Dear Michael and Family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mom. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I know your mom was sick for a while and everyone at LPS has been praying and hoping for the best.
I know with all my heart that your mom is in heaven, out of pain and in God's loving hands. May God guide you all and give you peace and loving memories.
Sincerely, Susan Sward (LPS Teacher)

Dear Bill,Cheryl and Susan, Barbara was a special person. So many times running through the streets of HIngham we had to stop because we were laughing so hard. Her faith always was an inspiration to me.
She will always be close in my heart. I know she is at peace with the Lord. God Bless, Paula Briden

Dr. Frates,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength.

Our thoughts are with you at the loss of Barbara. A photo of the 2 of you in our wedding album will be our happy remembrance of her... she always looked so darn perfect!
Our regards to all the family.

Bill,
Please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time. Jane and I still remember that time we had together when we all were 'so young" on
that trip to Bermuda in 1972 aboard the QE ll. It was fun.
God Bless Barbara.
Gordon & Jane McGinnis
