Aunt Barbara,
You got me my first job out of High School, working with you at the Boston Fire Department Headquarters. We shared many good times at work, and the functions associated with it.
We enjoyed, holiday, vacations and many "times" together.
You were a wonderful, kind and loving Aunt. You will always
have a place in my heart.
Rest in Peace
Love
Joyce

My most cherished memories are of you and Uncle Terry. Two of the most loving and compassionate, beautiful people I have ever known in this world. So many happy wonderful years I had with you and still they were not even close to enough. I will always remember Christmas vacations, Uncle Terry always got me and J.P. a wicked awesome Hess Truck, with the lights and the engine sounds, and Thanksgiving feasts, Uncle Terry sure can cook and you could taste the love in every meal he prepared for all of us. I loved to watch the parade on tv, Uncle Terry always had that on, and there was just such a blessed and happy feeling in your home, always. I always will hold dear these and many other wonderful times. Oh yeah, I forgot, the pudding pops, hehehe, we always seemed to eat them all on Uncle Terry but he was and still is so kind. God Bless you Aunt Barbara. May your love and smile shine down on us every day until we meet again in the beautiful home of our father in Heaven.
