Sheila,
I am so sorry to hear about Barb.
Yes, she will be missed.
I hope you are ok?
I know I haven't written much or been around any.
:( If there is anything I can do, let me know.
Hugs to you all.

Shelia,
I am sitting here in shock.
You and your family will definitely be in my prayers.
I appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I can't imagine what you must be going through and how hard this
is on you.
I know how much you loved Barb.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Please feel free to email or call me if you need to talk or cry.
I will be praying for all of you.
Love,
Michele
I am sorry to hear about your sister.
I don't even have the words to begin to tell you how much you
and your family and sister have meant to me.
If there is anything that I can do please let me know.
I love you very much

Hi Shelia
I was very sad to hear about Barb and my heart goes out to you,
your family and of course Lynn and her sons.
Barb was an amazing woman and she touched my life in such a great way,
I will never forget her.
If not for Barb, her family and yours too shelia,
I never would have had to the courage to love and accept love.
You're in my thoughts
love you all

Shelia,
I am so very sorry to hear about Barb.
I wish there was something I could do to help you, the family,
and all the lil's who are hurting so deeply from this.
Please know that I care very much and will keep you all in my prayers.
I called BJ and Penny and let them know about Barb.
I will never forget her.
She was a very special lady and I am glad I got to know her,
even if we never did get to meet face to face.
Please keep me posted as to how everyone is doing,
and let me know if there is something I can do to help.
At a time like this we always feel awful about what has happened,
but no one knows a way to express their sorrow and caring to the family.
I guess for that reason we always feel so uncomfortable in our attempts.
Perhaps that is why people often just dont say anything or feel
they are saying the wrong thing.
I know you will miss your sister terribly.
In time the pain will lessen, but you will always miss her.
I will remember her for how she touched my life and I hope that others will do the same.
I know you will.
Perhaps if people would talk about how she touched them instead
of trying to say what she meant to you or the rest of her family it would help.
So let me say this....
Barb accepted me totally for who and what I am in spite of my many faults
and past transgressions.
When things here were so very rough she talked with me and helped me through it.
When my husband died she was there for me to talk with and helped me heal from it.
I will never forget her for her kindness to me and her acceptance of me.
I will never forget the fun times we had on channel
and the times she held and loved all the lil's.
I will remember her laugh and her fun spirit that she showed me.
To me Barb was a dear friend with a heart of gold.
I will cherish her memory and miss her greatly.
I am so very sorry that this world now has to live without her in it.
The world is worse off because of it.
Again I want to tell you that I will try to do anything you think I can do
that might help in any way.
If you need to talk or just to sit and cry and have someone hold you,
I can do that over the phone.
Send me your phone number and tell me when to call and I will call you anytime.
Don't worry about the cost because I am on a program
where all my long distance is one price each month.
So if it will help, let me know.
I know it will particularly be harder on you in a couple of weeks
when the world figures you should be getting your life back to normal.
E-mail me any time and I will do whatever I can to help you.
If you want to call sometime I can call you back so your bill will not be so
large.
My number is (***)***-****. Ask for J***** or Dink.
I would hope my family knows who Dink is.
love,
dink
Kim, Dave, Shelia, Lynn, Lee and family:
Words never seem to find a way to express the sorrow felt by the loss of a loved one.
Barb will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
I believe she is no longer in pain and has moved on to a place to meet
those she loved in the past and to wait for those she loved and left behind.
May you all see the legacy and love she passed on through life
and to those she cared and loved.
For they are the ones who will carry her on through life,
with her spirit and memories.
My love and condolescences to you all.
Annmarie
