Barbara Hedrick Obituary

In Memoriam Barbara Hedrick If you hadn't gone away 2 years ago today, we wouldn't have such a large void in our lives. You're missed by many. We all have so much to say, mostly that we love and miss you terribly. We think of you as a butterfly and say "Hi, Mom" as one flutters by. You will never be forgotten. We think of you daily and it doesn't get any easier, our time apart. We will forever have a broken heart. We all wish you didn't have to go. Love, your family and friends.

oh my its been so long since I sent in an entry. as you know the twins are wonderful little girls and we all love them so much. and little Bella is growing so fast we cant keep up... I only wish you could talk sherry into moving closer to us. and keep barbie from moving so far away. I would be lost without someone close to me. I know i have larry and the girls but its not the same. I stress on little stuff all the time, can you please send me some money blessing! LOL I am trying to win the lotto..... it would help out all of us, we wouldnt have to ever struggle again. I do miss you like crazy and thank you for visiting in my dreams you are always welcome to come visit anytime.

hi mom, sherry told me that you were dancing for bradan, how special for him to see you and for you to come to him, he knows exacally who you are. we are blessed to have you as a mother and our children as blessed to have you as their grandmother. speaking of grandmas i am going to be one. larry is having a baby, i think its a girl, she is due in march 08, so looks like another pisces baby. my sisters think it will be a boy just like the rest of them (all boys) we need a little girl to dress and love. i so wish you were here to share in person these experiences us girls are faced with dailey. just to get some good advice would be nice to. come visit me soon in my dreams and please continue to share with bradan.

hi mom, things are going allittle scarey with rick hes not feeling well with his desease. so if you have a chat with jesus and let him know that its important to keep him here for a while longer we would apprieciate it. so hows things in heaven? cozy i supose.... justin got promoted to foreman hes so excited and i am so proud of him not to mention larry hes doing so good. i cant wait to see sherry and bradan this weekend.. i feel i dont see them enough. i miss you mom i wish you were here to enjoy life with us and to concor our pain with us... some friends of ours got married on saturday and these times are so special. i only wish you were here. i would have loved you more than not. some times i feel ashamed, but i know its part of life and everyone goes thru it differently and makes some choices that probally are not the wisest. but we live and learn. anyways i love and miss you dearly deb.

hey mom,

theres so much i have to tell you. gosh its seems like forever that you have been with jesus. its hard on all of us that you are in heaven. the kids are growing especially bradan hes so handsome and ricky hes getting so big and larry he started working and making some good money, you would be proud. all three of your daughters are staying closer than ever. we know how painful it is to loose someone you love dearly and we tell eachother we love eachother daily. i cant wait to see you and dad. by the way tell all our grandparents hello for me. i love you and miss like crazy. love deb
