Dear Barb, Lou, and Nancy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. You were blessed to have a mother who loved you deeply and who knew how to laugh.
I am sorry for your loss.

To the family of JoAnn Faust:,
I only had the opportunity of meeting JoAnn a handful of times. She was so charming. I enjoyed talking to her. I know that she was very proud of Barbara and her work with young children as well as her writing. It is a gift for a mom to feel how accomplished her children are. You gave her a legacy and I know you will miss her dearly. It's our loved ones that warm our souls that we miss the most. However, she is always there for you but in another "dimension". My prayers of comfort are with you at this time. Stephanie Gregorie from Buffalo

Dear Mom,
We hope you enjoyed your Memorial Service. It was great to meet so many of your friends that you told us about through the years. The service and the reception after were wonderful and brought back many memories.
We love you and miss you.
Your Son.
