To: Bob, Robert, Jeanne, Chic,
I am so sorry for your loss. Even though Mark and I didn't make it as a couple, I always loved your family. I will always remember Barbara as a lovely soul. She was always kind, never said anything bad about anyone. My heart goes out to all of you. I love you all so much. My heart goes out to each and everyone one of you. Bob, I didn't get to know you for very long, but I do remember Barbara being so much in love with you. I thank God that you had 36 years together. May God bless you all.

Barb will be so missed by everyone who knew her, she was such fun every Thursday Morning at bowling. Seems all we did was laugh at the spares we didn't pick up, or just laugh at each other for no reason. All our hearts are breaking, she will always be in our hearts and when I think of her I will smile. Bob I'm so sorry for your loss. And all the family. When she spoke of each of you her face just lit up. She loved you all so very much.
