I am so truly sorry. Your mom was such a joy and I loved running into her in unexpected places and hearing about everything you had been up to, Eric. She usually was shopping with Tracy when I would see her! I would often talk to her in the line to pick up Alexis at Academy Edison. I loved hearing the stories of how much she loved your dad and she hoped that you would find a love like that someday! Please know you are all in my prayers and in my heart. God Bless.

Barbara was a wonderful person. I loved her sense of humor. She often made a difficult situation easier through her sweetness and ability to see the light side. Time spent with her just flew. I feel blessed to have known her.

I know the family will grieve deeply for her. How can one not suffer terribly the loss of such a special and loving person?
