Hi Mom. I'd give anything to hear your voice right now, I could really use your advice. I miss you so much, it's been such a long time. Life is so much harder to navigate without your presence, and right now, I really don't know what to do. I try to remember what you taught me, sometimes through your words, sometimes through your actions. I do my best to get it right, but I feel like any choice I make here will be the wrong one. I just really miss you.

As Easter approaches, I am thinking of you Barb. I miss our phone conversations . I am so pleased that we were able to stay in contact over the years. I remember so many things about the fun we had growing up. Good times, great memories. Love you, miss you.

Another year has come and gone, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Sometimes you're the first thing I think about when I wake up still. I wish you were here, I know you would know what to do. You deserved so much more from life. I am so sorry. I wish we would have had more time, there's so much I wish I could say to you. I am trying to do right by you with my own family, at least I know that is what you would have wanted.
Your granddaughter is 5 now... She still remembers you sometimes, she remembers having fun with you, going to the park... Her memory is fading though, it hurts to see that. You were the best grandmother I could have hoped for to her, and I hate that time was cut short for both of you.
I hope for the impossible, that we will see each other again someday. Not that I've done anything in life to deserve that, but you have. I miss you and Bev so much, and I'm still trying to figure out how to move forward. I'll keep trying, I promise.
Happy New Year, 2019

Merry Christmas Mom. It was so hard not having you here with us today. We gave Tiffany the last two presents you bought her, we will keep them forever. She is too young to understand just how important they are now, but we will keep them safe until she does.
We all miss you. I hope you know how much I love you, and I always will.
Eris in corde meo usque in sempiternum.

I will miss you so much my friend. I was honored to be a life long friend. We had some really great times growing up together. This world was a better place because of you. I will carry you in my heart from now on. Love you

Her great laugh will be missed. No matter how long apart we would make time to talk by phone or see each other when I was in town. Barb was the first smile you would see at work. Greatly missed. Stephania Bryant

As we all meander through life, sometimes we get lucky and meet someone who is really special. Vibrant and vivacious, she would light up the room. She was a wonderful friend to my sister and my family. As my Mom aged, she was most helpful in giving insight and advice on the care of the aged. I will never forget those mighty tasty King Ranch Chicken Casseroles that she would make for my us when my Mom had a medical procedure or a surgery. She enriched our lives here on earth and will now share her "some kind of wonderful" in Heaven. We are better folks for knowing her. Forever in our hearts and minds, we will miss you but never forget you!

Barb, who I affectionately referred to as "Barbalicious", was my closest friend. We met when we both worked at the assisted living facility together. Though it may sound corny, but it was 'friends at first sight' !!!!! Our close friendship developed over the next 7 years. She was the most loving and caring person you'd ever want to have in your life. Mine will never be the same without her in it. I'm thankful for those wonderful years we shared. "Barb, you will be in my heart forever."

Barb was such a special bright spirit at Edenbrook of Plano while my Dad was in Memory Care there. She often helped me with my feelings of guilt.
Barb's bright light here on earth will be missed.
Prayers, blessings, love and hugs for her family and friends.

Dear family members of Barb and Beverly,
I have such fond memories of going to their home when they lived in Toledo and just hanging out. They were such good people.
My deepest condolences to all

I am deeply saddened by the news of Barb and Bev; they were like my little sisters. The ladies were the sweetest, kindest, and most loving women, and so much fun to be around, always with a smile on their faces. I have been in shock since I heard the news. Even though I haven't seen them for a while, they have always held a special place in my heart, and always will. My condolences to the families!
