Dearest Jim and family, You all have been in my thoughts and prayers for many days now. Doug had e-mailed just the other day and made me aware of Barb’s condition. My heart and soul goes out to you Jim and the rest of your family. I pray that faith, family, and friends surround you with the love and spirit you need to get through this sad time. Barb was always a sweet-heart. A very kind soul indeed. I remember her smile and her gentle kind nature very well. If it were not for circumstances out of my control I would be attending the service Monday morning. Unfortunately we just got my dad out of the hospital.
Never hesitate to call if you need anything. God Bless you and you will remain in my prayers.
With much heartfelt sympathy,
Sandy Rawhauser
