You all hold a special place in my heart. Dave, you and Barb were always so loving and encouraging to me. I will always remember Barbs love, warmth, and laughter. She will be greatly missed. We will be praying for Gods peace through this difficult time.
My name is Elizabeth Jones and we lived next door to your mom's parents on Maplecrest Road in Fort Wayne. We had the chance to meet her and visit many times when she would stop over, as we did with Aunt Katie and Uncle Jim. Of course that was many years ago I think I was 10 or 12. Uncle Jim even took us for an airplane ride over FW. We always enjoyed visiting because your mom was so nice and kind.
Your grandmother made the best popcorn balls!!! We would always shovel the snow for them or if my mom baked cookies, pie, or made soup, stew etc. we would take some over to them. Sometimes we would just pop it to visit. We would check on them in the winter and see if they needed any groceries when we were going out. They were our BEST neighbors and we missed them terribly when they moved.
We are sad that we unable to attend the Saturday service as we would love to touch base with all of you.
My niece is competing in Winterguard State Finals in Indy.
Please give our sympathies to Aunt Katie and Uncle Jim
My parents still live at 4120 Maplecrest Road FW 46815.

You have my deepest sympathy.
Barb was the BEST!
She was so supportive and sweet when I was at my condo.
She appreciated me and my work painting and sprucing up the clubhouse. I just loved her. How could anyone not.
I will miss her so much! Her smile and happiness was contagious.
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
She will be missed by so many of us!
God Bless............
