    Al & family,
    Al I was so sorry to hear about Barbs passing. So very sorry. But God will take care of her now and her suffering & pain are no more. She will always be with you thru your 34 yrs of memories, your children & grandchildren,she will be there still watching over you, taking care of & loving you. Keep that in your heart Al and know Barb would want you to be okay now without her, because she’s okay and watched over and someday you will be together again.
