Dear Scolaro Family,

I never had the opportunity to meet Barbara, but I wish I had because all that I have read about her tells me she was a very special person who touched so many lives. I hope that you take some measure of comfort in knowing you have the prayers and support of so many in the community who have been impacted by the tragic loss of this beautiful young woman. God bless you all.

May 2, 2008

I pray that Barbara is at peace and her family will somehow get through this tragedy, i hope to see some pictures on this guest book of Barbara and her family, she needs to be always remembered for being such a wonderful mother, friend, sister, and aunt, God Bless You Barbara always.

May 2, 2008

To Noah and Frankie,
Its not fair! I am truly sorry for the way your life has been changed. Know that your family will love you and care for you the way they know your mom would have. Know that your mother loved you so much. Know that you are not alone. Know that you are loved by so many. Know that you will grow up to be wonderful, loving, strong, independent men. And one day you will become loving, and caring fathers. And you will pass on the wisdom your mother instilled in you. You are loved.

To: All of Barbara Jean's family and friends.
Hold on tight to the memories you hold close in your heart. Right now, those memories are what will bring tears to your eyes, they seem painful. However, they are what will get you through this difficult time. Although 29 years wasn't nearly long enough, everyone who knew Barbara knew she was a wonderful person, and that she would help anyone in need. Especially the animals she loved so dearly. I can still picture her in a black bikini, at the cottage trying to help Jinga catch a fish. And then taking Noah and his cousins for a canoe ride. She was a loving mother, and her children will grow up knowing how much love their mother had for them; it is now our job to remind them. When your sad, close your eyes and picture her glowing smile. Then, think of something you want to say to her, and know that she is listening, and that she can hear you. God Bless.
