We loved your Mom! She was so fun to be around and she loved you all so much. We will miss her happy smile. ????
So many great memories with your mom. She was always kind, and fun to be around. A memory that pops in my mind is watching her drive that big Chevrolet with her toes. It gave me hope that I could do the same…and that’s exactly what I did. Love you guys!
When we lose someone that is precious to us, we are left with a feeling of sadness. Whether it is a precious friend or a family member, the loss can be hard to bear. It is as if a part of you has gone missing. Throughout our life we amass collections of friends both far and near. Having close relationships help us feel as if we are not alone in the world. When we lose someone that is precious to us, we may realize that there is a certain aloneness that can never be filled. Barbara was that precious one that was always smiling. This world will be a lonely place without her. She is now an angel that will continue to look over us now and forever. We share your grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Barb will be missed and always remembered. She was like extended family.
Cindy, we are very sorry for the loss to your family.
Barb was a great person. I really liked her sense of humor
Our hearts are broken that our beautiful, kind and sassy Aunt has departed this life here on earth. She has now reunited with her Kenny and many others that have passed before her. We all know that she is up there keeping God on his toes! She brought many happy times and laughter to all of our lives that we will cherish forever, and we will miss each and every day. She loved and was so proud of her family. She was one who made many friends and wonderful times in life! “A life well lived with no regrets “as she told us. We love you to the moon and back Aunt Tommie! Until we meet again.
