To my dear Aunt Barbara who I know is with the Lord walking on streets of gold in heaven right now. You prayed for me when I was just a teen to come to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Your prayers played a big part in my salvation in Christ today. You had a kind and tender heart always smiling and looking out for others. I am so grateful that you came to live with us for the four months during your house remodel last year. During that time, I felt like I got to know you even better. I am looking forward to seeing you again someday. Until then, you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace until we meet again. Love, Your niece. Laura
