Mrs. Kendra and Family

Although I haven't seen Bash in years I will never forget the times we spent together in school and later. We went through good times and some rough times but we stuck together. I was sadden to hear she passed on. She was my best friend in our young years and she was always in my heart & thoughts. I will miss her. She was fun, loyal and a true friend.

Basha and I went to St. Ann High School together. The last time I saw her was at my wedding 34 years ago. I am sorry that we did not keep in touch, but the four years we shared as close friends in school produced some great memories. She will be remembered with love.



My thoughts and prayers are with Basha's family at this very difficult time. Basha will always be remembered in my prayers.

Mrs. Kendra and dearest Ursula & family,

I am deeply saddened by your loss. Although I hadn't seen Barb in many, many years, I remember her sweet face and lovely smile.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The following is one of my favorite quotes from the Bible: "The Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."

It is true what they say, the love never dies. From my own experience in the loss of my husband, it truly stays and never dies. Barbara will live on within your hearts...always.

God Bless you all,

With Love,

Sallie (Skipper) Cunningham
