You hated this picture, I loved it.
You loved Animals, Im not the biggest fan.
You were loud, Im quiet.
You were outgoing, Im more reserved.
You were handy with tools, my tools are a butter knife and platform shoe.
We were so different and always had been but we had a bond like no other. Not just the normal mother & daughter bond. You had me young, we grew up together. We had our growing pains for sure but we grew and learned together. You were my biggest fan and I know without a doubt how much you loved me and how proud you were of me. Im still trying to navigate this world without you, its not something I thought Id have to do this young. You were still young and had so much more life to live. Im sad, Im angry but Im not bitter. I know you wouldnt want me to stay angry and bitter. Youd want me to go on and be the person you raised. Strong, independent and resilient, so thats what I intend to do. I will miss you always and I will think of you every day. There are so many good memories to think about. I love you.
Love,
Your Miss Maliss

Fifty some years ago there was a knock on my door. I opened to find a little girl with more dark, flowing, long, super curly hair than an adult could sport and a bald dog named HARRY...
Shed come to see her new friend Terri.
They were joined at the hip from then on.
Ill miss your laugh, your sense of humor, your myriad of skills and more.
Love you so much Curly...

Its so heartbreaking to lose Barb. I dont know anyone that lived, and enjoyed life as much as Barb. She was so incredibly fun... I will never forget her chuckle. I have been friends with her since elementary school. She was alway a good friend to me. We could go a year, and run into each other It was like we seen each other all the time. She was such a special person, with a beautiful singing voice.

Every time I came over after school I was warmly welcomed and always fed. I remember her kindness... always taking in people who needed help. She will always have a place in my heart as a truly good person.

Ooo the stories I have .
18 years worth! And sooooo many favorites. I would go with her when she and my hubby worked the box program and she accidentally hit the horn. She piped up waving her right hand and said Nammi! WAVE so I did and asked who are we weaving at ? She says, No body but I honked the horn so we have to look like we knew someone! If you knew her she did that a lot. So from that point on when she honked the horn I would automatically wave with her and most people would wave back with a look like , Do I know you? Sooo many funnnnnn times!!!

Barbara,
We share so much, a birthday, Husbands names Scott, a sophisticated sense of humor, strong accessory game, always ready for a backyard party or camping trip to anywhere, a fierce love of our daughters and pride of our grandchildren. Barb, you are so loved and so missed. You touched peoples lives and entertained us with your wit and talent on the mic and things wont ever be the same without you.
I just know my Mom was there waiting for you with a huge smile and a big hug. You two are going to tear things up and have probably been entertaining everyone. Take care of each other and we promise to do the same here.
❤ Melissa Murray
