Mr. Weihmiller, Bill, and Dan:

Mrs. Weihmiller was always gracious and nice to me in person, and on the phone. I know that she had a good sense of humor, which came to the fore when she and Bill played a trick on me one time. I really am sorry for your loss.

I'll never forget Barb coming all the way down to Hobbs, New Mexico to help with our new child, as Jeannie had to have some surgery, and of course I had to work. What a wonderful lady. She rode the bus down and back up to Colorado. There's a better place for people like Barb, so let's keep that in mind along with out grief.

Mr. Weihmiller, Billy, Dan and Aly, I knew Barbara for only a short time, and in that short time I came to know a beautiful, kind, caring and loving woman. She loved her boys and especially " her" Allison. God Bless You !!!

Dear Bill and Family,

Was sorry to hear about Barbara's passing. She apparently put up a great fight. We always enjoyed her. Sorry the years got away from us.
May she rest in peace.

Dear Bill, Billy and Dan...at peace, no pain and now with the ones waiting for her. My only girl cousin on my Dad's side and I looked up to her when she was in high school and I was in Jr. high. She was always smiling and into lots of things at school. So glad we had that time together when Matt and I came to visit after Dave passed. My prayers of comfort to you. Love you guys.

Nana to walk into your room and see you smile,
I walked over and hugged you all the time,
you always made me smile and always had stories to tell.
I loved sitting with you everyday and listen to the memories you had to share
You showed us that life cant be all that bad
there is always a light at the end of a tunnel,
You were so strong,
You had faith in us all,
You had great sprit even if the day was dull.
you weren't just my Nana
you were my best friend
I know you had to go,
now I feel I'm alone
but I know you're close.
when I feel the warmth at night I know its you giving me a good night kiss,
when I feel my chest getting tight I know that's you giving me a big hug,
when I feel the wind brush through my hair
I know your whispering hello to me ..
when I see the sun shine I know you're happy,
when I see that bright star I know that's you watching down on us all and smiling
now a beautiful angel watching over us all,
we pray to you each night.
Loosing you, Nana, broke my heart and every day without a doubt I think of you and shed a little tear, for a Nana I loved so dear.

Love,
Petunia

Bill, Billy, and Danny, I know each of you have some very fond memories of Barb's smile, sweet words of encouragement and concerns about your well-being. I have savored a few over the past 35 years myself. Barb helped me realize I was a special part of your family even though it was difficult for me to accept her unconditional love. I have been forever grateful for that love, and have incorporated her appreciation for the family unit into my life.

May your hearts and minds be filled with loving memories of the encouragement she offered and the kind words she spoke as she cheered you on during your endeavors. She was a sweetheart.
Thank you for taking good care of her.
Love, Jeannie

Dear Weihmiller family...I did not know Mrs. Weihmiller, but having worked in the same industry as Bill and knowing the type of person he is, I'm sure she was a wondrful person. My condolences to you all.
