My sincere sympathies to your family. I am from St. Joseph Church and took Communion to Barbara for the past several months until they moved her from Bradenton Oaks. I always enjoyed my visits with her on Sunday mornings. Even though I only knew Barbara for a short time, I feel that she was a very giving person, a caring wife and a devote mother. I will miss her as I know some of the residents at Bradenton Oaks miss her also. I'm certain that your family will greatly miss her. You are in my prayers.
