Barbara:
I wanted to say a couple things that I did not have the courage to say in front of a large group of people at your service. Allthough I only met you a couple of times, I always thought that you were a sweet and caring lady. Who loved her friends and her family. I learned a lot about you at the service, things that I did not know while you were with us, and It helped me appreciate you a little more. I hope that you went without pain and you are now looking down on your family and friends as you did hear on earth. Give us guidance and protection to thoes in your family that need it, as well as the ones who dont. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy your time up there.

With Love Forever: Jennifer
