Denise, Daun, Mark & Scot, I was so sorry to read of your mom's passing. We had lost touch over the years and you always think there is time to catch up. Funny I have been thinking about her lately and here I see it on facebook by accident her passing. She was a wonderful person who loved her family very much. I guess you could say we all grew up together! Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Love Marilyn Bertocchi Hoffman

I will always remember our teenage years, our having children together. Our fun times. Holding each other up when we were down. But mostly the laughing till we couldn't laugh anymore. But to know that you are in arms of our Lord, gives me peace. Love. ROZ.

The Mass has been given, the early prayers have been prayed, and the eulogies have been read. It is now the time I reflect about my relationship, a friendship I cherish, with Barbara. She was a friend to me when I needed one. I was grieving and she helped me through. From Blues Clubs, to festivals, to concerts; from art exhibits, to art lectures, to art classes; from "dives" to fine dining establishments, from adventurous trips to quiet Sunday Mass; they are all memories I have of Barbara. As long as I live, Barbara will be a part of me. I will miss her.
