Not sure what to say?

For forty plus years you were always a part of my life. Watching your family grow up. Here for me whenever I needed advice or just to talk to. Knowing you were there no matter how much time went by.
Beautiful heart I Love You
Barbara Toohey

Barbara,
This is a very difficult time for me. I am emotionally destroyed and I have had time to really reflect on the true positive impact you have had on my life at the most darkest hours. Taking time out to consult with me to ask me " If I am ok". I couldn't face you anymore because you showed me cared about me like I was your own damn son! I've sat on your steps with you, and I've listened to very few others. You new how to approach me and make me believe their is hope and Michael...

Barb was a great colleague, a wonderful lady and fun to be with.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I always looked forward to seeing Mrs. Toohey at Nicole’s house for the parties. She was a great lady and she loved her children and grandchildren fiercely. She was always on the go - never content to sit still. I have no doubt she is up in heaven dancing with all the angels, especially with her sister. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nicole, Sean, Dan, Alice, Grace, Max and Ayla - may your memories give you comfort.❤

Aunt Barb, the constant loving and calming presence. Too many great memories to list .. your light will continue to shine through Sean, Nicole, your grandkids, and the rest of us. I’ll miss your kindness and soothing voice always. ❤
