Not sure what to say?

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Barbara. I worked for Parker & Townes putting together tax returns during the 2003 tax season. I was pregnant, and they offered me work to get through the last few months of pregnancy. It worked out, because they need the help, and I needed the work. Barbara was always so incredibly nice to me. She would always bring in a veggie tray on Fridays and would always add extra olives, knowing that one of my big pregnancy cravings was green olives. She...

Robert, I'm so very , very sorry for your loss, I just found out. I'll always remember, you and Barbara, in our first home, across the street from y'all. Y'all are in my prayers. Barbara was such a very sweet person.

We are so sorry. She was a very nice lady.

Robert, I am so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. I am sorry you are having to go through this journey too. It is not an easy one! I lost Billy in August, so I definitely know how hard it! If I can do anything, please do not hesitate to call.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending deep condolences to the Townes Family. Hope to see Barbara again in Paradise (Luke 23:43). May you all be uplifted, comforted and peaceful due to the prayers of family and friends.

Robert, we were so shocked to hear about Barbara. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all at this time.

Robert and Family,
What a shock to hear about Barbara. Although we only met her one time, we felt as we had known her for years. When we came to have our taxes done you always talked about your fun trips together with a big smile. I know how she loved her family and we trust that you know we care , lots. We consider you a great friend and would have been at the service if we had known before today.
Praying God holds you and your family close to his heart.

Mom I'm not sure where to begin other than I'm glad you were mine and I was yours. Y'all gave me a story book life that most would envy. I'm glad you never gave up on me in my immature stages of teenage years. You always stood by me and that allowed me to take chances and become successful beyond my wildest dreams. I hope I made you proud. Me, Lauren and the kids will miss you more than you can imagine but we will always cherish and honor your memories. Love ya till my last breath!

Robert, we are so sorry to hear about Barbara. We will keep you in prayer that God brings you and your family comfort and peace through this trying time.
