My Dearest Aunt Barb, who doubled as my Mother, Sister and Best Friend, I profoundly miss you.
I am speaking from the heart TO you Barb, rather than ABOUT you-those of you who read this will understand that I feel I'm sharing many words you would also relate.
You were an extraordinarily generous and loving soul to so many; even those you didn't know! Your kindness, thoughtful and loving spirit was a blessing to us all. Your strength & wisdom were incredibly important to those of us lucky enough to live it with you; we love you so very much. Your "get er done" attitude and push, your stand your ground common sense prevailed always, positivity, enthusiasm, supportive nature, wit, grace and endurance were amazing and contagious!
One comfort is, to me, is that Aunt Barb "knows things" and she knew my love for her but I'm saying it all over again!
I could go on forever.
Uncle Jerry, we all love you so much. Prayers in the days ahead for comfort and peace.
Friends & Family....prayers for your comfort and peace.
We were all so Blessed that Barb was "ours" for the time God gave and her spirit will continue guide us forward with God's grace.
Kathy
