I love you and MISS you MOM!! Who the heck am I going to call with all my stupid crap, that will listen???
I know I called frequently in the last year. Guess I was SO happy I could call you and you would ALWAYS be on my side. Whatever ran thru my blood at the time, you were gracious enough to listen. I can't thank you enough for that. I miss you and am SO SORRY I didn't come to see you more often, or bring the boys and my darling, YOUR ADORABLE, GREAT GRANDSON! You would have been SO PROUD of HIM, and GREY for being such a great Dad. Love, Pam

Dad and family and friends of Barb,
I only met Barb a couple of times, but she was always very kind and loving and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. This is a very hard time for all, but I pray God will help you deal with your grief.

To All,
Barb always saw the best in me. I still appreciate that. Her strength and sense of humor are what I will always remember.
She was a very understanding woman that did not demand perfection, but insisted on effort. She was right.
We will all miss her.
I imagine right now she is exchanging thoughts up there in Heaven and suggesting some problems have more than one answer.
Good for you Barb.
Love
Bud

Edie and Jill,

We were so fortunate to have been blessed by meeting and knowing your mother. She was such a wonderful, funny, full of life lady and I wish we had known her longer. We do have the wonderful pleasure of knowing you two and seeing her shine through both of you. It is so evident the she possessed a strength that she imparted to the two of you.
You will always carry her in your heart and she will forever shine through you both.

We love you and will always be here for you both.

I really didn't know your wife well, but I know how sad you are now. I know you loved her and will miss her for a long time.
And for Barb's family, I am sorry for your loss. I imagine it's hard to lose your mom.

So far it has only been family that has written but for anyone that didn't know her and visits this I just thought you should all know that she truely was one of the most amazing women that ever walked the face of this earth. Not just because she spoiled me rotten either ;) She was brave, honest, kind hearted, loving to the ones she knew, and to me the epitomy of the word strength. She taught me to always take care of myself first and that an ice cream cone with 2 scoops of vanilla can solve ANY problem. She was my very best friend in the world as well as my mothers. There is not a day that will pass that I will not cherish one of our million memories.

To my "Mildred" ... I will miss you and love you for all of time. I will do my very best to make you proud as long as I'm walking on this earth. Watch over me now. I love you and you're welcome :)


Love,
Sweetheart
