Dawn, Robin, Matt, Matt II and the entire Lewis family,

We send you our thoughts, prayers and hugs during this time of loss of your mother, wife, sibling and friend. Barbara will be missed from all of our lives and I share your sadness. When I think of Barbara, my first thought is her at Matty's ball games. She was a fierce fan and loved him desperately. A grandmothers love that is what I think of.

I also send you my thanks for sharing of yourselves with Barbara and helping Dawn, Robin, Matt and Bobby through this difficult time with your love and support. Many times I heard how you made all the difference in the world to them with your presence. As we find joy in Barbara’s freedom from suffering so do we grieve of her loss from our lives and know she will always remain in our hearts.

Our love to you all,
Shelly and Liz
