Susan, Rick and Pam and families,
Jim and I sent our most sincere condolences to you all and to all members of the family on the passing of your mother Barb. Your loss is so great, but her place in your lives was even greater…I cannot even imagine. She was a women who gave so generously and enormously of all she had. She had talents galore and shared them with all those she encountered. As a host, a cook, a gardener, a florist, a seamstress, friend, a parent, grandparent, great-grandparent and mother, wife, sister, aunt, in-law ( and of course a matriarch ) she was the best of the best.
Tears are in my eyes as I think of her. She is reunited with your Dad I think.
May you rest in peace Barb.
