    To Gail, Michelle, Danny and grandchildren. Barbara, your mother and grandmother was my oldest sister. Barbara came along as the first girl in our family, following five boys. She was taught as we all were, the value of education and hard work and that we should follow the Christian teachings of the Bible to the best of our ability and understanding. She left home at an early age and followed the principals she was taught. Life at times wasn’t easy and like all of us we faced many difficulties and challenges. Her health in the last number of years was a challenge. She faced it with courage and determination until the final day when she faced her final challenge and said I am ready to go. Philippians 1:21 says “for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” There is love that will live forever and there are memories that will shine through our sorrow. May the wonderful memories of your mothers love be with you and comfort you as you journey on. Goodbye Barbara, until we meet again in heaven.

    Love uncle Jack.
