    Aunt Barbara will always be part of the foundation of so many special childhood memories. In those early years, our big, close-knit family—filled with sisters, cousins, laughter, and love—was something truly special, and she was right at the heart of it.

    I’m grateful for those moments and the family she helped build. She will be remembered with love and respect.

    Aunt Barbara was a pillar in our family. So many wonderful holiday memories with her. And fighting over her pecan pie with you, Tammy. Prayers for comfort and fond memories to abound.
