So sorry for your loss Gary. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MAY GOD COMFORT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF SORROW 1 PETER 5:6,7

Aunt Barbara, Shannon and Kelly May 2017

Aunt Barbara was always so kind and loving to me and to my children. We will miss our visits and our lively conversations very much. Our hearts are sad for our loss but rejoice for her as she joins the love of her life, Uncle Joe, in heaven. To Lou, Gary, Paul, and your families we send you love and our deepest condolences. Much love, Maryellen, Kelly and Shannon.

Barbara was the matriarch of our family. I had no friends or family when I came to RI 30+ years ago. Barbara welcomed me, literally, with open arms and made sure I knew I had family here, too. She was kind, warmhearted, a little sassy, funny, supportive, beautiful and wise. I believe my own mother was happy to have someone of Barbara's caliber looking out for me. Barbara was a real class act and I consider her to have been one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Paul I'm so sorry for your loss! Your Mom was a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love you guy's xoxo Kerri

That's such a pretty picture and just the way I remember her. She was a great neighbor, just like family and we'll miss her very much. We had so much fun there on Dover Street. My thoughts and prayers to Lou, Gary, Paul and their families.

She was a best friend neighbor and like a second Mom to us. We will truly miss her so much. Such a lovely and a beautiful person. Until we meet again. Love Jim and Patty.
