Not sure what to say?

It was such a pleasure to know Barbara. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Barbara was a classmate of mine from grades 1-12. She and I attended Auburn together until Phil snagged her. We were apart for 40 years until our only class reunion in 2004 where we got re-acquainted. She and Phil went out with us several times in the last few years and I came to know the real Barbara. She inspired me all the time with her art, personality and her faith. I have, as many do, some of her art in my home that she did for me when I was battling cancer in 2007. She was such...

Dear Kathryn and Sam,
We just found out about your sweet mother. She was such a dear and so inspirational.
Kathryn, I loved being in Bible studies with your mother for so many years. She had so much insight, and gave me much needed advice about raising godly children.
We will be praying that our sweet Lord will give you " His Peace that surpasses all understanding."

Love and Prayers,

Leck and Cindy Shannon

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Barbara was a fine wonderful Christian lady and I still have the rag doll she made years ago for my daughter. What many talents she had. The Lord is getting a treasure.

Oh, what a treasure Barbara Lavellet was. I had the pleasure of sharing a Bible study with her a couple of years ago, and she left such an amazing impression on me.

Barbara was absolutely amazing. Such an inspiration to all. Her passing is a lesson to all us --- how to die with the Lord holding your hand. I will always think of her when I look at a flower. It is comforting to know that she is no longer in pain. She will not be forgotten

My heart is breaking in San Diego where we are this week. I'm so sorry I can't be at the service, but my thoughts are with you all. I was so fond of Barbara. She was so kind and thoughtful and a wonderful grandmother. We had some lovely conversations. She will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
