Barbara I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have known you and enjoyed many gatherings with you at Stella's home.  I admired you so much for your kindness and goodness and most of all for your love of life.    You were such a warm, friendly and loving person.  May you rest in peace in God's loving arms.

Aunt Babs, I will forever cherish the memories I had from meeting you. You were always such a kind and loving person, and I am honored to have you as a part of my family. Those memories will always remain with me. You will forever be missed, and I cannot wait to catch up on all the missed time when we meet again upstairs.

Babs, you are a Saint to me. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints. We love you always.

To Babs, Rest in Peace in the arms of the Lord. Missing someone, can really give sad and lonely feelings. However despite the varied feelings out there,thinking of you makes me feel warm and lucky inside that you were someone very special I got to know way way back then.
You will be missed not only in my life,but I am sure I speak for many others as well.
Rest in peace!

It was a pleasure and honor to know you Ms. Barbara! I love you so much!

Dearest Stella and Marisela, I am grateful to have met your Sister / Tia. She was a beautiful soul. I know she left this world with love as she lived with love. I'm sorry for your loss. I love you.

Well Queen B, I must first say thank you for these past 3yrs & 4mths of love. No you've never actually told me with words but your energy told me everyday just how important our friendship was. The smiles you gave me, the looks of approval & appreciation & even your mad face !!! One things for sure, you were there. Your spirit was so strong & your positive energy was the only thing that kept me going some days. I even enjoyed the times you visited me in my dreams. We're truly SOUL SISTAHS & you meant the world to me. Don't worry, that promise I made to you in those last hours I will keep it❤ It was truly a pleasure & an honor to be there for you & be your friend and thank you for being so kind and loving to me and my family. You are FOREVER in my heart & I hope you're waiting at that beautiful golden gate ready to give me a hug when I make it up there... then you can finally tell me everything you wanted to make me laugh about cause I'm sure it's a lot. Anyway, you know our conversation can go on for hours but until we meet again... I love you ( big whapa chapa legs) insider
