Mary Beth and Tina,
I loved your mother. She was there a great deal when I needed her when things got crazy at home. I miss her. I remember her playing Barbies on your front porch and how she always made you do your exercises Mary Beth! She inspires me as a mother and a wife...Thanks for the memories Babs. you will be missed on Perri Drive.

I am so sorry to hear of Bab's passing. I am also a "lost" first cousin with some very specific memories of vacationing at my cousins' house on a hilly street, near the Paulson field. My mother Sara and Uncle Frank were siblings.
I specifically remember visiting on many July 4's to watch the fireworks. We had a great view. My cousins Gerry and Babs introduced me to rock and roll--first time I ever heard the "Flying Purple People Eater" was in the new kitchen, while doing dishes.
And what's music without dancing in the kitchen --what fun my cousins were.
Thank you Babs for the memories.
May you Dance in heaven with our Savior.

Dear Family, You do not know me, but I am a cousin of Babsy, as I called her. We lost touch many years ago. Babsy father Frank was my mother Sarah's brother, so that made us first cousins. I remember a young, beautiful and vibrant person who was 8 years older than me who was so very cool. I wanted to be just like her. I am sorry to hear of her passing. Bless you all.

What a fun, loving woman! We will never forget the first time we met Babs at Aric and Tina's wedding. She was full of laughter and was warm to everyone she met. We are so glad that we had a chance to spend time with her again in October and enjoy her wonderful spirit and smile.
We are so sorry for your loss. Babs will be greatly missed by everyone who had the honor and pleasure of knowing her...
Love, Jon, Laura, & Max
