I think about your Mom often. We shared some good memories while she lived here in Westbrook Village. I remember her fiery temper when she was convinced she was right (particularly playing cards or discussing politics) but also her caring and benevolent heart. She loved her grandkids and spoke of them often. She was so proud of them. I'm sure that you miss her (as do I) but I know that she is close by watching over all of us. May God bless each of you and give you peace and comfort during this anniversary time.

Dear Kevin, Renee, Ann and Scott. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. We will all miss her dearly. She was a wonder mother, grandmother, wife and sister, so dedicated to family and full of energy and life. Despite the distance in our age and the time that has passed, she will always hold a special place in my heart. I know she is resting in peace with Kenny, my dad, mom and our brother Nick. Life on earth is so short. Now she can enjoy an eternity with God our Father and our dearly departed family.

To the Fitzgerald Family (Kevin, Scott and Ann):
I was deeply saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing her over the past 11 years at Westbrook Village in Peoria, AZ. There was a group of us that hung out together; played cards, Bingo, Italian American Club events, church, went out to dinner, to the movies and dances.. Barb had a beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. She was a woman with a heart of gold and loved her kids and grandkids very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I'm sure she will be watching over each one of you, God bless you all.
