    Your mom was such a lovely lady. Never afraid of a new adventure, always pleasant, and had such a giving heart towards others. We will miss her, but remember fondly all of the great times we spent together (from learning how to swim to Tucson visits). She will stay with us in love, memory, and family. Be comforted by knowing that she, and all of your family, is loved during this difficult time.

  8. Maryann, Curt and families,
    Your mom was a second mom to me and I treasure all the love and wonderful times we had together. She always included me as part of the family which was the best feeling ever. I hope you find peace knowing that she is now playing the piano and singing with the angels.
    Love you always, Mom,(Barb).

    Curt and MaryAnn, losing a patent is never easy. But you have so many great memories of her and can be filled with so much pride at all she did. She took me into Eastern Stars, always guided me and supported me in that. She was a wonderful example to follow. She loved her family. That will always be with you.
    Prayers for you all 🙏. Phil and Sally

    Curt and Mary Ann,

    I know that Aunt Barbara battled long and hard with Alzheimers and that must have been extremely difficult. She was very lucky to have you taking care of her and she will missed by all that knew her!

  14. Curt and Mary Ann, She was always a super sweet lady to me. I remember talking to her at the post office. We shared many memories. My mom and dad and your parents were good friends and in the church choir. Boy could your mom play, my mom loved that because she didn’t have to. I’m smiling.
    There is always the pain of your parent not being there in the physical, but their live lives on in you. My prayers are with you and all your families.
