Barb, I am so sorry on the loss of your precious Mom. You have been a wonderful daughter and caregiver to her in these last years. I’m sure God is very proud of your loving care. I think you are amazing. I will miss hearing your Mom call your name with her distinctive accent – your parents were wonderful. God bless and much love, Linda
Dear Kim, Barb and family. Your mom was a second mom to me and you are my family, my sisters. So many memories of growing up together, the sleepovers, the smell of your mom’s roast in the oven, her watching “Days of our Lives”, our mom’s hanging clothes and chatting. They’re together again, as well as your dad and Brad. Your mom is whole again with God, no more pain or fear. She was a beautiful woman, loved by so many and will be greatly missed. Her legacy lives on in both of you, and in her wonderful grandsons. Her laugh, her beauty and her love will carry on through all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. May God bring you peace and comfort. Love, Kathy, John and Kristina
