Dear Baber family, I knew Mrs Baber in the mid 1990s at the BSF women's class at Immanuel and often sat with her. She was so kind and gentle and compassionate. May God give you His peace and comfort during these days and may you look forward to being reunited with her and the Savior one day. God bless you,

Mr. Baber - My sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family. I know I didn't know your wife, but the kind smile that you have always given to me in the office tells me that she was a wonderful person (especially after reading some of the posts on here). If you need anything - an ear, a friend or just a place to sit and think, my office is always available.

Dear Charlie,
I can hardly believe that dear Joyce is no longer here
I have so many great memories of times spent with her over the years. Sharing recipes and methods of housekeeping, joys of child rearing, learning from her new craft ideas, looking forward to her latest tree ornament creation, Many, many fun times at the beach --I could go on and on!! She was my example as a homemaker! NOW, I am so thankful that she is whole and resting in the arms of Jesus.
Bless you, as you adjust to this new segment of your life's journey.
Warment regards,
Barbara Hobbs

David & family,

I did not get to know your mother real well, but it is eveident she was an outstanding, outgoing person. She had a world of friends. She set a high example for us to try to follow.
I want you to know that you are in our prayers as you try to adjust to a new way of life without her. Just wish there were something that I could do or say that would help during these days.

Sincerely,

Norman Graham
Richmond, Va
