My dear sweet cousin, we had so many good years together when we were younger and yet….life, took us in different directions. I will always be grateful to you and Sam for giving me a place to live in 1964-65. You had so many more talents than I ever have had and I admire that. We both have always had in common our love for cats and many times shared that via emails when the internet started. Please forgive me that in recent years I have not been there for you and I’m suffering guilt because of that. My prayer that you are well and happy and with your Mom and Gloria now, all hugging each other! Some day we will meet again. I love you, Carol
Aunt Barbara, I hope that you are reunited with your sister (my mom) and Nana. I hope you are surrounded by love and cats. I am so glad that you were near your wonderful daughter in your final year. May that bring Theresa comfort and gratitude. We are praying for peace for your family that is left behind and for your spirit to be at peace. We love you.
Theresa, I’m so glad that you got to be with your momma when she needed you most. I know how hard it is but in the coming years it will give you such peace in your heart to have those memories. God put you exactly where He wanted you. i love you so much. The Colonel too!! I always loved talking crafty stuff with Ms Barbara. She always had the perfect tip to help me with whatever craft we were into at the time. Van
Aunt Barbara, I am a bit overwhelmed as I write this, with tears in my eyes. I heard you had talked to Mom a few days ago and you told Theresa, Mom was getting things ready for you. Those of us who knew Mom would have to chuckle over that. She would have things ready long before they needed to be. Not only were things ready on time, but early. She couldn’t rest if there was something left undone. I’m certain when you arrived there was a lot of rejoicing, hugs and love to go around! Our visits, at your home (while the men worked on flood damaged areas) have been and will continue to be among some of my treasured memories. We had such good time talking and laughing. Theresa, I am so glad you were with her as she left this Earth with all its problems and went to paradise, I know how hard it is now, but one day you will be thankful. To all my sweet cousins, just know I love you and will be praying for you all. Love, Holly.
Theresa, I didn’t know your mom that well. But I sure felt like I knew her through you. I’m certain you get your strength and feistiness from her. Always honor that part of her and yourself. But I also know she had a very tender side. I could hear it in her voice every time she said your name. I’m so glad I got to see that soft side. Sending all my love to you. K
Although Joey and I will not be there to physically embrace each of you with the same warmth and kindness Mrs Barbara always extended to us, be assured of our Love and support in thought and prayer. “Just when the caterpillar thought it’s life was over, it became a butterfly.” Our Hope is that Mrs Barbara May be filled with eternal Joy and Peace and return to wholeness in Heaven and each time we see a butterfly, we are reminded of her and our own journey—till we meet again. Love, Joey and Ginger Songne’
I am so very sorry for your loss. The Bible makes this comforting promise: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted;He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) It also assures us: “Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts and your wonderful memories will give you some relief during this difficult time.
Oh my dear Sister in Christ and friend I’m so sorry to hear of your precious mother passing but the JOY is abounding for her. May the Lord give you and your family and the lives she touched peaceful days with JOYfilled memories. We trust in God’s plan but our hearts hurt until we can unite with our loved ones. Miss you and Hope to catch up with you soon for a run time. Love you dear, Lorraine Schuckman

We remember Barbara being a very gracious and kind host when we visited in her home the few times we did. Ray and Jane Barras
