 I had this amazing opportunity to get to know my mom on a whole different level over this last year. While the circumstances were grim we got the opportunity to know each other as the  people that we are. I got the opportunity to see that in so many ways, I am a lot like my mother, and to my delight even had the opportunity to smile and say.."Well I got it from you." I can't count the amount of times she was telling me I am to stubborn or had a big mouth. Turns out she too was very stubborn and very outspoken!! From her I also got strength, kindness, and a true love and passion for children and animals.
 I will always remember you mom with not just a tear, but also a smile. I will cherish the memories that you have given me, no matter how much I hated going at the time. And I will always cherish the time that we had.

I worked with Barb for many years wonderful lady miss and love you!

I will cherish the times over the last few years that my sister, brother & I have been able to come out to Washington to visit with our family.  Getting reconnected & spending time with Barb & all of you has been great.  It won't be the same the next trip to not have her with us.  But she will be in my heart forever & I'm glad I got to get to know her better.  See you on the other side cousin!  Love ya!!!

I will never forget Barb and I going bar hopping in her red Corvette. She was so proud of that car. I was a little concerned when she had to start it with a screwdriver...Great memories. So glad she isn't suffering any more.  I love you all.

Barb you will always be missed and be in our hearts. Now you will shine down on us from heaven safe and happy in the Lords arms. Love you cousin! See you on the other side. :-)

To Barb's family - I'm so very sorry.  Barb was a true pleasure to work with, she was such a great lady.  Her legacy lives on in all of you.  May you find comfort in the fact that she touched so many of our lives and she will not be forgotten.

Love u nana u will never be forgotten. I know u will be watching over all of us. Heaven gained another angel.
