Nancy and family-what a warrior for the Lord was your Mom. I can remember so many times her sound wisdom based on scripture through out trials for many at UCCC. Her faithfulness in all situations brought her faith to the surface. She was "connected" to her heavenly father and you could tell each time she reached out to aid others, which was often. You girls are a reflection of that concern and care. Be assured of our prayers through this time and the lasting effect your mom had on many young folks that are now "advanced".

Barb meant so much to so many! She was a great lady with the light of Jesus always shining in her heart. PTL she has wanted to see her Lord and Gene and she is, finally, home. We have very high praise for a wonderful lady!

There don't seem to be the proper words to say for such a precious lady. Having her in my (our)life since birth, it's difficult to pinpoint just one thing. Her sweet smile, quiet countenance, love for her family and her Lord were ever present. Her organ skills were used and appreciated by countless people. She was a woman of prayer. Visiting with her just weeks ago,I sang to her and prayed with her. She longed for Heaven and to see her Gene again. My parents greeted her as well, and I will forgive her for calling me "Lucy"....
I know how much your hearts are hurting, Carol & Nan. The desire to pick up the phone, or make that trip out Rt. 26 will come to mind more than you know now. Rest in the promise that we'll see them and all those gone before us who have made the profession of faith to trust Jesus as their Savior.
Praying for you with my love,
Ruthie

Barb will always be remembered by Jeff and me for her faithfulness and desire to serve Jesus Christ. She was consistent in her faith and loved to share and teach others about it.

I will always be grateful for her Ladies' Bible Study as it brought women of all ages together to learn more of the Word of God, share our journeys and fellowship together. As a young Mom, I always loved Tuesdays with Barb and the ladies.

Barb will always hold a place in our heart and memories and now she's in the presence of loved ones who have gone before her and the God she so faithfully served.

Blessings to the family at this time of "heavenly graduation."

I am truly sorry for your loss, although I am rejoicing in Barb's home going. She is where she has desired to be for quite some time and I am happy for her. As a song says, it is a time where joy and sorrow flow mingled down. We know that the Lord will be with you through this difficult time, and His love, strength and peace will carry you through.
