Dear Barbara,

We were BFFs in grammar school, high school, and college. You were and always will be like a sister. I remember how we used to crack each other up until tears came out of our eyes. I still find myself thinking about the funny things we did and said and I laugh. Someday I want to find you in heaven and let the giggling and laughing start again. Until then, you are in my heart.

Love

Paul and Karen Faris, Kayla, Matthew, Michelle, Johnny, Paulie Jr., and Kateri. As her 1st cousin I always looked forward to my cousin from CA. to come to little Fond du Lac, WI (her moms roots) to visit and just by hanging around albeit briefly I was with my "cool" big cousin and her cool brother Phil, both of whom I look up to very much. She's in heaven now and life is much better for her. We love her and miss her very much.

So with sad heart I send you my love and tell you that I give honor to Barbara and who she was and what she taught me.

Holding you in my heart,

Vicki

Dear Babs,

I will always remember you coming out of the ladies' room at that bar, doing a little Rockette dance back to the table, as the jukebox played Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York." I don't think I've ever known anyone with whom I've laughed more heartily.

You're also the only person I've ever known who was a true optimist and...

Barbara, my beloved friend, I mourn your departure from my life, but your exuberant and joyful spirit will remain with me always. You enriched my life and my soul. Farewell, until we meet again.

My wife and I have shared many meal and laughter with Barbara and Ken. We will miss her dearly. Thankfully, we have wonderful memories of her hugs, laughter and smile.
