I miss you, I miss when it gets cold you're calling me and asking me for potato soup. I know you're dancing and having one heck of a time with your dad and all of our family while in the same breath I know you're watching over your kids and grandkids and your mom and sisters all of us actually. 19 years yeah it seems like yesterday. Whenever Becky shares a picture of Elena it just reminds me of how even after passing you continued giving more of yourself and this young woman is alive because of it. Love you honey, Aunt Nora

Dear Family,
Happy Easter! Here is a picture of Elena, my daughter, who was saved & given another chance of life because of Rashida. She will always be in our memories & be our angel. Time is so quickly passing. We must make the most of it. I´m sure thats what Rashida would want. We will all fly away at some point, but LOVE will remain.

You've been gone 18 years now and knowing you're with the Lord, your dad, grandma's, grandpa's etc.
gives me comfort. I'm sure you're watching over your kids so you know the boys have kids. The girls are living their life as is your mom and sisters. When I'm wanting Italian I think of you making your giant stuffed shells. When it gets cold I can almost hear you asking me to make you potato soup lol. I can't be with your mom and Aunt Lee today so maybe you and the Lord can give them big hugs. Found some old photos to share. Love you honey. By the way, one of the people you gave your organs to is doing well and is a beautiful young person.

Well Rashida, your mom, Aunt Lee and myself took you to lunch at Olive Garden then went to the cemetery. We miss you everyday. Not only are you watching over your kids but we know you're watching over us and Elena. Love you honey. James brought the flowers and angel I believe.

Your mom, your sister Cora, your aunt Lee and myself went to the cemetery and talked about you for a while then we all went to dinner together and talked about you some more. Of course your mom always takes a picture of you with her to put at the table, we went to Olive garden because you used to work there. I showed Cora and Lee a picture of the little girl that your organ saved and then one of her on a beach as she got older I haven't seen one of her lately so I'm not sure how she is but I'm sure everything is great. Her mother always makes a comment on here every year. I understand why you were so adamant about giving your organs. Everyone still misses you like crazy of course and we still love and hold you in our hearts and will forever. It's comforting knowing that someday we'll be reunited with you and we will all be singing to the Lord.

I can't believe it's been 15 years. I was with your Mom and Cora this last week. This was the first time your sister was able to go to the cemetery. You know the kids are well except Bobby. To loose you and now to loose his son at 4 months is tough. He takes comfort in knowing Oliver is with you in your arms. He donated Oliver's organs and like you that will give life to someone. I miss you honey.

Here I am going through your Guess Book. I do it every year. It always brings tears to my eyes, and the emotional thoughts come back, that we experienced that year. My daughter is graduating High School this year, 2020! She is growing into a beautiful lady! Sometimes when I look at her, I remember you and your family and send a prayer up. I pray you are all well and lots of angels surround you! You are loved! Thank you! ❤

I cant believe the years just keep rolling by. I didn't get to go home to visit your mom, Lee or the kids this year and it was rough because we lean on each other. Instead after church I spent time reading what people wrote about you. Then I get a notice that someone signed your guest book. It was a mom name Becky who had a daughter that was dying and you gave her your liver(I believe that was the organ she got, there were so many)Becky just wanted to thank you and the family. Her daughter is a lovely young girl. I find it fitting that as much as you loved kids that you saved the life of a little girl. We all miss you everyday and the kids are truly something.
Elena, my miracle, because of Rashida. We love you!

Happy 43rd birthday Rashida, I came in from Texas to celebrate your day with your mom and your Aunt Lee. We of course went to Olive Garden then out to Mount St. Mary's. I miss you I know not as much as Marie and the kids. So you must be so tickled with seeing what a good daddy Bobby is, hard to believe you're a grandma (most beautiful ever) Christen working in Minnesota. James working and Victoria learning to drive. Everyone is ok. They all go through tough times without you but like you they are all strong. Extra prayers for your mom honey. I love you

12 years and I miss you as much today as I did then. I'm with your mom this week. I can't wait to meet your granddaughter, the pictures they share show her beauty which of course comes from you, BOBBY and Emily. He is a good daddy Rashida. You're kids are all finding themselves in this world and missing you. Marie and your sisters are fine just missing you also. I love knowing you're with the Lord and your dad, Paul, Kay, Butch, Ray etc. I'm so thankful for the time I had you in my life. Love you and hug everyone for me

Well honey 40 years young today. If you were here you'd be getting a huge birthday bash. If I were in Missouri I'd be going with your mom to Olive Garden to celebrate your birthday. She will still go and she has a wonderful man by her side that brings her joy and will comfort her. I know you're dancing with your dad and the Lord and I love knowing that. I get my comfort from knowing that and seeing your beautiful children whenever I can. Have the Angels sing a little louder so maybe I can hear your celebration. I love you. Aunt Nora

I still picture you there with the Lord and your dad dancing to Celebration. I made potato soup for the first time since loosing you a couple of weeks ago, seemed odd you not there to eat it. I love you honey and I will always be there for your mom and the kids.Aunt Nora

Another year without you in it. Another year of missing your face, missing your smile, and missing hearing your voice. But I do see and hear so much of you in your children.

I remember that day well. It was a day of tears yet a day of rejoicing! Rashida was our angel that we were waiting for. Even though it caused great pain , it also caused great life for one little girl. I thank you Rashida for being that hope and life to my family. I will always love and charish you and your family. God bless!

October 15, 2013
My dear Rashida, Happy Birthday 38 today. It's so funny some people were talking about a cold front coming in and I started laughing. When asked why I was laughing I told them about how every year for years you'd call me when it got a little chilly and we'd go through this whole banter about how cold it was or wasn't then you'd finally say ok so are you gonna make me your potato soup. Of course I'd laugh and tell you yes and have it for you before the day was over. I always made sure I had the fixins in the house ready for whenever you called. I'm so grateful to the Lord for sharing you with us for as long as He did. I know you're dancing and singing to the Lord with your dad and grandma. The kids are beautiful inside and out. And your mom and all of those who love you are blessed to have you in their thoughts, their hearts and their memories. Love you. Aunt Nora

A gift from my Father
I smelled you today. I don't know why my heavenly Father gave me this gift. Nor why He gave it to me in a thrift store in Texas. I called Nora over and asked her if she smelled anything. She said, “Yeah, Rashida.” When Lee came near she said, “What's that perfume smell? Where's it coming from?” She looked around. I had already searched the area. Nora told her it was your perfume, Moon Petal Musk.
I still have too many of your things here. Mostly clothes you used to wear during the years you went to church. Baby clothes, baskets, candles and picture frames have their places in my room and the guest room. It's the semi-annual time of year when they comfort and cut me at once. Today is the 6th of October, nine days from your birthday
Nora Phelps
October 13, 2012
Hey Christen, Bobby, James,Victoria, Marie, Angie, Cora and all of those who cared about Rashida. I know this is a time of reflection of our lives with Rashida knowing she would be 37 this coming Monday Oct 15. I personally will remember how much she loved her kids, how much she loved Christmas and how when it started getting chilly she'd want me to make Potato Soup or how she'd call me when she was making manicotti because she knew how much I liked it. Or how she called me all excited because in her 9th month of pregnancy with Victoria she had finally hit 100 lbs.Or her vacation times with me and the boys but mostly I'll remember her love for the kids and her family. I'm wishing her a Happy Birthday and asking the Lord to do a dance with Rashida as a celebration of her life, and to help everyone have nothing but good memories to celebrate her birthday.I love you all.

Five years ago, I was in Iraq and was unable to be with family when Rashida left us. Rashida and I had good times together, and also found a lot of trouble together. Part of me wishes that I had been there during the last couple of days of her life, but at the same time, I will never have to know what she looked like after the accident. I will always have the memory of a beautiful young woman with an infectious smile and laugh. My cousin always worked hard to be a good mother, and was successful. For those of you who only had a brief time with her, be grateful, because she was an amazing woman and left us with four beautiful children. I miss you Rashida.

It's five years ago today and it seems like yesterday. Rashida was someone who was loved by everyone she met. She loved her children more than anything. She is looking down from heaven with a huge smile on her face for how the kids are turning out. She spent a lot of time with me and my boys and we all miss her. We are truly blessed to be able to watch her children grow up.
December 26, 2010
I truly miss Rashida at the holidays, She loved Christmas and knew that it was about Christ. Yet she went out of her way to bring cheer to all of us who knew her. I miss you Rashida. I bless God we have your kids here with us.

You all take care!

Hey. It was four years today that Rashida barber- the woman that for years I knew as mommy, and many others knew- past away. It's hard for me writing this but I want her to somehow know that I miss her very much. If I could tell her myself I would. What happened to her, I think we can all agree was unfortunate. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. Sometimes I wonder what she woul say to me if she could speak to ne right now. I'd give anything to find out. In honor of the aniversary of her death I am writing this to say she is misses and still loved. I love you mommy. Christen

Hey everyone. Its me David ( the kids dad ). Just thought I would let everyone know that the kids are doing great! Christen has turned into such a beautiful little woman. It tears me up every time I think about it. She is such a great kid and is doing very well. She is cheer leading and is very good at it. She has the lead role in the school play and is also singing. She is always doing something. Straight A's and very mature for her age. She will be 15 next month and is also driving me nuts on driving. But she is a great kid and will do well.
Bobby is also straight A's and is doing incredible. He has been playing baseball and he just had a great season. He is pitching and is VERY good. He is also playing the infield and is very fast and has turned out to be a good hitter. He only struck out once the whole season and was on base every other time. He is also starting to switch hit. He is becoming such a man nowadays. He is almost as tall as me and has gotten past the crackly voice stage. He is now 13 and is growing quickly.
James is 10 now and is growing up fast. He is still a little air headed but he is doing wonderful in school now. He has very goo grades as well. They dont do the a and b thing yet but he is doing awesome. The older three have become very good readers ad sit around alot and do nothing but read. James is taking after his brother alot and is trying to find his own identity. He is a little charmer and is finally learning to stop talking so much in class. He is a great kid too.
Victoria is a little angel. Her voice is still very squeeky and I dont think it is ever going to change. I think she is taking after her aunt Angie on that one. She has a best friend and sister with Allie and they are inseperable. They are great kids too! Victoria will talk to anyone. She is going to be such a little social butterfly. She is very smart too. She is very quick witted and is going to be a handful for the guys when she gets older. I really have so much fun with them and everyone would be so proud of them. They are growing up so fast and soon Will be headed off to college. Christen is already preparing.
Well, I wanted to give everyone an update on how everybody was doing. I hope all is well and I will update you all from time to time.

Hi Christen! I'm your dad's uncle Larry and your great-uncle and just wanted to say how good it is to read the updates on how all of you are doing. Don't know if you remember me coming to visit a few years ago or not.You are a great writer: hope you keep it up! You describe everyone so well I can almost see them! I am also the uncle who does the family history research, and (with your dad's permission) would love to hear from any and all of you and maybe receive photos of you all from time to time for the family tree.

Hey,
Christen again. Yay! lol. everything is still great. we recently went on a vecetion in Florida. we saw Disney world, seaworld, and went to aquatica1 Fun fun fun! Right now they are out in the pool having fun bugging me to come out so this one wont be as long. Its almost the 4th which means my little brother is almost 10! James is getting older and less of that little boy everyone will soon only remember and we wont get to witness anymore. Its crazy how much like Bobby hes getting. But Bobby has alredy passed the little boy stage. my baby brothers arent so much baby anymore. Right now Bobbys voice makes me laugh every time he talks. its crackly and squeeky and soon will sound like the man he soon will be. Im so thankful my baby sisters are still babys. lol. Victria has the cutest voice i hope she never grows ouy of. ugh. got to go swim. I thought and was wondering if it was a good idea but if anyone want to contact me my cell number is (816)-284-8777 =]. until next time1 xoxoxo.

Hey,
This is Christen. Rashida was my mother. Me, Bobby, James, and Victoria are living with my dad, step-mom -(shes great)- and step sister. I am writing this from my dads work. I got to spend the day with him. Fun!
Victoria is six and almost done with kindergarten. She is getting so big and sooo pretty. She makes me laugh. Just the other day we were in the car and she told Granny; "sissi never lies to me, she just tells me wrong sometimes when she doesnt want me to know something"-lol- Her and Allie are inseprible. I still see her cry about our loss frequently and as much as I hate seeing her hurt, I cant help but love that it still upsets her as much as it does me still. It shows how big her heart was and still is for our mom.
James is getting big to. He is almost 10 ans almost done with third grade. His football season is over now. You should have seen him in his jersey! Adooorable! Its a good thing sports takes up a little bit of his time but not enough. Any time hes not playing, hes on the computer or on the 360. He is doing good though.
Bobby just turned 13 and is almost out of seventh grade. He does play baseball. But he is like James, when hes not playing sports, hes on the computer. He still picks on James every once in a while but its not to bad especially because we know that if it really came down to it, he would be there for him if he really needed it in a heartbeat (as we all would).Bobby has grown so much in the past few months. I already feel small standing next to him. =( haha. He has the girls all over him. I keep having to scare them off-lol-.
I an good to most of the time. My dad, Nikki, her mom, and of course the rest of our family have been so good to us. We appreciate it very much! Im still short which wont change. I think im about done growing (maybe another inch if I get lucky- im hoping). Im in choir and cheerleading and am a 4.0 student. Music is my life mow. Im fourteen and am about to end middle school. Im going to high school next year yeaaah! ha. I am writing this from my dads work. I got to hang out with him today.I wanted to let everyone know how we were doing and thank everyone that prayed for us and was there for us when we needed it most. I love you all so much and I cant even begin to tell you how grateful I am for you guys! I mean it! If there is one thing that ive learned from all this its that you need to live life to its fullest and live it while its happening right now and not take things for granted. Always remember the ones you love and dont forget to make sure they know how much you care about them because you want that to be there last feeling and you never know what could happen. Life does some crazy stuff. Well I think ive written all I can for now. I will start updating this every couple weeks. Bye. xoxoxo
Love Always,
Christen = >

Marie Rashida's Mom
April 26, 2009
We just passed the third year of Rashida’s home-going. As I write this last entry Christen, Bobby, and James sit through a talent show performed by Victoria and her cousin Jordan. (Attendance is mandatory) The two girls dance, sing, pretend play toy instruments, and will, as usual, end their show with the pledge of allegiance. Bobby rolls his eyes but smiles in support, occasionally getting caught making fun with his cousin Thurston while eagerly waiting to get back to playing with their PSPs. James sits politely, tries to keep from giggling when the girls forget their lyrics and glances at me, all the while waiting to watch the other boys play their hand-held games. Christen shows full support, raising her hands to speak (one of the rules set by the girls before every performance) clapping at the appropriate time, and endeavors to keep her cousin Katrina from interrupting the show. They have recovered as much as a child can; these children who have something in common that, as large as this world is, only the four of them can truly empathize to the point of knowing each other’s heart where hers is concerned. They feel free to talk openly of Rashida here, and though it’s easy to see some of David’s traits in them, (especially Bobby) at times they express, and laugh or cry with some of her mannerisms so precisely that, for a second, time reverses and its as if she were standing in front of you. I’m blessed to report that they are happy again, and that the evidence of that contentment shows in their home, schools, work and play. All four are honor students. Christen is in cheer leading. Bobby is a sought after team baseball player. James made two great plays in today’s tag football games. Victoria gave up junior cheer leading for a chance to learn karate. I don’t get that last one. At their own times they still shed tears over loosing their mom, we all do. But I know that God has a special plan for these four. This knowing goes beyond a cute saying and reaches into their future where only God and Rashida know how he will even the score by what he has in store for them and all those they will influence. Thank you all for your comments in this guest book. They brought comfort to us when we needed it most.
