Uncle Bruce
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to watch those we love suffer and then leave us. I hope the memories that you have of your life with Barbara will help ease your pain. You are in my prayers.

Bruce, I know this leaves an emptyness only Barbara could fill in your life. Frank and I have special memories of our trips and time spent together. I will miss chatting with Barb on the computer but I know she is no longer suffering...no more meds and now she can enjoy her eternal life. I'm sure Oscar was there to meet her! Sending love and prayers...Pat & Frank
