My love and respect to my cousins for the care they have shown for Aunt Barbara. I pray comfort and peace for both of you. Although I haven't spent very much time with any of you over the years, you have been in my thoughts. Be comforted that she's in peace with Uncle Whimpy looking down on us all. Please let me know if you should need anything. I love you.
