My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, as you remember and celebrate Barbara, your mom, grandma and loved family member. I have many wonderful memories of visiting Barbara over the last 3 years, at church, in her various homes and several times in hospital. Discussing the bible, praying with her, (most often for all of you!), sharing communion, and preparing her for her baptism, are all wonderful memories. One particularly joyful memory is of her dancing on her baptismal day in the church service with another woman of the same vintage and they were so happy! ! You all were wonderfully attentive to her, and she spoke appreciatively of her family and their care. It was great Jack too, the times you joined in our visits, that meant a lot to your mom. She certainly has a sparkle and will shine in heaven and watch out for all of you and you can likely hear her encouraging you to live with love for God and for yourself and each other. Blessings, Reverend Canon Janet Lynall.
