I’ll always fondly remember my Aunt Barbara as an effortlessly honest and joyous loving person. She made the world a much better place. May God bless and comfort family and friends, especially my cousins, her children and grandchildren.
Aunt Barb was a very special person. She was happy, loving and one of my favorite people. I am so sorry that we will not be able to make it to PA. for the funeral. We are going to be in Florida closing on the condo that we just purchased. Please know that my love and prayers are with you all in this very difficult time.
Thank you so much Grandma (Barbara Putnam) for loving me as if I were your own grandchild you were pretty much the only grandma I ever had and I will always love and miss you very dearly.
