To Elaine and Barbara
My prayers are with you and I remember your mom when Barbara and me were little girls and if you had a cold around her she made sure you got over it,I did not have a cough after that.She always had a beautiful smile on her face and she was so nice and my heart goes out to you.

To Rosa and Barbara
I had the pleasure of meeting your mom before she passed and was amazed at her wit. She made me smile by the warmth of her heart. Her kind words were comfort to me and she was the one in the hospital, imagine that. Some people are put on this earth to give peace to others even while they go through their own trials and I firmly believe that your mom was one of those. May the fond memories you have of her keep you smiling forever. She is resting with Her Heavenly Father now and probably up there making all of Heaven's Angels smile too.
God bless you all

To Barbara and Family,
I want to extend my condolences in the lost of your mother. Noone can erase your pain at this moment, but put your trust in the Lord and he will be there with you through it all. God added an angel to his choir. Don't grieve because she is done, but rejoice and be happpy because she lived and brought joy and love to your life.

Allow me to extend my deepest condolences,

“In Your Pocket”
Barbara, you have memories in your pocket.
They rattle among the change.
Your memories of your mom are treasures you will carry wherever you go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole.
They will give you comfort when you think you are alone.
Yes, you will have memories in your pocket, like so much other stuff you keep there.
But of all the treasures you have, it’s the memories of your mom that are the most precious.

God bless,
