Please accept my deepest sympathies to this family whom I hardly know, but who my deceased husband Bill Phillips, spoke of so very highly. He had a deep love for this part of the family. He always talked of how very good you were to him always.
On behalf of Bill, I send my heartfelt condolences.

We are so sorry to hear about your mom and would like to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. We know it is very hard to loose a loved one, especially a parent. We’ve been there and know how devastating it is. At least your mom is at rest with the good LORD.
God Bless you and your family.

I,m saddened at the lose of your mother but joyous at her relief of struggling for every breath. My fondest memories are of a much younger Barb living on Coplin Ave with her family. If I remember right, she even joined us working at Bon Secours Hospital for awhile–mom, Margaret, Barb and myself, And then the young lady who moved to Maine with mom and Alice, became a bride and then moved to Kansas–even picking up an accent.
My prayers and thoughts will be with you at this trying time.
Love, Aunt Peggy
My thoughts and prayers are with you cherly randy joni remember all the good times that you had with your mom, cherish the memories you will never forget.

Joni, Cheryl and Randy,
So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very special person and such a dear good friend to my mom Mickey. They were almost like sisters. I have very fond memories of spending time at your house when I was young and also of having “Tang” to drink at breakfast!. My thought and prayers are with you and your family
Love, MaryLou Keenan Smith & family
She was the sweetist aunt I could ever ask for. When we went out to Colorado for our honeymoon she took care of us. She also took the greatest care of my mother in law, Kathy. I will love and miss her forever.
Love,

We are never ready to say good-bye to our Mother’s.
I have known you for a long time and I know how close you were to her. No words can ease the pain you are feeling right now, but know that it will get better.
I was very fortunate to have known you Mom. She was a very sweet and kind lady who always had a smile.

Dearest Family,
We send our heartfelt condelences to each of you and your families at this difficult time. Aunt Barb was so family orientated and always had a story to share. She will be deeply missed
Love always,
Rick and Gail Phillips
I’d like to express condolences to then entire Jones family, especially to my 2 children, Lorelei & Nathan. Barb was quite a lady & she did alot for my kids & the grandchildren that she & I share. Even though we had our differences at times, it never lasted long. You have to know that the rest of my family & my other 2 children all referred to her as “Gma BB.” She will be greatly missed.
Dearest Friend,
I so wish I could have been there for you as you bid your final farewell to your beloved mother. I know that you were a loving and devoted daughter to your mom, and she was blessed to have such a daughter. I also know that she was a loving and devoted mother to you. I hope, that as you find yourself thinking of her and missing her over the few months, that your lifetime of memories will bring a smile to your face. Romans 12:15 says rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. So, dear frend, I mourn with you that your mom is no longer here on earth, but I rejoice with you that she is free of her pain and suffering and that she is walking (or dancing) the beautiful streets of heaven. I am sure that she had an amazing welcoming party when she arrived!
Love You!
Kim
