Hello Bobby,
Two things have never changed since you left us forty years on June 22----what was true then and is still true today
and I repeat them.
You were the best we had and you gave us so much to make us better people by knowing you.
I'll be seeing you hopefully not to soon.

Though we only got to know each for a very short time. I know that when my mom picked my godmother she made sure she picked the best one. I grew up with a guardian angel my entire life. Thank you for the best cousins. We may live very far apart we are very close and me and my kids love and adore them so very much. Keep watching over all of us. Xoxoox

Remembering her has no longer been a sense of loss and pain but with time
has evolved to a constant feeling of joy and if possible more love----------

Dear Barbara,
You are and always will be because of your nature the ultimate definition
of how a person represents love in life and beyond.

Even though her life was short her impact on all who knew her seems to have made us better people. We may have suffered extreme pain and loss but the memory of what she was all about transcends these feelings because she taught us how to love and move forward with courage.

I remember the day my mother brought her home from the hospital after she was born. I was six years old and was told she was coming. There were many relatives and friends in the apartment as it was common in those days to greet a newborn as a major celebration. The rest is history
and she indeed turned out to be the best we had

Whenever I would say that I hated someone, my mother would correct me and comment, "You can dislike someone as much as you want, but you should never hate them."
My adult life has been so positively impacted because I believe that to the core of my soul, and I have taught that to my own children.
What a wise, patient and kind woman!
