To Memories of Barb

This Page is Dedicated to a wonderful and loving woman.
Her name is Barbara.
She passed on December 5th, 2002.
She left behind a legacy of love, caring, and friendship.
So, in her memory we dedicate this page to her.
With love,
Your family and friends
Both Real Life and Internet
We love you and will miss you very much
But, you are always in out hearts.

A Grandmother

Who lived 57 years
Some think that is long
Some think that is short
To live

But,
You made the most of it
You were loving and caring
You took care of those you knew
And those you didn’t know

You touched many
Many more then you may know
You married
You loved your husband
You took care of him
More then most woman would

You had four boys
You raised them the best you could
You loved them
You cared for them
You took care of them
More and better them some mothers would

You had 12 grandchildren
You cared for them
You loved them
You took care of them
You helped raise most of them
Most of them are grown or almost grown

Some are still small
All these children loved you
They will still love you now that you are gone
The grown can teach the small
Tell them stories of you loving and caring
Funny and all

You were a good wife
You were a good mother
You were a good grandmother
You were a good mother in law

You stepped in for your daughter in laws to help them threw
You stepped in to help them raise their kids
You stepped in to teach them what they didn’t know
You stepped in to take care of them when they needed it most
You were there always for whoever needed you
You sister,
your husband,
your mother,
your sons,
your grandchildren
Just to name a few

However, there are many you don’t know
Whom you had touched
People around you unseen or untouched
People far away
People close to home
People whom could not see you with their eyes
People whom could not be touched by your hands
But, people touch just the same

You gave support
You gave courage to those you knew
You gave support
You gave courage to those you did not know.

We are all touched and blessed
For you we knew
Whether it be in passing,
In chatting
In church
In real life
In cyber life

Whether we were family
Or friend
Or acquaintance
Or stranger
You touched us all

You will be loved and missed
By one and by all
We were blessed to know you the short time we did
We will see you again with angels around you
For you were one here
So, they must surround you in heaven

God had sent you here to touch all our lives
Now he has called you home
We were blessed to know here
We will be blessed again when we all meet in heaven

We miss you and love
We were blessed by you
I hope you were blessed by us all too.

In loving memory Barbara VanPelt
Barb we will always love you and remember you
You were one of the kindest people on earth and am sure
One of the best Angels God could have ever hoped for
God may have your soul
But, we keep your memory in our hearts forever

It was for a Web Page for the family,
that Barb has started &
We are hoping to keep it going.

The New Picture is of Barb
At one of the proudest moments I seen her have...
It was taken minutes after Theresa was born...
Barb was a proud Grandma
and there for both of my kids being born...
She loved all her grandchildren
and was proud of all of them...
I know that she was there for the birth of most of her grandchildren...
I don't think she would have missed it if you paid her too...
She was very special and will always be loved and missed...

It was for a Web Page for the family,
that Barb & I had started
So, my out of state family could see the kids
This one will be closing at least partially in the near future
