Barbara Nichols Eakin

I remember the first time I met Barbara's Aunt Bobbie, just 8 years ago. She was so gentle, but she also had a depth of intelligence that caught me off guard. She was always a fun addition to any group. I just wish I had had more years to enjoy her humor, her gentle warmth, her wit.

Barbara, I met you once several years ago when you came back to Danville and your home. I was the lucky one to have bought your home and even luckier to have met you. God Bless you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Bobbie was an open hearted and gentle woman with a keen mind and avid curiosity. She was one of those people you'd want to sit next at a dinner party. I pray that she is at peace and look forward to seeing her in the next life! My heart goes out to her family for their enormous loss.

In loving memory of Aunt Bobbie and thanks to her for being there for her niece Barbara all those years.

My mom Pat named me for her sister Barbara, who I knew for all of her life as my Auntie Bobbie. Bobbie was a great friend and confidant who shared so many of my passions, including gardening and nature. We laughed together a lot, often giggling like sisters over silly things. I loved going over to her home in Danville to visit her garden and enjoy her great cooking. She was a great shopper, and we had some fun times at Nordie's together. I miss her a lot, not only for her great humor and...

The world has lost a most beautiful person. She always had a smile on her face, a most-welcoming manner about her. Everyone was treated as a member of the family. Her physical presence will be missed, but her memory and spirit lives forever. I felt loved and am a better person for having known her.

My sincerest condolences to the family during this very difficult time. I hope the family will be comforted by the thoughts expressed at Revelation 21:4 when "death" will be no more.
