One of my earliest memories of my parents is them taking me to see The Little Mermaid when I was a little kid. I was lying down on their bed upstairs when they came in asking if I wanted to see the movie. I enthusiastically said YES, and we were off across town to spend the evening in the theater. I gained my love of movies from my mom. She would put up with my synopses or film critiques, yet never wavered in her attention. Over the years, we would go and enjoy so many films together, even a few last year, and because of her, creating memories at the cinema will be a favorite hobby of mine for the rest of my life.
Dear Sister Barbara,
I missed you so much, your Love and missed your voice not yell at me! Ha! Ha! You know me I like bugging you, I missed making home made Greeting Cards in your doll house, having are snacks and drinking water, pop trying to hind from your sweet husband Douglas but you know we couldn’t hide from him Damn we couldn’t hide from him he always find us and the food! Dang! it oh well we put up with him as usually. I’m so glad we was finally able to talk together and promise you I will get along with but he was pain in the rear end but me and Doug do get along together still with you not here with us! I still remember when we was younger when you went out sneaking in without waking mother and Rudy up so you didn’t get in trouble for being out past your curfew ! you made me move over to get in bed and told you it was cold over here you said yes I know because your side nice and warm you got it all warm but I am freezing here!
Missing my dear friend! Everyday we pass your house and say we can’t believe you are not there! We had so many good times together! Running to Dairy Queen or Banana Boat at the drop of a hat! New Year’s in Canada or home, it was always a great time! Universal Studios in Florida, going out to dinner and playing cards on Sunday evenings… so many things we shared. But most of all I just miss our talks we had sitting on the porch! I miss you so much! Love you my friend!
Your mother was the best. Prayers and warm thoughts to you and your dad during this time.
She was a lovely and caring woman – always made me feel welcomed when we would play together as children. Heaven gained an angel. Praying for you and your family.
She was a great friend to me.
All of us at Oleander send our sympathy. Peace and comfort to all the family. We will miss Barb. She was a lovely lady. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
I am so heartbroken. Your mom was definitely one of my favorite band moms throughout high school. If there is anything you need, just let me know.
I drove school bus with her. She always had a smile and great sense of humor.
I’m so happy to have had a time of deep connection with her and to have shared our affection for you. I’m so deeply sorry, Will.
I have fond memories of her all the way back to elementary school. What stands out the most was how supportive and involved she always was, and how much that showed her love for you and the community. She will be missed, and thank you for sharing her with all of us.
We have many fond memories of your mom. We love you all and we are sending hugs and prayers during this difficult time.
