Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. She will be missed. Barbara was so giving and loving to all. We spent many days at the Senior Centers over the years. Saw her last at her birthday celebration last month. Love goes out to the family.

  2. Mrs. Reed (as I have always called her) was such a happy, friendly and caring person. I knew her since I was a child when my parents were close friends with Barbara and her husband as members of the North Miami Elks. I was fortunate that I was able to keep in touch with her all these years. Cassy, Barbara and I would talk on the phone every few weeks and we had many good conversations. My family has many special beanie babies that Barbara sent to us throughout the years for the holidays and special occasions. When I look at my collection, it reminds me of the special memories of times in the past. I will surely miss our phone conversations but am glad for the ones we had. Love and prayers to Cassy, George and family.
