Sorry for the loss of your mother. May you find hope in the words at Acts 24:15, “and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous.” Resurrection is a standing up again. Comfort one another. Let others help.
I was just shocked to see Barbara’s name on this registry—I was actually looking for the name of the Mother of a friend of mine.
I worked with Barbara some years ago at the company then known as Yellow Freight…..and you are right, Barbara was such a lovely person. We shared a table with her and Ralph at the company Christmas Party at Crown Center and had the best time and made the best memories of any party we attended. I wish to
extend my sympathies to the family on the loss of this gracious
lady……………..I grieve with you……….. Barbara Crews
