So many memories with you both. Some with tears of sadness and more with tears of happiness. We have been so blessed by your friendship.
God’s peace to you and your family.
A beautiful cousin. We grew up across the alley from each other. Always had a a smile and positive outlook. Will miss her but she is in a happy place with her Jesus, Mom and Dad. Sorry for her family.
Our Heavenly Father has called Barb home, which brings sadness… and peace… to our heavy hearts. If ever there was a shining light on this earth, it was Barb. Her light shined for all to see, and that light was infectious. Anyone whose life she touched knows this to be truth. As I sit here now a picture of the four of us hangs on the wall in front of me… a gentle reminder of the most wonderful friends, put into our lives at exactly the right time… if even for a short time. Too short of time.
We send all our love to Roy, and prayers to the entire family, near and far. Roy, we know you have so much love around you… we regret we are far apart in miles, but our hearts are with you… all our thoughts… our memories… our prayers. Barb’s light will shine on, forever, in our hearts.
Roy: So sorry to hear of your loss.
