JB and Family,My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. God will strengthen you as only He can. You have honored your Mother by providing her with all of her needs: Linda, Robert, and Sherri lovingly caring for her close at hand; Barbara and JB supportively caring from a distance, with their visits, cheerful phone calls, and JB's creative and colorful post cards. You all gave your Mother love and laughter. A mother could not ask for more. May your fond memories lift your spirits.

I am sorry to hear about your mother and I will miss her in the beauty shop of Grand Prairie Nursing home she would come in every week with a smile and a cup of coffee in her hand, and try to backup her wheel chair to the dryer and she would do good for the most part but some times I thought she would go through the wall but she got better, will miss her smile and she would talk to us all the time she was under the dryer we love your mom and thought a great deal of her I am glad to have meet her. Sincerely Carolyn

To JB and family, We are thinking of you back here in Kansas and Missouri. We are missing hearing a new entertaining story about your childhoods, or viewing a new picture memory to send 'Mom'. I know the great compassion for others that JB has, her level-headedness and even temperament, always finding something enjoyable to do or say to make life so good; I know she must have gotten so much of this from your Mom. What a beauty your Mom is, pictured below, and JB resembles her it looks like to me.
