Not sure what to say?

I remember Barbara Skillings from Neighborhood Church. She always helped with our Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and Summer Camp at Bass Lake. Blessings to her children and families. I know you must have some beautiful memories of this wonderful lady.

Dear Pam, Jimmy and David
I am so sorry that I was unable to attend the viewing. Alzheimer's is such a horrible disease. When I saw that high school graduation picture, it reminded me of Aunt Barbara's sweetness. If there is anything I can do that would be helpful, please, let me know.
Love, Nancy

Pam I don't know if you remember me but I worked with your Mom and you way back in the day, I started in 1969. To this day when some of us operators get together your Mom's name comes up, she was awesome and always a pleasure to work with. I remember her hands and her using her cow udder cream. And of course her sweater sleeves she wore. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I keep remembering the Sundays we would see her and Bud when we came to visit our 2 beautiful grandchildren we shared. She would always suggest that I should follow a healthy diet. So very caring and concerned for others.

The sadness I feel for the loss of Barbara is unbearable. The knowledge that she is a far better place is all that sustains me. Farewell dear sister.Janet

barbara was a bright being who blessed all who knew her with her light. I will always remember her smile and how she felt to hold!

We have lost the cog in the wheel of our family. She will always be in our hearts. Diane and Carl

So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. We were operators together in the late 60's and 70's and then I would see her at the operator picnics. What a wonderful lady she was. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman. I will never forget her grace and beauty as I remember Mrs. Skillings. From my childhood to adulthood I have shared both glorious and heartbreaking family moments with all of you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.
