We shared a duplex townhouse with Barbara and Gene for several years in the 80's. They were wonderful neighbors to have. We are sorry to hear of Barbara's passing.....we remember her very fondly. May God rest her soul.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words, prayers and support. A special thanks to all of the people that have been by her side over the last few years. Mother, as well as her family, were very lucky to have the support and friendship received.
Her passing leaves a void in many lives as mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and confidant. Mother will be missed as she returns to angels that sent her for me, God Bless. She will be remebered as described below.
There are times only when a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's Love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...
