Andy and family,
Today was such a wonderful tribute to Babsy. I am glad I was able to be a part of it. She inspired many people and to hear some of the stories last night and today was inspiring to me. The video at the funeral parlor was very indicative of her life-full of people and love. Claire said that you are all grateful that her pain is over but your loss is just beginning. It's funny that the mind knows she is gone but the heart just doesn't understand. Our continued prayers and love to you all.

Andy and family,
Babsy has long been a great source of inspiration to me. Her strength, compassion and dedication to her family has shown me what a loving wife, mother, and sister should be. Forever she will be remembered as a great woman and a wonderful friend. I will miss her!
Our heartfelt sympathy.

Dear Poulos Family:

Mrs. Poulos will always hold a special place in my heart. For all the years I made her crazy, she still treated me like a member of your family. I have thought of your family often through the years, fondly. The Poulos family is in my thoughts and my prayers.

We all shall miss you so much, but we trust in the fact that you are happily and pain free in the arms of our Saviour. It was an honor to know such a beautiful lady as you. We all will be together again someday. With my love,Cathy

Dear Poulos Family:

I was so saddened to find out that Mrs. Poulos passed away. It seems like a lifetime ago that she was so sweet to me when, in actuality, I was making her crazy! In spite of that, she always made me feel like a part of your family. I've thought about the family often through the years, with great memories, and I know how much you will all miss her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
