Barbara You were a great Step Mom. I just want you to know how much I love you & how much I will miss you. You were always there for me in so many ways. I have so many good memories of you. You never looked down on me. You never judged me. Your best words were that you would NEVER throw stones at a glass house. You made me laugh all the time. I remember our chicken ranch & black oak days!!! You would always crack me up about my kids. You would always promise when they stayed with you they would be in good hands, you really wouldn't break them!!! You would just crack me up every time! Your there Grandma Barbie! I remember Alyssa asking my mom if you were the reason that grandpa Joe & her were not together, of course my mom said NO. Alyssa said she was so glad because she really wanted to like her grandma Barbie. She was about 6 yrs old. I could go on & on with great memories of you. Barb Thank You so much for all you did for me. Love Always Dana.

My dear friend Barb has always held a very special place in my heart. When we became fast friends 27 years ago I had no idea that she would become the friend that you are blessed with once in a lifetime. Loyal, non-judgmental,and truly the best friend in every aspect that you could ever hope to have. I will hold all of our memories ever so close to my heart - where her laughter will live on forever.

Grandma Barb, I feel so sad that I wasn't in California to say my goodbye to you. I love you & I will always miss you. You'll never know how much your kindness meant to me & how I always looked up to you as my grandma Barbie. You touched so many lives and you were always willing to lend a helping hand. I know you're out of pain now & that brings me so much peace to know so. Rest in peace, you were such an amazing person. I will cherish the memories I have with you until I join you in heaven so we can create more. Love always, Alyssa, Michael & Kya.

My sister will live in my heart forever even though she left us too soon. She is with dad, Bobby, and baby Gabriella and all of those that have already left us. I have comfort knowing she isn't suffering anymore and is at peace in heaven. She wil be missed everyday by many, but will be reunited with all of us one day.
