    I'll miss you, Aunt Barbara. You and Uncle John were so generous and thoughtful to all of us in the family. Christmas was very special with your thoughtful gifts and rememberances. Blessings to you. Love, Terry

    I first met Barbara when we taught at Greensburg Central Ceatholic High School, and we reamined friends since 1970. I have missed being able to continue weekly visits with the pandemic and was saddened to not be able to visit since March. My sympathy to Edward, whom she loved dearly and was loved in return. Their devotion to Carolyn and to each oher was legendary. May God grant her peace.

    Barbara and I were best friends since 1954 and shared many parts of our lives as one. She was a faithful friend and will be missed by all who knew her. God grant her peace in eternal life.
