Not sure what to say?

Sorry to be so late with my condolences. My thoughts are with you, Tom, and family.
I will never forget Barbara's kindness to my parents when they lived next door. They always spoke so fondly of you both.
I was so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing and think of her always when I visit next door.

Barbara was like a second mother to me growing up. I was always playing with the kids at the Ashton house from sun-up till sundown. I always enjoyed spending time at their home because of the love that Barbara and Tom showed to their children, as well as friends. I always felt safe, comfortable, and welcome. I am so glad to have gotten to know Barbara, and learn from her how to be a good mother by watching her be a great one. I miss you Barbara.

Love,
Amy Sailer-Millet

Barbara was a kind and gentle woman and all of us at California Bingo Service will miss her. What a baker and cookie maker she was. We always looked forward to the holidays as she would provide all kinds and shapes of cookies, cakes and other goodies. Iam sure she will be in the kitchen of God doing what she does so well.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Ashton family. Blessings of peace and strength to you during this difficult time.

Barbara was a very reserved and shy person, the moment you got to know her, she chats with you like you'd been her friend forever, and you would remember that smile forever! We will miss you Barbara, and we will cherish you in our hearts forever. May you rest in peace and eternity.

Dear Barbara, what a beautiful and kind person you were. All of us at Cal Bingo were at your service and I must say what a beautiful service it was. We are going to miss your wonderful treats you always made for us during Christmas time. I hope Christina will keep the tradition. Maybe Tom can make sure of that. Barbara the few times we spoke was always pleasant to me. You were always sweet to me. As your Golden friends (Sophia, Dorothy, Rose & Blanche) would say "Thank you for being...
