Yo whom it may concern. I am of course very sorry for your loss and me and my family send our condolences. My mother Beverly recently passed away last year. My father Robert or Bill passed away in early 2000. Since then, I’ve been doing some research on where my roots or family history. I came across my grandpa's little black book, letters, and found a lot of newspaper articles that are pretty interesting. Also  Ancestry and other similar companies have helped out a lot, but now it’s just me and my sister, so no one to ask questions about where our family has called home, or not even sure if we have any relatives. So I was curious if Barbara had siblings, one being her brother Robert C Collins. Robert had a son named Robert/Bill William Collins, and then my sister Sherry, and of course myself Scott W Collins. Look us up. 

Jennifer, Jillian and Brit, words cannot convey how I felt learning of the news of your mom's passing.  Even though we fell out of contact over the years, I have such wonderful memories of her - not a day went by where we didn't break out in hysterical laughter over some ridiculous situation.  Our lunches, shopping at the Country Store, dinners at the pizza joints - every single moment filled with love and laughter.  She loved you girls and was so proud of you.  Our time in Florida was beyond incredible because your mom was our lives.  We both cried in my kitchen (formerly your kitchen!) while the movers were packing us up for our relocation to California.  It was such a deep, heartfelt connection we had - from the day we met.  She was such an incredible friend, more than sister-like.  I'm so blessed to have had her in my life.  She will be missed.  Love and deepest sympathies to you all.  
Cindy and Michael Scanlon

Sorry for your loss. Didn’t know Barbara very well but sorry for the family.
