Love and Prayers from Dick snd Jane
Dear Don and Family,
Barb was a great person. I really enjoyed working with her at University Hospital and remaining friends afterwards. We shared many laughs and went through some difficult times together. She was always upbeat, kind, loving and had the best sense of humor. Her smile and her laugh were her trademarks. She will be remembered and sorely missed. May she now rest in Heavenly peace.
Don, Barb has told me on numerous occasions how wonderful you and the kids have been during her illness. She appreciated all you did and you know, of course, how very much she loved you. May wonderful memories surround you during this difficult time.
God’s Blessings,
Dick and Jane Swaim
