I have wonderful memories of my cousin Barb, especially the two road trips that Barb, Mom and I took. Our trip to Atlanta was during the winter of the blizzard so to get out of Ohio, Barb and Mom had to scrape ice on the inside of my Beetle while I drove. We managed to have fun until we got into rush hour Atlanta traffic - I can still picture Barb trying not to laugh while I was trying not to swear. On our other trip, we sang all the way to Virginia Beach and back. None of us knew the words to a whole song but we laughed and sang anyway - it was a lot of fun. Barb was special and I will miss her.

I have fond memory, of many friday nights, at the Dunfee dining room table. We (Barb, my mom and whoever else would be there), playing Yatchzee and talking until late at night, about anything and everything. Also, fun times at the Route 40 East Drive in, when mom helped Barb in the concession stand. She will be missed a lot, but remembered always.

Dear Missy & Mike:

The Coey family sends our loving thoughts and prayers to you. We have many fond memories growing up in Royal Manor and those memories are priceless! Neighborhoods are not what they use to be anymore. Your parents were awesome. I always looked forward to the slumber parties and that secret window we would go out while your parents slept! :)

Love,
Sharon (Coey) Sunseri

We were so sad to hear about the loss of your mother. The girls were especially heartbroken. We have wondeful memories of a kind, gentle, caring, and loving women. She was a very prowd grandmother and great grandmother. We will miss her very much. She made the best fudge for the holidays. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
