Hi Mom. It's me. Yesterday it was 5 years that you've been gone. I know you're doing fine and we are doing fine too. That doesn't change the fact that I think of you every single day and miss seeing you and especially hearing your laugh around the holidays. Just wanted you to know I Love you and I'll ALWAYS Love you. Until we meet again, your Son.

Mom, these years seem to be flying by. I still remember the day and time like it was yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I tell everyone this. I promise to keep your memories alive in my heart. Jas talks to your stone at the Crepe-Myrtle tree and prays to you. She loves and remembers her Nana with adoration. Thank you for always being there for me and teaching me what to do and what NOT to do; all important life lessons. I miss you more than anyone realizes but my inner drive makes me want to make you proud. You're NEVER forgotten.
All my love and until we see each other again...I love you.

My time with you was very short but in that short time I loved you. You are with our Lord and we will see each other again. I didn't have to know you long to know what a wonderful person you were. Your son Rob is one of the finest people I have ever met in my life. You live on through him. You did a fine job with him and I will never forget you or your son.
Love

Mom, 3 years ago today you left us to go home and be with the Lord. All your ailments and demons were left here with your physical form. God is probably the only one who realizes how much I miss you-time doesn't fix it but it dulls it a bit. I can move forward knowing that you are in God's care and that you are forever healthy and thriving in heaven. One day we'll embrace again but until then, just know I love you "ALWAYS".

We never forget you and always visit your Memorial Stone under the crape myrtle tree. You are always in our hearts and I miss you so very much!

Love your "daughter-in-law-of-mine"

Mom I can't believe it has been more than 2 years since you passed. I see how small Jas is in the photos with you. She still remembers you and talks of you often! Just the other day she drew a picture for you and said it was "in memory of Nana". I know for sure you are watching over us because your plants are all still thriving and you know I have never been able to keep a plant alive!

Love your "daughter-in-law of mine""

Happy Birthday Mom. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you and how much I love you. Everyone is doing well (as I'm sure you can see) and life is good. It would be better with you here with us but I know God's plan is already written. One day, we'll meet again so until then, just know that I miss you and I love you. I'll try to make you proud!

I saw a lady on the plane the other day that looked just like you and I almost lost it. I really do miss you. By now I would have a card on the table or a hand-written note by you. Your absence hurts- but I do know you are at a better place and no longer suffering..Love you always. Cassandra

I thank God that I had the opportunity to meet you though the time was brief. I thank God for the miracle of your life when the doctors in ICU believed there was no hope for you. God breathed life into you then. He gave you time with family and time so spend with your son Rob, his wife and your precious grandaughter. I loved you from the time we met. You are with the Lord now. Love you

It's been a week since we laid you to rest and I've been thinking of you and how you are at peace and free from all our earthly ailments. We are missing you and every time I walk past your room, I have to resist the urge to poke my head in to check on you like I used to do. We love you Mom. The other day,Booboo asked if you were really gone and I told her "not forever".

My fondest memory

May 23, 2012
by Rose Tierney

I didn't know Barbara for a very long time but the first time I met her I loved her.  She was in ICU and according to the doctors was not going to make it.  I knew from her son Rob she was a fighter.  And I knew she loved the Lord and our God is a God of miracles. I said that very first time I met her - she is going to make it.  I am sure much to the amazement of medical doctors she DID make it.  She fought hard and put everything she  had into her physical therapy and won that battle too. 

My fondest recollection of Barbara is a day she was in ICU.  I went to visit and her son Rob was in the lobby leaving.  He was shaking his head back and forth and proceeded to tell me she was in a "mood" that day.  Quite feisty and full of attitude. (smiling)  At the time I thought he was warning me that perhaps I didn't want to go into the lion's den that day.   As I got to the door of her room I stepped in and said "Barbara" - and much to my surprise her right fist pumped up into the air and a fierce look came upon her face.  I was not sure if she was going to punch me or was happy to see me. I cautiously approached her bedside and held her hand and she was like a gentle lamb.  She could not talk that day but I talked and she listened.  I asked if I could pray for her and she nodded yes.

I didn't have to know Barbara for a long time or see her many times to know her.  She was a loving, caring and very strong willed woman.  And she loved the Lord.  I know her son and told her she did a fine job raising her son - I know that all who know Rob know what kind of man he is.  She had spirit and something that just emanated from her that made me instantly love her. Again I did not know her for a long time - but I will never ever forget her. She is singing with God's angels now and in a place where there are no more sorrows - no more tears.  I thank God that He blessed me with the opportunity to know her.
