Dear John, Ryan, Kevin, John and Daniel,
I was so deeply saddened when I heard today, of the devastating loss of a lovely wife and mother so dear. Words can not suffice when it comes to expressing how I feel about Barbara and your profound loss.
I pray that you are all comforted by the love of each other, family and friends and that your beautiful, warm memories bring you peace at this terrible time. My mind is racing with special thoughts, particularly fond memories of our days together in Brentwood and visions of a wonderful mother with her darling boys and the best neighbor. The world is at a loss. I hope that you can feel the hugs tucked in with the message.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Barbara Traola and family

It was with deep remose that we read of your lose. Jeff Moser and I were class mates of Barbara back in Brentwood High and while I did have the opportunity to see her from time to time in church, your loss comes as a shock. Barbara gave me inspiration and support in my Parkinson's fund raising. I will remember her as a kind and gentle sister-in-Christ. - Carl & Christine Diwby & Jeff Moser
