Barbara Jo Tobin

Hi Gram,
Okay, your guidance would be greatly appreciated right about now. I'm having some serious problems that I need to get trough and I wish you were here to help. I'm staring at my computer wishing that I could just pick up the phone and call you. I know that you can hear me and you know how I'm feeling, but it's not the same. I'm going to go to the cemetary and make sure that you have some flowers there, I know how much you love flowers. There probally not going to do to well in...

Gram,
I really like this guest book. I can write you whenever I feel like it. Something like this really helps when you don't feel like talking about anything. I made ground meat and tomato soup for dinner the other night and I thought about you. I can never remember how much chili powder to put in it, but it came out just fine. It's not getting any easier living without you, I'm not expecting it to either. I never realized how often we did talk or do things together. When the girls...

Barbara you were an important part of your family and offerred a great amount of wisdom to all. You had a great impact on your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You were very special to all and will always be held dear to their hearts.

Grandma,
It's still hard to belive that your gone. It's been one week and it still doesn't seem real. It's hard not being able to pick up the phone and call you. It's the little things that you take for granted, like calling you for recipies or to go shopping. I know that your in a better place and that your not in pain, that makes me feel better. I know that we will be together again, someday. I hope that when I need your guidance you will still be there to help me. I miss you and I...

My Angel ever at my side
How lovely you must be
To leave your home in heaven
To guard someone like me
When I'm far away from home
or maybe hard at work
I know you will protect me
from harm along the way
Your beautiful and shining face
I see not, though your near
The sweetness of your lovely voice
I cannot really hear
When I pray, you're praying too
Your prayer is just for me
But, when I sleep you...

A grandma is warm hugs and sweet memories. She remembers all of your accomplisments and forgets all of your mistakes. She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to, and she hopes and prays that all of your dreams come true. She always loves you, no matter what. She can see the past temper tantrums and bad moods, and makes it clear that they don't affect how precious you are to her. She is an encouraging word and a tender touch. She is full of proud smiles. She is the one person in...

Many of you may not know me well, but I have heard many nice things about your entire family through the years from my Mom, Carol Skowronsky and you have all been there for her through the good times and bad. We are now here for you. Remember all the memories you have of Barbara and keep them close to your heart. Take care and be there for each other. Also remember that others are thinking of you.
