Not sure what to say?

Aunt Baba will forever be in my heart. She was a dedicated wife, sister, mother, grandmother and to me, an unforgettable great Aunt. I am grateful for the memories of her and the times she and Uncle Norman hosted family get-togethers. I will miss her whitt, her sense of humor, her encouragement, her positive attitude and her thoughtfulness in putting others first. In God's eyes, she earned the right to live more than a century. She also made the very best crab cakes and would beat me every...

To all of aunt Babs' family members, I want to extend my deepest sympathies for your loss.
A true beacon of light, hopefulness and genuine caring has dimmed, but has not been put out. These qualities will live within us and all those who had the good fortune to have known her.

Wow--Aunt Baba---the shining bubbly amazing light in her family--I remember so many visits growing up in the summer---so loved her and those days. She always had smiles and fun and laughter in her home and with everyone in the family. Time has passed and we have all grown apart--but I will always remember her and how she touched everyone she came in contact with---Love and Light to her family and friends--especially Tammy, Todd and John--its been a long time--I am so sorry for your loss.
