so excited about having more
kids and having a “typical family.”
