Auntie Barbara,

Some of my fondest childhood memories include Sunday visits to your house with Mom, Dad, Diane and Robert.
I really miss our phone calls and you coming to my house for you, Dad and Roberts annual birthday party.
You, my Auntie Barbara, my friend were such a great influence in my life and I will miss you so very much.

Auntie Barbara,

You will be truly missed. A wonderful woman who was loved by all who knew her. I will never forget the Christmas holidays when you would come to my mother's house to celebrate with Papa (Bob). You will never be forgotten.

Aunt Barbara, I will always remember you as being one of the kindest and nicest woman I have ever known. You always spoke well of everyone and always looked for the best in them. You really did make a lasting impression and set a standard for me to look up to.
