Dear Jordan, Mark,Dan,Larry and all of Babes wonderful family. We can't begin to tell you how deeply saddened we were when we heard the news of Babes condition prior to her passing. Fortunately we have some beautiful memories and pictures of her at family events that we will always cherish. When each of you children and your Uncle Sammy spoke at the funeral service, each one of you spoke words that were so heartfelt and true.After you all spoke you can tell that anyone who wasn't fortunate enough to have known your mother really missed out on knowing one special lady. She was a great lady, in all respects and we are so deeply saddened by her passing. We can only hope like you said that she is now with your dad, and sure hope they're having fun together, because you have to think good thoughts no matter how hard the circumstances may be. Once again, our deepest and sincere condolences to your entire family, and the world did lose yet another great person. Barry and Barb Forman

I was one of Babes speech therapists. Our last session on Wed was filled with laughter, songs, and a manicure! It was a good session and I will greatly miss her. My sincerest condolences to her family!
