Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Barbara: Paul and I heard just today about your mother’s death. His mother saw the notice in the paper and sent that to us. She knew we would want to know…we loved your mom and kept in touch with her for so many years. My father died this year, too; and I am missing him every day. I know it will be the same with you, and I guess that is a tribute to the parents we loved. Our deepest sympathy to all the family.
Barbara—Sorry to hear of your loss. I know this is a difficult time, but old friends like me are thinking about you at this time. You have had your Mother for a very long time and that should be comforting as well. God Bless you and your family and hugs to you. Jackie Lee
Barbara, Jim, Lisa, Janelle & family: My memories of your beautiful Mom, Barbara, are so special. She was so sweet and cheerful to your friends and also made us feel right at home. I know how much she will be missed by all her family here but she can now be reunited with her husband and sons. John and I are thinking of all the family and offer you our prayers and loving thoughts.
