I am sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by your beautiful memories of happy times with Barbara. Draw strength from a promise God had provided which gives the hope of one day being reunited with our loved ones. Acts 24:15 says: "There will be a resurrection..".

Barbara and I were high school class mates. What a beautiful person she was inside and out. I was so privileged to have had the pleasure of knowing her. My deepest sympathy to her family

Sorry for your loss, Brenda, Phil and Bev. We will miss you Barb. We always looked up to you and always thought of you as our grandma. We will never forget all of the fun times we had together. Thank you for everything you did for us. Daisy says She misses her mom too. Below is a poem Barb wrote with me for school. It fits her perfect because Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday.

Without you my life would end much too soon.
You are so tasty, mellow, sharp, minty,
For you I am thankful, especially by noon.
You're bitter, sour, sweet, juicy, soft, plenty.
What more could I ask, you're there at the store.
And when my refrigerator is bare,
I go out in hope of finding some more.
Arrive at the market and find you there.
You grow in gardens in summer and fall,
You fall off trees when ripe and just ready.
We dig and we pull 'til we've gathered all.
We pluck, we pick, abundance is steady.
At the end of harvest, we sit to eat
Thanksgiving dinner, when families meet.
