Mrs. Barbara it was a pleasure meeting you and seeing the love for your husband and children and seeing how well they were raised by you and Don Leo. It was very nice for me to see all of you gathered together chatting and laughing all together, a rare thing to see today. I assure you that as much as possible I will take care of Sandy because I love her very much for me she is my daughter too. I applaud you because you were a working woman and your hard work accomplished your purpose that they all be united. Now you are in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ and He will say very well done my daughter. I'm going to miss you, rest in peace

I was very saddened to read in today's World Herald about the passing of your Mom, Wife and Grandmother. We worked together in medical records at Bergan for 13 years. We also worked with Pat, Kathy, Marlene She always had a smile on her face and we had great times together. Lot's of laughs. So many memories and one I'd like to share with you. I was one of the lucky ones to get her receipt for caramel corn. She always told me that the secret is to use a cast iron skillet for the caramel. Everyone in my family expects caramel corn for Christmas. May wonderful memories put a smile on your face and peace in your heart. It has for me. God's blessings to all of you. May a beautiful soul rest in peace.

Mom,
My heart is broken. I will miss you dearly. It was a true joy to have you as my mom. All the fun, all the laughs, all the memories, I will treasure them all. I am truly sad that Annika only had 7 short years with you. We treasured every single one for sure. She just loved sitting on the arm of that chair to be right by your side. We will never forget you. Your reassurance that you loved me is what will keep me going. I will love you forever and always.
Love, Sandy, Jose and Annika.

I think back and I have so many fond memories growing up that include Barb, Leo, and all of the kids... it's hard to believe that we are in such a strange time of our lives like this and that she is gone. I suppose it is best this way, for her sake.
I pray that you will all find peace knowing that Barb is in a much better place, where there is no more sorrow, no more cancer, no such thing as Alzheimer's, no more pain and no more suffering. I hope to meet up with her and see all of you there one day.
