It is a very difficult path ahead for you but just know there are many people praying for you. God bless all of you
I just learned of Barbara’s passing. I played with her & her sisters growing up & we all graduated from FSHS together. We have been apart for many years but I still considered her a good friend. The memorial video brought back a lot of happy memories. My thouhts & prayers are with the entire family. God Bless

Robert, just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother is in a beautiful place now and may that bring you comfort.
Every moment that you spent with your mother will be revisited and relished as time passes. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I wanted you all to know how much we will miss seeing Barbara at the office, always smiling no matter how bad she felt. I know it will be an adjustment for you all going on without her but you can have peace knowing she is now in the arms of Jesus. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
