It really saddened me to hear of Barbara's passing. I am praying for all of you. I know it is hard for everyone and I am praying that God will continue to help you through it.
I didn't write anything in the book about my favorite memory of Barbara but I will share it now. It was in 2004 when the Carolina Panthers went to the Super Bowl. We were all at Jimmie's and Barbara had on her #17 Jake Delhomme shirt. Went he made a good play she would yell out "GO DEL-HOM-E" It isn't pronouced that way. The "H" is silent. I will never forget it. It was so funny. May God's peace be upon you all.
God bless,
Crystal

my wife tara and i have been praying daily for the Lord's healing on everyone affected by barbara's passing. she was great with kids and a loving mother. everyone will miss her. in life's darkest hours, though we rarely know what He is doing or why it is being done, all we can do is trust in God's perfect plan. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Tim, Mandy, Alex, Dusty and family, I was so shocked to hear that Barbara had gone to be with her Heavenly Father,But rest assured that you will see her again. She was such a joy to be around and always brought a smile to my face when I was working for Meals on Wheels and came in the back door to count. May God keep each of you close and if there is anything I can do to help, please give me a call. Love you all!

I will miss her smiling face every morning and the joy she brought to my daughter and granddaughter-Ashleigh. She was a great person and cared for everyone she came in contact with. Her memory will live on in you and your family and in the restaurant. She was an angel in disguise. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in this time of need.

Tim and family: I thought and prayer go out to each and everyone of you. Barbara will be truly miss. She always had a smile and was a wonderful laugh. She would always light up the room with laughter. May God continue to bless and keep you safe through this time of sorrow.

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.
Tim, Mandy, Alex, and Dusty & family- you are in my prayers .

Tim and Mandy,
I am going to miss Barbara when I come eat breakfast and I know Ashleigh will too. You are like a second family to us and very special to me. I thank God that he put you guys in my life. God had to take her away so she can watch over Kortlyn. She will be truly missed for sure. Love you guys and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim, Mandy, Alex and Dustin, We are all in shock as all of you are. I always loved watching Barbara at the restaurant when I would bring daddy in. I could see the love she had for all of you and everyone around. The verse you picked out for her summed up how she lived her life and the love she had for all of you. Her strong spirit and love will be with you always. We are sad and grieve for her along with all of you. Our love and prayers go out to you. Her memory will live on in all of you because you loved her so much and the way you care so much for others and are so kind shows the love she taught you. Love, Melissa and the rest of the Alby Eller family
