Remembering My Aunt Barbara- My Dad, Arthur Romero, liked to recount to us and imitate how she would good- naturedly talk to the cows on the farm where she, Aunt Lois and my Mom grew up outside of Chillicothe, Ohio. Her smile, laughter, and sense of humor and family will always be a part of my memories.

Any conversation with Aunt Barbara included her joyful laughter which was always contagious. There is a little less laughter in the world without her. Love you Aunt Barbara.

Barbara was a beautiful woman with a gentle spirit who always had a smile on her. Christ is the way, the truth and the life, Barbara believed it and it's comforting to know that we'll see her again soon.
