So sad to hear of aunt Barbara’s passing. I’ll always remember the fun game nights and vacations our families took together to Disney and Ghost town theme parks. Aunt Barb will be greatly missed. Sending love and prayers.

Dear Jason & Randy, I am so sorry to hear that Aunt Barbara passed. Mom and Dad had to move in with me and sell the house on San Anton last year. I think of all of you a lot and Mom and Dad reminisce about the days they used to play canasta! Uncle Ray used to sneak me extra hush puppies when we'd all go to Williams Seafood together. All of my memories of all of you are so happy. I hope the best for you both and again my sympathies on your loss.
