I knew you were "my people" my first day of work. I saw you and you truly saw me! I'll always treasure our memories and look forward until our see your next time. You looked so beautiful, so happy so Miss Barbara on Tuesday. I wish I could share one more laugh, one more sorry, one more moment. Rest easy Angel. Xoxox. Fly with the Eagles

It has been so difficult to walk in to work and not seeing you there. Most difficult & probably overwhelmingly sad, is not to hear your contagious laughter, your animated stories & your positive spirit. I miss you my sweet Barbarita, & I wish I could have hugged you one last time that Tuesday afternoon. Fly high & until we meet again.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
