Uncle Ralph & Family,
There are no words I can say to ease the heartache. The only thing I can say is that you are not alone. Aunt Barb was a wonderful person and although we weren't family all that long, she will always be remembered as my kind, loving Aunt. My most favorite memory is probably of the last time I saw her. I was visiting my Mom and Kevin and it was early in the morning and she came into the house and none of us got up. They thought it was me in the kitchen and I thought it was them. When Kevin finally went out she said, "Well it's about time you came out here...you guys gonna sleep all day?" We all felt horrible but those are the memories that will bring smiles to our faces the rest of our lives. I'm so glad she was a part of my life and my family. She will truly be missed by everyone who knew her.

Ralph,
I only knew of you and Barbara through my Mom, Arretta Rieder. You were so thoughtful to stop in at Arretta's service just short of three months ago. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My prayers are with you all as I know what you are and will be going through in the days ahead.

Dear Barb:
I'll always remember your "Special Mustard Pickles". I've never found any like yours. I'll always remember my mom telling me about you and her drinking tea and how you would get 3 cups of tea out of 1 bag. She never understood how you did that. I'm sorry I never got back to Binghamton to see you, but I'm so glad we stayed in touch. I know you're up there right now having a cup of tea with my mom catching up on old times just like you used . I love you so much.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My parents would always tell me when they ran into your mom in the stores and would talk about you and your boys! Somehow it doesn't seem that long ago we were hanging out at the Nimmonsburg fire station chicken bbq and bake sales!!
Take care and we'll keep your mom in our thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Barb....what can we say that we haven't already said. What a woman! You will be missed by so many, as you have touched everyone heart that you ever met. We all have our own special thoughts that will remain with us forever. You certainly made this world a better place for so many people by showing your love and concern. Now you will also make "Heaven" a better place and add your "own" touch. Say hello to all that have passed before you. Thank you for being in our lives.
Love you!
