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.
