My Beautiful! I will miss you and our special bond forever. You’ve meant so much to me throughout my life. I hope to be half the grandmother you were to me. It’s so hard to believe I’ll never see your beautiful face again, hear your laugh, or get to tell you once more how much I love you and how grateful I am that you were my grandmother. Thank you for all the memories, for all the good times, the casino trips, the card games, the support, and the love you always gave so freely. I’ll think of you every day for the rest of my life. I love you, my beautiful angel!

Grandma, thank you for sharing your life story with me. I loved getting to know you so well and I’ll never forget you. You were still sharp and still funny, regardless of your age. I’ll aways remember the last thing you said to me when I visited you at the hospital over the summer. I said I was afraid I might not get to see you again, and you said “oh well, you’ll just have to get over it”! I’m working on that. Meanwhile, I love you and I’m thankful for the memories.

I do know that Barbara had many people in her life that loved her dearly. One day we will meet and I expect to go on a cruise and play slots with you all day and night. You truly will be missed.

I am so saddened to hear about Barbaras passing. I’ve done her hair for a few years now and always loved our conversations and her jokes. She was always the highlight of my day whenever she came in! I know she’s up there dancing with angels and watching down on her family🩷 sending prayers for her friends and family 🙏🏼
