MY AUNT BARBARA WAS LIKE A MOM TO ME WHEN MY MOTHER (MOT) PASSED AWAY. SHE WAS ALL WAYS THERE TO TALK, LISTEN AND CRY WITH, NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. I MISSED HER VERY DEARLY AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. I KNOW SHE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY.

My Aunt Barbara was a wonderful lady, who not only spoiled me, but taught me many things. Family was very important to Barbara. She was very proud of her family. She cared for each and every one of us no matter what we did or did not do. We will greatly miss her!

I was saddened by Barbara's passing, not because she did, but because I didn't get to see her one more time. She brightened my day each time I visited. She was so appreciative of visits and our "talks". I will miss her and I feel blessed to have had her in my life. Loved her sense of humor!

I will surely miss my Aunt Barbara and our "girl time" as she called it. She was so cool! She had all the answers, no matter what the problem was. She was compassionate and wise, and she loved all her family very much. I am a better person because of her influence on me.
