Mom,

You will be happy to know that Dad is working really hard to plan a great Memorial for you. We are doing 2 huge poster boards of photos plus your full sized wedding picture. Heather is going to get food to feed everyone. Dad has a vase for you that he said you loved and you picked out that he can use for an urn. He is also diligently making Memorial Cards for all of your out of state relatives who can not make the service. You would be very proud of him! I think there will be a lot of people there too.

I am sending this as if it were an email, you never used email before. So I hope you are watching over us and know what is going on. I hope you are happy, we miss you! I can not watch "Judge Judy" and not think of you.

Love,
Jen

Bob,Jennifer and Heather~My sincere sympathy for the passing of your wonderful wife and mother. Barb was a truely sweet woman. There are so few such beautiful souls on this earth, that when you do meet them,you know you have been blessed. I am thankful to have met such a soul. I regret not seeing her as often as I would of liked, but when I did, I enjoyed every minute. May she now enjoy the company of God and his Angels and be forever in peace. May the three of you have always your fond memories and know too the lasting love she left for you.
Love...Joyce and Jerry
