My Grandma thought it was very important to leave memories of her life for future generations. She wrote many books of all our family history. Things like that are irreplaceable and Im happy to have received one. She made so many gifts, that she put her time and thought into. Even though she lived far, we still knew she cared because of the time and care she put into our homeade gifts. I love you Grandma always

Barbara and I met in 1943 at Norris School, (the building that is now at the Kern County Museum). We became friends and remained friends throughout the years. Barbara was a wonderful person and I know that she will be deeply missed by all who loved her. My love and prayers go out to the family .

Sorry about the loss of Connie's mother. She was a very lovely lady. May she rest in peace. If Connie is anything like her mother, she had to be a wonderful lady. Connie is married to my cousin Danny Tosti in Bakersfield, CA.
