Not sure what to say?

Rip and family:
We were so very sorry to hear of Barb's passing. We did not know that she was ill. I will never forget all the good times we had, especially watching Matt and Scott play soccer. Barb was such a jolly person, seemed to always be happy. I missed her terribly after you all moved away but never forgot her or the rest of your family.

Rip, I'm sorry to hear about Barbara being called to Heaven. She was a wonderful & beautiful lady. I have many great memories of times that I shared with her. My Heartfelt feelings are with you and your family.

Rip, CIndy, and Scott,

I am deeply saddened by the news of Barb's passing. Even though I had not seen her in awhile, the fond memories of her treating me like one of her own have always stayed with me. Throughout high school, and for many years after, she was like a second mother to me. She made me feel welcome in your home and always showed an interest in my life's goals by being the compassionate, loving "mom" that she knew how to be.

Dear Rip,Cindy & Scott,
Our family is saddened that Barbara has left us. I remember the first time we met the Van Winkle family. I was only 10 years old and thought that Barbara was the sweetest lady. I am now almost 46 years old and remember that day like it was yesterday. There are so many great memories of our families together that it is hard to choose the best one. I know that as a child I recall Barbara being a great cook, I loved her spaghetti!
I know she is watching over all...

Dad,
Words can not express my sorrow and concern for you. Your commitment to Mom, as a husband and friend, will remain in my mind as a beautiful example of what love should be.

For Mom

I know in my heart there’s a place we will live,
Once our earthy body gives all it can give.
Releasing a spirit to Heaven above,
That’s casted back to us in a shadow of love.

I see Mom’s bright smile in her grandchildren’s faces;
Her kindness and...

Dear Robert, Cindy and Scott,
Barbara was a special person in my life. I know that she will leave a huge hole in your lives. I hope that you will be able to hang onto wonderful memories and know that you were so important to her.

Scott, we are so sorry for your loss, anything we can do just ask.
