    I remember Barbaraâ??s smile and her laugh. Cathy and I would hang out and say or do something silly and she would laugh and talk to us. Barbara was always welcoming. As cousins sometime do ,we drifted apart ,to our own lives, but those happy memories will last forever. Joe and Joey my heart shares your sorrow. I hope one day happy memories fill your days.

    I'm very saddened by the loss of my dear cousin Barbara. She always brought so much joy and fun to the visits I made to her mother's house and family reunions. I greatly admired her for her strength, intelligence, humor, and dedication to family. My deepest condolences to the Vavro and Campbell families. May peace and strength be with you during this difficult time.
