April 29, 2007

To all of Barb's family and friends our sympathy goes out to you.
Even if we did not get to see Barb as often as we would have liked. She has always been close to our hearts. I talked to her at Laurie's Memorial day party for quite a while. It was by phone, so I did not get to see her. I was still very sick.
Your mom took care of everyone. She was a very uplifting woman. I never saw her depressed She was the cement of your family.
She will be greatly missed.
Vince and I are so sorry we could not go to the wake or the funeral.
I don't seem to be making much progress, now with both Barbara and Jack in heaven, maybe they will intercede for Vince and I.
All our love enclosed.
Vince and Peggy

To the family of Barbara J. O'Connor,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Barb. She was always such a pleasant person to have at our parties. She was friendly to all human and animals alike showing an understanding of compassion. I always felt sorry for her that she always seemed to be in pain of some kind so one good thing is that there is no more suffering and pain.
