Missing you. RIP sister
Barbara was a sweet soul and will be missed by many. I will miss our long convesarions. I wish we saw each other more. Time seems to get away. Rest in peace my beautiful sister 🙏🏻
Sending All My Love and Condolences to Billy & Sally, Angela & Juan, Judy, Yvonne & Patrick, and Your Children & Grandchildren. I am so sorry for your loss. I have much respect and adoration for your wing of the beautiful family i am so blessed to be a part of…RIP cousin Barbara – I look forward to getting to know You on The Other Side; in the meantime, will you please tell my beloved soulmate, Steven Joseph Vincent, who also passed away suddenly (on 1/3/2024), that he will always have my heart. Like You and Lloyd, Steve loved scouting for minerals (gold!), and we would find and give each other heart-shaped rocks; now his spirit shows me what must be record amounts of heart rocks every day. Steve made roses from palm leaves and we sold them on the street and at art shows, too. For sure Steve will enjoy hanging with You and Lloyd in the Spirit World, and when my time comes I will, too. <3
