I wish we could have spent more time together over the past few years. The long conversations that created our friendship years ago are still a part of who I am today. I feel blessed to call you a friend, Mother-in-law, and Grandma to my kids. You have always had a deep and loving heart and soul-I miss you and love you.-Love, Trin
I will forever feel a deep connection with you. From the first moment we met I felt you were an important part of my life. You will truly be missed! Thank you for wanting to be a part of my life. You helped make it whole again. Your loving niece Joye Smith
You were my rock! The power behind everything I have acomplished! You gave me the strength to be the mother I am today to my SIX beautiful children! May the angels be your guide now. You will be missed so greatly. Thank you for your patience while I learned the secret to cooking without measuring! I LOVE YOU!
I will never forget the time we spent cooking together. I still enjoy cooking to this day and will think of you each and everytime I make Sunday breakfast and other meals that we shared for so many years. I know now that the pain is over and you can move on and sing with the Angels. You had the most beautiful Singing voice and always dreamed of being a Musician. Now is your time.
Always in my heart,
Your niece Melissa

I will never forget all of the days that grammy would pick us three Faith, Hayden, and Khristopher, up from school and take us to the drug store. We would get candy and a drink and go home. For the rest of the day we would sit on the couch watching Charmed, the best show ever. We would sit there and watch tv until mama got home. I will forever miss our days we got to spend all day with you. You showing us how important famiy is an how precious life is. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! <3
Archive Tribute
I haven't written the song I plan to compose about Barbara and "What she/you meant to me" (Working Title) but I did launch my music archive in January, and wrote a feature about Barbara and her influence on/in my life.

Last week my oldest son lost a friend. He said to me, I think I now know how you must feel about losing Aunt Barbara...indeed.
Mom the handy woman
As a youngster I learned alot from my mom. I will never forget the time when i was about 5 years old learning how to fix a kitchen faucet. We lived on 32nd ave in Phx at the time. I stood there intensly watching her every move , removing the handle and slowly dis-assembling the faucet when suddenly it exploded and water shot to the cieling and flooded the entire kitchen while she ran frantic looking for the water shut off valve. Took her a while to find it and it was total panic chaos. Its funny the things you remember from early childhood. So that particular day she taught me to turn off the water before working on the faucet LOL! Love ya Mom!
