Barbara was a wonderful neighbor and our children had many adventures together. George and I are sorry that we are not in town this weekend to attend the calling hours. I love to Laura, Caroline and Liz.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate you and always have. Love, Liz Mike, Laura and Caroline too!
Although it has been years I still remember myself and my siblings visiting our cousins Bobbie and Dick, doing fun kid things together . I often think of those olden days. God speed Barbara.
Thank you Jim! We appreciate you reaching out.
Barbara and Rich were wonderful neighbors for many years. Always there for a helping hand, a fun evening and advice! Barbara and I also enjoyed our Garden Club and many “deep” discussions about our lives. A previous commitment precludes George and me from attending calling hours, but know we are thinking of Caroline, Laura and Elizabeth during this difficult time.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your memories. We appreciate it.
Mrs. Meyers was a kind and loving mother to her three daughters. I offer my sincere condolences to Caroline, Laura, and Liz.
Sincerely
Eric
