Expressions from Barbara:
When I am gone just release me let me go so, I can move into my AFTERGLOW you must not tie me down with your tears lets be happy that we had so many years I gave you my love you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness I thank you all for the love you each have shown but now its time I travel alone. So, grieve for me a while if you must then let your grief be completed with trust its only for a while that we must part so bless the memories within your heart and then when you must come this way alone, I will greet with a smile and a welcome home. Those we love don't go away they walk beside us everyday unseen unheard but always near still loved still missed and very dear
The family wishes to thank you all for the love and gratitude shown.
