I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to your entire family

Nancy Walsh

Thank you for allowing me to share this day with you. Your mom has left a legacy for your friends to share, the privilege of knowing you and your wonderful family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Amy and Chad my best wishes are with you. I wish I could be there to express my condolences.

My Mom was not “just a Mom”, my Grandmother referred to her as a saint, which was fitting. She was my best friend, someone I spoke to daily.  She was my children's' only care taker other than Chad and I. She was hysterical. We have a long list of funny quotes Mom said repeatedly to us growing up. She never complained, seldom lost her patience or yelled at Paul, Daniel Vanessa or I as we grew up, and we were no saints. Through the years, I would call her for advice, and she never gave it, she always patiently listened and let me come to my own decision. She gave everything to us, we never heard the word no. She lived for her husband, children and grandchildren. With us she had no boundaries, the word no did not exist. She took care of me and my family after 4 abdominal surgeries and 2 c-sections.  She cared for my son, Andrew when I went back to work when he was a baby. When my husband, Chad was ill, she cared for him, and rented a hospital chair to make him more comfortable. She planned three weddings, never complaining just running around town tirelessly getting what each of us needed to make our day special. Christmas was insane, 2 months prior she would shop from dusk till dawn to make sure everyone got exactly what they wanted, then she would do our shopping sometimes for others. Again she never complained, as a matter of fact I was trying to think of a time she said a bad word about anyone or anything, I can't. She never spoke ill of anyone, ever. She was on PTA, she was Ombudswoman when my Dad was Captain, and she cared for my Grandmother for years. She was always there to support everyone in our family. 
When I was in High School every day when I came home she asked me about my day. I remember sitting at the kitchen table telling her about my day, every day. She truly listened, she laughed.  For every tiny achievement my brothers, sister, and children and I accomplished she was the first to shout WONDERFUL. We joked before calling her because we knew she would genuinely screech it.  I will miss her dearly, I don't know how to live without her. Just this week I have stopped to call her twice, thinking she would answer the phone with her usual “elo” When I cooked last night, I said “hot pan” when I gave the dog a treat I asked if he wanted “bones treat”.  When I left the house I heard “Mommy will be right back baby boy” She is everywhere, she was the only person in the entire world I knew I could call and they would come, drop everything and come. My Mother was a saint, and did not deserve to suffer and die from cancer.

Amy,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Dear Amy,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts have been with you, your sister and brothers, and especially your father. You are so fortunate to have such a strong and loving family to help pull each other up. My prayers are with all of you.

We wish to express our deepest sympathies to you.  Leslie has always been a loving and wonderful person. We truly miss her but take solace in knowing that she is now in heaven and we will see her again one day.  In loving memory, Grandma Pat and Grandpa Barker

To Amy, Chad and my Grandchildren, Andrew and Ryan, my heart and prayers go out to you for the loss of Leslie.  She will be missed but is now a light in heaven and is watching over you all.  My condolences to the Carswell family. May The Lord be with you and ease your pain. Love Dad/Grandpa Barker

I never had the pleasure of meeting Leslie, but I do know two of her beautiful daughters. Vanessa and Amy, your Mom must have been a bright light indeed to raise such dynamic, caring children.

Your mother was an amazing woman. She was very loving, caring, smart and beautiful. She will be dearly missed. So sorry for your loss. She is now in a place of no pain. Prayers to you and the whole family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

This must be so hard for you and the family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
