What do you say to comfort a family who is in mourning? Other than to pray for them and hope God's love will get them through this time of healing.
On my way to Barbra's viewing it was a cold rainy day ice was falling on the trees and sticking on the branches which no longer had leaves. I thought to myself how sad a day for a viewing. Gathering in the church and meeting Barbra's family brought me comfort and I hoped by the staff from Dresher Estates being there also brought comfort to Barb's family.
As I left and started home on that dreary day I noticed that the empty ice covered branches had new buds forming and blooming. I thought to myself that it was a sign from Barbra saying she was safe and at peace. I smiled and thought yes, Barbra is at peace this gave me comfort.
Here is hoping only comfort comes your way in the days that pass and know Barbra will never be forgotten in my heart. Debbie Goldstein

My prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Barb these past few years. She was a kind and compassionate nurse and more importantly a truly lovely person. She spoke often of her family and of you Bob. Her love for you was always evident. You really were her everything. I hope you can find some peace in knowing how many lives Barb touched on a daily basis and in how much she meant to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. I know a part of Barb will live on in all of us!
