I have the best memories of Aunt Barbara growing up that will be with me forever. I will miss her sense of humor and her laugh. She was a kind and loving person and will always have a special place in all of our hearts. I will miss her but remember all the great things about her. Love you Auntie.

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to see Auntie last week and I told her that when she went home we would go dancing and look for some hot guys and that made her laugh. Now she is in a place where she can dance and smile and be herself again.
