Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort as ours will us. I do not know how but Aunt Barb will find some way to bid against me at the Family Reunions.
Mom (Florence) always called her "her oldest daughter" and Helen always thought of her as a sister. If there is anything we can do please call.
With love, again our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our deepest sympathy & prayers are w/ you all. There are no words to express our sorrow .
We weep for our own sorrow of that we will miss her. We should rejoice knowing she has moved on to a much better place w/ no pain or suffering, nothing but joy and peace.
I'm sure Aunt Barb has the angels and everyone laughing up in Heaven. For sure she will be watching over all of us.
Most of all, we think we will miss her laughter. May your hearts find peace.
