I feel truly blessed to have known Barbara.  She loved her life, our Lord, George, her family and friends very deeply. I receive comfort in knowing that Barbara has been reunited with George while living with our Lord.

It was nearly 6 years ago that I first met Barbara. What started out as a business deal turned into a friendship. How could you not like and adore her? She was witty, ornery, and just fun to be around. It was a blessing that she was part of my life, but that time was too short. As we know, she is in a better place now, but the place she had while her time on Earth touched many lives. She is missed by all who were fortunate enough to know and adore her, and who got the love right back from her that she gave so freely.

I have known Barbara for about 20 years, and she was a constant ray of sunshine.  Her smile (even her ornery smile) always made me happy. She missed George greatly and we know that she is now with George in the presence of our Lord watching over us.  Love Always

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Sister Barbara I will remember you as a nice person you will be missed but I know you are in heaven with our LORD Jesus christ. You are no longer in pain and I know you are having a great time in heaven!!! RIP- SISTER BARBARA!!! We will all see you again soon when the LORD calls us home.

As I set and reflect on Barbara's passing, I remember a discussion we had that she did not want to replace my mother, she wanted to be my friend.  A promise she kept.  She is now in a better place with my Dad. 
Good-bye friend.

You are now in the arms of Jesus. I love & will miss you my friend.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
