My dear sweet Barbara, I love you so. You are dearly missed and I will remember you forever. Rest in sweetest peace. To her family, I always told her that it was apparent that she was an exceptional Mother, evident through the devotion of her adoring family. My deepest condolences to her loving family who took such great care of her. I am heartbroken for you.
