So sorry about your Mom's passing only in the sense that you're so sad and will miss her terribly. But, you guys, just think how happy she is now AND you will see her again!
Praying for your peace... God bless each of you. Love & Hugs

Kenny, Robert & Becky;
I'm sorry for the loss of your mom.
So many memories of your mom and dad, and the closeness of your grandparents and parents to my family. The memories of the stories of your grandparents being my parent's best friends and being with my parents the day I was born.
May you and your families remember the great times with Barbara and the blessing of knowing that Barbara is in heaven not only with Bob but with her Heavenly Father.

Barbecue was a sweet and caring lady. A child of God. The fun and laughter we had at family gathering. She will be greatly missed. But, no sorrow. She is with Jesus and Bob now. I imagine she and Bob have a lot of catching up to do.
