My kind mother in law. Who welcomed us into her life, her love and her home. Your home was my sanctuary. I will always miss you. You will always be in my heart, and vividly alive in my mind and in lives of your grandchildren. Rest In Peace “ma” and God Bless all those you have touched. Love, C.
Although Barbara and I have not seen each other in years. We have kept in contact and remained good friends. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend who will be missed by all. Sending my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to her family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Linda
You were a wonderful friend and neighbor. We will miss you❤️🙏🏻
Dear Barb, amassing woman who always made me laugh. Thank you for never making me feel like just another guests but a close family friend. You will forever have a special place in my heart. And you will lived thru your grandkids.
Barbara was my next door neighbor here in Simpsonville S.C. Although I only knew her for 5 years she was a wonderful, sweet and very funny lady. I remember the first time we invited them over to our home, which I believe was Christmas time of 2015 and was so astonished how funny and talkative she was! She loved her birds which we were fortunate to experience them as well. I will miss her!
I am so very sorry about Barbara’s passing. This is a shock and so very sad. Barbara was such a character and I will always love her for the work she did on my family genealogy, she was our families “Auntie B”. Her spirit, love and passions are represented in all her family; who she loved deeply. I will miss you Barbara and am forever grateful that our lives crossed and that I had the blessed opportunity to have my Auntie B-Thank you!
Dear Frank and all of Barbara’s family, know that we are praying for your comfort at this difficult time. I knew her from junior high through high school. She was bright and outgoing. She was my first date. She asked me to a Girl Scout hayride and square dance at Mystery Farm. We remained friends through our school years. Speak of her often and revel in your happy memories.
Barb and Frank,
I had no idea you were gone until today. Thank you both for being part of my life when I needed you most.
Rest in Peace old friends.
