To the Gerson & McGrath Familes,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I very much enjoyed being around Barbara. She was a very intelligent and interesting person who was fun to talk to and always showed a deep interest in what was going on in not only my life but my family's as well. I am very sorry I was not able to attend her service but, again, my deepest sympathies.

Yours,
Dwight Kumler

Dearest Barbabra.....
it was our love of words that first brought us together in that writing class...and now it is a challenge to find the right words to tell you how much you are loved.....but you already knew that....you, who have always given your love so freely and with such a gentle touch...you have been and will continue to be a blessing for all of us who have been touched by your sweet love.....and are you writing now?

To the family of Barbara: There was always a special feeling I had when I left a conversation with Barbara. Our shared love for reading kept our meetings interesting. We will miss her pretty smile, but she will always be remembered.

Its hard to loose a Mother no matter how old you are. There is no replacement for the quick hug or quick call to her. The tears will come at the least expected thing. Your sad memories will change to happy ones over time. All her kind deeds will be remembered .
