Barbara R. Trail

Dear friends, Many fond memories of your mother, Barb come to mind. beginning in the 1970's, when we stopped at the farm and purchased a rag rug for my daughter's bedroom. In later years we became good friends through Questers and Ella Sharpe Museum. I was indeed honored to enjoy her friendship. I visited her last October, when we were in Michigan. Wih sympathy, Jean Sowers

We had the pleasure of knowing and spending time at the table with your delightful Mom at Trellis Gardens where both of our Mom's spent time together. We enjoyed talking with her and getting to know her . She was always positive and had interesting things to talk about. She will be missed by many.

So sorry of your moms passing. Been a long time since I have been in contract with any of Johns relatives. I do think Of you often tho.

Gretchen,we went to JJC at the same time...but years before we would get together as our mothers were in training at Mercy and kept in contact thru the years. A few years ago,I went to the 'barn' to see her baskets and have a wooden rocking horse plaque your dad made! when my mother passed she came to visitation. It meant a lot to me. May God comfort you and the family.

Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing and remembered fond memories of her. She was a close friend of my parents. Last time we saw her was at my parents' memorial service at Clark Lake. I will remember all the good times we had as families together.

Dear Gretchen, Jim and Jennifer,

My cousin, Lynn Van Wagnen E mailed me that your mother had died. We are out of town and won't be returning until Wednesday, September 13. I have many fond memories of the time our two families spent together. I haven't seen any of you for many years, but my memories will last forever. Your mother and mine met in nursing school and were best friends for throughout their lives. I know the three of you will keep your mother (and your father) alive in...
