Remembering Barbara, who I first met in 1987 when I was dating her son, John. She was an incredible woman who always put family first, even helping me get my first apartment and job. I'll cherish those memories, especially the view from our Richmond Street apartment overlooking the Marlboro Man billboard. Barbara, you will be truly missed. Please give Tyler a big hug and kiss for me. ❤️🙏 #Memories #Family #Love
Me, Destiny, and Makenzy used to stay over at our Mom-moms frequently. She always made sure we’d have the best memories as we grew up. We’d stay up all night and she’d take us to IHop as soon as she woke up. She was selfless and hilarious. She was the glue to our childhoods. She always made sure we were happy, safe, and having a good time. She showed up to all of my games, dr’s appointments, school events, etc. She’d always end the night with “Sweet dreams” or “Dream of butterflies”. I am forever grateful for the memories she made possible for me to have. She is the strongest person I ever knew and I will forever hold on to all of the things she’s taught me.
Aunt Barb you were something special, and I will truly miss your sweet smile & the way you reminded me so much of my pop-pop ( built ford tough)! I know you’re happy to be with everyone you have missed. Until we meet again I love you, and let everyone know I miss them 💔
I will always Remember Mrs. Keller as the sweetest , kindest she was. I was always sit on the steps and talk to her as she was my next door neighbor. So very sorry to hear of her passing. Rest in Peace 🙏
