Ms. Stewart was my kindergarten teacher. I always remembered her because she was so kind. My mother also had her as her kindergarten teacher. It was sad the day she left the school neithercut elementary. It wasn't the same without her. I remembered her playing the piano and was so fascinated by her. And when she would draw our shadows of our heads. It was so much fun to be in her room. She will be dearly missed. My condolences. Amanda Law

Aunt Barbara was a wonderful woman. Over the years we exchanged many hand written letters to each other. Though the last few years not as many as I would have liked. She will be missed dearly.

Three years ago I came to Barbara’s as her HHA. I fell in love with her. Her faith, personality, and her stories and pictures of her travels everywhere where so funny and enjoyable to listen too. She went to college in France and Switzerland. Her faith was so inspiring to me. We were both of the same faith. But my grandson and myself had lacked in our faith for quite awhile. She is the one who bought us back to our faith with her love for Jesus. I will never forget her. She will always be in...
